Türkiye seven-day tour itinerary Türkiye self-guided tour guide

Seven-day tour of Turkey: In Turkey, you can get close to the tranquil sunshine of the Mediterranean Sea and feel the ancient vicissitudes of Istanbul (Constantinople). Day 1: Shanghai-Istanbul TK 21 starts at 2030/0450 Depart from Shanghai Pudong Airport. Stop and clear customs at Beijing Capital Airport. The flight takes approximately 10 hours. Day 2: Istanbul (Byzantine Monuments) Arrive in Istanbul early in the morning.

Remember to look down at the airport from the plane. It looks like a leaf cabinet floating on Mal Malakhei. After a short break at your hotel, take the bus or metro to Taksim Square. Pigeons can be released on the square, you can stroll in the lounge or take photos in front of the square monument. There are many tourist buses gathered near the square. Naturally, it is not as big as the bustling Shanghai Tourism Distribution Center. It also provides convenient transportation for those who bring their own bags.

Tourist Line 4 can reach Eminono in just over 20 minutes. You can also get off the train one stop earlier and walk across the Bosphorus Bridge across Europe and Asia to see the local area on the bridge. People's fishing skills, taste the flavor of grilled fish under the bridge. On the other side of the bridge is the historical tourist area of ??Istanbul, which is one of the world cultural heritage sites. Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Colosseum, Blue Mosque, Aquarium and Grand Bazaar can all be captured here. The cooked corn in the Colosseum is also satisfying. The locals sprinkle a layer of fine salt on the cooked corn to bring out the sweetness of the corn. If you have enough time, you can also visit these attractions in two days.

Airport bus: about US$8/person. Attraction tickets: around US$30. Subway ticket: Line 4 bus ticket: about US$5. The local currency is the Turkish lira, with 1 US dollar equal to approximately 1.25 lira. Day 3: Tour Prince Island in Türkiye. Like the Chinese emperor, the sultan had three palaces and six courtyards, and numerous descendants. In order to compete for the throne, the princes will inevitably squeeze each other, and some will win and some will lose.

The defeated princes were often deported to live on the islands near Istanbul. Prince Island is the full name of the Four Islands. Now that the smoke has dissipated, Prince Edward Island has become a gathering place for holiday villas because it faces the sea and flowers are blooming in spring. Cars are prohibited on the island, only horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians travel. Arrive at Eminono according to yesterday morning's route and buy a ticket to Prince's Island, which takes about 50 minutes. There are a row of fish restaurants in Prince Island Port, where you can enjoy the unrivaled sea view and taste the local seafood. Seagulls are flying outside the window, and occasionally white yachts are jumping on the sea. In your spare time, you can rent a bicycle or simply take a horse-drawn carriage to travel around the island and admire the beautiful villa courtyards. I only envy the birds on the sea and the lazy cats on the island, not the gods. Back in Istanbul, you can continue to visit the magnificent New Palace built on the seaside. But I guess the beautiful scenery on the island will delay you for a long time, so you can only wait until tomorrow. Round-trip ferry ticket to Prince's Island: about US$6. Fresh fish meal: about US$15/person.

Wagon: US$20~40/vehicle. Four people can take it at the same time. Day 4: Visit the new city. Istanbul has both the vicissitudes of the old city and the modern new city. In the morning, you might as well go to Eminono first, then take a boat trip to the famous Bosporus, and then get off at New Palace. The white palace and the blue sea are intoxicating first. This place has arrived in New Town. After visiting the New Palace, you can go up the stairs, pass through the international five-star hotel, pass through the dense green trees, and pass through the neighborhoods (haha, climbing a mountain tests your physical strength). On the way, you can find a roadside restaurant and have your lunch. Walk to the Military Museum. There will be a military music performance at the Military Museum at 3 p.m. It would be a shame to miss it.

In the evening, relax at a hamam or belly dancing restaurant in Eminonu. If you want to see an authentic belly dance performance, go to Türkiye. Tickets: US$15/person Turkish bath: US$20~50 Turkish belly dance: US$20~50 Day 5: Istanbul-Antalya TK 414 1125/1240 Take the white airport bus (HAVAS) to Taksim Square. Fly to the summer Mediterranean resort of Antalya. Once you arrive at the airport, the direct sunlight in Antalya may catch you off guard. Don't worry, you'd better go to the hotel first.

Some resorts in Antalya offer airport transfers. If not, the airport bus will arrive at Antalya Stadium Station, and then transfer to an air-conditioned bus in the tourist area of ??Belek. The driver will help deliver it to your hotel door. When you arrive at a seaside hotel, the sea breeze will take away all the heat, and you will truly feel the summer with only sunshine and no heat. Put down your schoolbag and play games with the sunshine.

How can a beautiful summer in Antalya be without a wonderful resort hotel? Day 6: Antalya-Shanghai TK425 2100/1630 I have seen the testimony of Istanbul’s history, so I might as well plunge into the Mediterranean embrace. Swimming at the beach, reading a book, even if you accidentally fall asleep in the sound of the waves, why not? Even though this place was a gift from the Roman emperor to Cleopatra, it left behind countless Historical sites such as Greece and Rome. However, how can we stay with such blue sea, blue sky, gentle breeze and fine sand? It takes about 30 minutes to get from the hotel to the airport at night. It is more convenient to take a taxi directly, which can save time with the Mediterranean Sea.

When we left customs in Istanbul, we were able to arrive at Antalya Airport an hour early.

The next 10 hours of flight, slowly waking up from the holiday ~ ~ ~ Day 7: Shanghai arrived at Pudong Airport in the afternoon. Ah, the dead man has to go home tomorrow and continue to work hard. Tickets can be booked from the Turkish Airlines Shanghai office: about 7,200 RMB/person. Visa: Istanbul hotels are handled by major international departure agencies. 4-star hotels in the old district cost US$60/night, including breakfast. Maybe you can find something cheaper online. We highly recommend the Antalya Hotel, a five-star hotel by the sea in Belek Resort, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. $200/night, but worth it if you're only staying for one night.

Two people traveling together cost about 30,000 yuan in total.

I want to record the entire trip, hoping it will be helpful to friends who are about to travel to Türkiye.
