🇹🇷Turkey Fethiye Oludeniz Beach Mediterranean Beauty🌊
#Overseas travel
I'll introduce you to Oludeniz Beach, which is about 20 minutes away from Fethiye City by minibus.
The atmosphere is the complete opposite of the city, surrounded by high mountains, the Mediterranean Sea, and a sandy beach.
It's such a beautiful place that I decided to stay in Fethiye longer as soon as I arrived.
Oludeniz is also one of the top 3 paragliding spots in the world.
The scenery of paragliders flying in the sky and people swimming in the sea is really nice and relaxing.
The auxiliary facilities, such as restrooms and changing rooms, are well-managed, so there is no inconvenience, so bring extra clothes and enjoy the Mediterranean Sea to your heart's content.
The sunset seen from Oludeniz Beach is really beautiful. The atmosphere is so calm and gentle, like a different world from the daytime, so stay until the afternoon!

🇹🇷Turkish Seljuk Ephesus Amphitheater Ancient Ruins Tour
🇹🇷Traveling to the ancient city of Ephesus in Seljuk, Turkey -
📍Grand Circular Theater
Built in the 3rd century BC, the Grand Circular Theater can accommodate up to 25,000 people,
and many important meetings and performances were held.
The Circular Theater is also mentioned in the Bible.
When the Apostle Paul was doing missionary work in Ephesus,
he had a heated debate with idolaters in this theater.
The Ephesus mentioned in the Bible is the current Ephesus.
It is a city that cannot be left out in the history of early Christianity,
and it is one of the places where many Christians come for pilgrimage.
I felt the gap between the rich and poor in the Roman Empire inside the Circular Theater.
The front steps near the stage were where the upper class sat,
and they were made very elaborately and meticulously, so they are still well preserved. However, as I went up to the back, the stairs where the common people sat were broken and in a mess. It is said that the structure is designed to make the sound resonate loudly all the way to the top of the theater even without a microphone, which makes me feel amazed all over again. I heard that they still hold performances as events sometimes.
📍Odeon Amphitheater
It is much smaller than the Grand Amphitheater and can accommodate about 1,400 people. It definitely felt relatively small since I saw the Grand Theater first, so it was less magnificent.
It is said that it was used as a place for the Council of Elders or when foreign delegations came.
It was interesting that the purpose of the same theater changed depending on the location or size, whether it was in the past or now.

🇹🇷Turkiye Selcuk Ephesus Ancient City Kuretes Street Ruins Tour
🇹🇷Traveling to Ephesus, Selcuk, Turkey -
📍Kuretes Street
The long Kuretes Street in Ephesus
You can see various ruins.
If you've seen Greco-Roman mythology, you'll be familiar with some of the names.
The Gate of Hercules, the goddess of victory Nike, the Fountain of Trajan, the Temple of Hadrian, etc...
Since each ruin has a different story, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with it to some extent beforehand.
It's much, much more!!! fun to appreciate than just looking at it without any knowledge.
I sat at the Gate of Hercules at the end of the street and looked down, imagining the old Ephesus.
What did the people who filled this street look like in the prosperous Ephesus?
That was the moment when I thought that I made the right choice to travel to Selcuk!
Highly recommended as a travel destination in Turkey!!!

🇹🇷Turkiye Seljuk Ephesus Celsus Library Ancient Ruins Tour
🇹🇷Turkiye Seljuk Ephesus Travel -
📍Celsus Library
Another place that is breathtaking after the amphitheater.
It was built in the 2nd century AD to honor Celsus, the son of Celsus, the governor of the Roman Empire.
There are four statues of goddesses in front of the Celsus Library,
each symbolizing wisdom, judgment, learning, and virtue.
The original is said to be on display at a museum in Austria.
There is a story that Austria also participated in the excavation of the Celsus Library, so they claimed the right to take the original....
Although it lost much of its original appearance due to the earthquake,
the front of the library is still well preserved.
Even if only the front part remained, it would have been called one of the world's three greatest libraries. I wonder how wonderful it would have been if it had been preserved as it was.
Among the numerous ruins of Ephesus, the Celsus Library is the one that is particularly memorable!

🇹🇷Visiting the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus in Seljuk, Turkey
The reason I came to travel to Selcuk in Turkey is!
To see Ephesus.
It is a commemorative city where you can see various buildings from the Roman Empire era as an ancient Greek colonial site.
The ruins of Ephesus still remain in Selcuk, so many tourists
come here, and in 2015, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
They say that excavation work is still in progress.
Ephesus, which I visited in person, was disappointing even after seeing it for half a day,
but even then, only about 18% of the old city was excavated,
so I couldn't even guess how huge it was!
From famous ruins to ruins I've never seen before...it's like looking at a textbook...ㅎㅎ
If you're traveling to Turkey, you should definitely visit it!

🇹🇷Turkish Seljuk Giant Castle Ayasuluk Fortress
A large fortress on a hill that serves as the center of the city of Selcuk, Turkey, is the Ayasuluk Fortress.
It is a fortress that has been firmly protecting this place since the Byzantine Empire.
Inside the fortress, there are ruined Islamic mosques, churches used as water storage facilities, and houses.
It is said that before the fortress was built, the Apostle John sat on this hill and wrote the Gospel of John in the Bible.
Since it is in the middle of the town, it is easily accessible even if you don't go there, so I recommend visiting if you are traveling to Selcuk.
Situated on a high hill, the view of the town from here is beautiful, and it is a very cool place with the blue sky!

