What are you doing in Turkey? Is it safe to travel in Turkey 20 18?

Turkey is indeed a very suitable place to visit. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you how to play in Turkey. Now let's go and see if there is any information we need. Now let's go and have a look.

Safety Many people ask me, is Turkey safe?

It is said that the situation is grim, but you can't feel it when you travel. Everything is normal, and there is sufficient police force on the streets of Istanbul. Don't go to Ankara, the capital, and don't go to the southeast, which is the part bordering Syria. Turkey's scenic spots and tourist cities are not in the southeast. In fact, what really needs to be guarded against is the deception of local people. The taxi meter is genuine in the rearview mirror, and Turkish taxis are very cheap.

It's only 70 lira from IST airport to downtown hotel. Generally, going to scenic spots, including traffic jams, is almost 30 lira.

But we once got 65,438+030 lira on the way to 20 lira, so we should be careful not to change it after giving money (this matter will be discussed in detail in Istanbul).

Visa electronic visa. Application website: http://www.evisa.gov.tr/zh/apply/

The validity period of the visa is 180 days, and the stay time cannot exceed 30 days. The visa can only enter the country once.

The type of supporting documents, if you have a Schengen visa, you should choose Schengen, and if you choose British brp, you should also show it to the customs. If not, choose not to exist.

The electronic visa is printed and carried with you, and handed over to the customs for stamping.

Calling card:

Buy it at Istanbul airport, Vodafone is more expensive, recommend Turkish local brand TURKCELL, the signal is no different from Vodafone, 6G is about 150 lira, driving for one hour. Buy it in tb first when you leave home! The cheapest in China, tens of RMB.

Currency:

1 lira = 1.53 RMB. Need to change Turkish lira, some hotels and hot air balloons accept euro cash, lira is used for meals and taxis.

Turkey's tourism industry is very mature and its routes are relatively fixed. Turn counterclockwise or clockwise from Istanbul. But the scenic spots are scattered, so you can choose several destinations according to the time and your own preferences.

Our itinerary:

Day 0 santorini-Athens-Istanbul

Day 1 day Istanbul: Blue Mosque, St. Sofia Cathedral

The next day Istanbul IST- Kesseli-Capadocia

On the third day, a one-day hot air balloon tour in Gorem

Day 4 Capadocia (Kesseli Airport)-Denise Leigh Airport-Cotton Castle

Day 5 Cotton Castle-Antalya

Day 6 Antalya (Istanbul IST transfer) Paris

There are two airports in Istanbul, Ataturk International Airport (airport code IST) in Europe and Gokchen International Airport (airport code SAW) in Asia. The latter is far from the city center, so try to choose IST.

Similarly, the hotel should be located in the European plate.

If you go to Turkey specially, this arrangement is not recommended.

The optimized route is Istanbul-Cappadocia-fethiye-marshmallow-Istanbul (at least 7 days).

The order of fethiye and Cotton Castle can be adjusted according to the appropriate flights. Cappadocia departs from Istanbul for a connecting flight, and the luggage is direct, so there is no need to go through security check.

Actually, it's very convenient, not to mention saving time than taking the bus. We were lucky enough to buy a flight that only took four hours. If you take the night bus, you can only go to Cotton Castle first. It takes 9 hours to leave Cappadocia in the evening and arrive in the early morning of the next day. Not recommended.

In addition, if you have plenty of time and like natural scenery, you can increase driving along the D400 coastal highway between Antalya and fethiye. (As for the scenery of the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea, I recommend Greece: santorini and Zakingsos, which are across the sea, have more beautiful scenery and higher happiness, and will also do raiders later); Those who like human history can increase Ephesus.

TurkishAirline, booked directly in official website, Turkish Inland Airlines is so cheap that it has no friends. Please feel:

Istanbul-Kesseli (Capadocia) 195.5 RMB/person, including free baggage allowance.

Kaiseli-Denizli (Cotton Castle) 3 12rmb/ person, including free baggage allowance.

The most worthwhile place to stay is Goreme (the core town of Capadocia), at least two nights, not too much. Hot air balloons depend on the weather, so it is common to cancel them temporarily.

Online Celebrity Sultan Hotel

Cave's experience in the accommodation room is very general, but it is the best terrace for taking pictures with hot air balloons, the originator of the terrace! Even this hotel has become an online celebrity. Before I went, I knew it was called lzmir, the same name as the Turkish place name Izmir, and it really came from Izmir.

Dinner in the hotel should be booked in advance, otherwise there will be no seats. You can go directly to the lunch market. The staple food tastes good.

The Museumhotel is recommended for accommodation, which was taken by floret. It is also a cave hotel, which adds a sense of luxury and looks good when taking pictures.

We booked the hot air balloon to the most popular butterfly company, and the price was higher. Like the hotel, we paid a deposit on Taobao.

/kloc-small box for 0/6 people 165 euro/person, with four squares and one square for 4 people. The big box is about 800 RMB/person, and there are 25 people in a basket, which is equivalent to a CMB. When you get there, the front desk will refund the RMB deposit to WeChat, and then pay the full amount in cash, euros or lira when you check out. You can also pay the full amount in advance from Taobao. There is a little brother at the front desk who can speak Chinese. He has lived in China for six years. You can add him to WeChat, book a hot air balloon first and pick up the plane. Booking a hot air balloon flight at his home is free, and it takes two people 15 Euro (round trip to the airport 140 km, which is very conscience).

There is a Chinese food in Goreme Town: Beijin. We had two meals here. In one episode, we asked a waiter for directions (to take photos in a carpet shop). At first, he didn't know where it was. After we left, we walked at least 100 meters, and then he chased us out to show us the way. Later, the children in the carpet shop asked us for 5 lira. After the photo was taken, the water rose and became 50 lira.

The following is what I did, but I didn't completely do it. It is recommended to go to Turkey with a strong traveling companion.

Goreme not only has hot air balloons, but also many cultural relics. Divided into two lines, the red line is a small circle, mainly looking at various stones; The green line is farther away, including underground palaces and so on. The two are 45 Euro/person and 35 Euro/person respectively, but I can't match the number. Sudan hotel can be booked directly at the front desk, and there is a link on tb.

We only went to Pasha Bay (Pa? aba？

), 7-8km away from Goreme Town, and you can take a taxi back and forth. Drivers here usually hit the meter all the way and then say they will wait for you in the same place. The return trip is cheap together. We went back on our word again, but it was not cheap at all. We refused to go to other scenic spots recommended by him, so he changed his mind. It is recommended to book a car free of charge through the hotel front desk. Pashape can take a photo by riding a camel, 10 lira, 20 lira for 5 minutes, and 100 lira for a big circle.

-There are ATV motorcycles, about 90 lira for a single person and 0/20 lira for a double person (one for a double person). The tour bus will take tourists to several scenic spots to take pictures.