🇹🇷Turkish Selcuk Sirince Village Fairytale-like Beautiful Tourist Attraction Recommendation
The Turkish Sirince village was formed in the 15th century when Greek slaves living in Ephesus settled here after being liberated.
People called this village, where foreign slaves gathered and lived in hiding, Chirkinje: a dirty and stinking place.
Later, the name of the village was changed to Sirince, which means joy, but its painful history will not change.
However, from the perspective of a tourist, Sirince village felt like a small fairy tale village in a very peaceful and beautiful forest.
There are many shops selling souvenirs, so it is good for shopping and there are many things to see.
Sirince village is famous for its fruit wines, especially Oddi wine!
The price is not expensive and the alcohol content is not high, so it is light and delicious.
You can buy it after tasting various kinds, and it is good to buy it as a souvenir because it has the Sirince brand.
There is a dolmus from the Selcuk bus terminal to Sirince, so it is a good nearby travel destination for a light visit!

The best resort in Turkey, Antalya🇹🇷
I went to many places in Turkey, but Antalya was the best!
⠀
It was full of a leisurely atmosphere of a resort,
and it was even better because the security was good,,,
⠀
After seeing a review saying it was safer than Istanbul,
I took a tram with my mom at night and came out for a bit,
and bought a bear keychain that I saw during the day🧸
⠀
And!!! I saw a jacaranda!!!!!
I couldn't take a pretty picture 🥺
But I thought I would only see a jacaranda if I went to Australia💜
⠀
If I go to Turkey again, I definitely want to visit again
and go to all the pretty cafes and restaurants☺️

Turkey - Istanbul (1) (Kaymak, Galata Tower, Galata Bridge)
Turkey is definitely one of the best travel destinations.
Istanbul Part 1~~!
You must have Kaymak as your first meal in the morning.
Menemen as a side dish, haha.
There are many hills, so walking can be inconvenient,
but you have to walk to see Istanbul properly,
so I highly recommend wearing sneakers.
You can take pictures at Galata Tower and see many people fishing at Galata Bridge, haha.
The color of the Bosphorus Strait is really deep blue, haha.
Cappadocia Balloon: The Best Moment of Life
Even if you haven't seen a Cappadocia balloon yet, I highly recommend you to visit. You don't necessarily have to go on a tour; just watching the balloons others have launched is a moment of pure happiness. Since balloons won't fly if the weather is bad, it's quite a gamble to plan to see them on a specific day. I stayed for three days, waking up early each morning, but one day it rained, another was cloudy, and only on one day was the weather good. However, due to the off-season in November, there weren't many balloons. Nevertheless, the Cappadocia balloon has recorded the best moment of my life. I wonder how much prettier the balloons would be against the clear sky during the peak season?
Tokatli Canyon... Safranbolu Trekking..
If you want to see the special natural beauty in Safranbolu, you must visit Tokatli Canyon. The entrance fee for students is 15t, and the total cost is 20t. The canyon, which is about 9km long, has a peaceful atmosphere that makes you think a lot, with waterfalls, various plants, and rocks with strange shapes due to erosion. At the beginning of the canyon, there is the ince Kapl Aqueduct, which has architectural value and whose first construction date is controversial. The aqueduct, which is 116m long, is about 60m above the ground.
Safranbolu is a very good place for trekking, and if you like bending, it is the best trekking course in the region.
Sword Valley... Off-road bicycle trip.
Rent a bicycle in Goreme and embark on an off-road hiking adventure.
The name 'Swords Valley' is derived from the fairy chimneys that resemble long swords.
The valley, which attracts a lot of interest from tourists, has trekking courses and safaris. There are fairy chimneys of various shapes throughout the valley.
In areas where caves are densely packed, you can see old beehives and pigeon nests.
There are also off-road tours using ATVs nearby, and places where you can ride horses.
I personally do not recommend Cappadocia trekking in the summer, but if you go in a cooler season and just bring water and sunscreen, it is recommendable.
Uchisar...
Located not far from Goreme.
You can take a bus or a taxi.
The bus costs 10 lira per person, and the taxi costs about 40-60 lira if you go by the meter.
There are some sights to see on the way to Uchisar Castle, as well as many souvenir shops and delicious steak pizza places.
The inside of the castle has shade and is cool, so you can visit without feeling hot even during the daytime.
After visiting, come down to the main road and catch a passing taxi to go back to Goreme; it costs about 50 lira by meter, though it may vary depending on the location.
It's definitely a place worth visiting if you come to Goreme.
When you come down, if you take the alleyway instead of the way you went up, you'll find many cafes with great views... Having a drink doesn't cost much, so take a break with a juice while enjoying the view.
Pigeon Valley...Uchisar...
#EuropeTravel #PigeonVelley #Uchisar #Turkiye
Pigeon Valley
One of the most famous impressive valleys in Goreme during the Cappadocia tour.
It is located between Uchisar and Goreme..
There are many pigeons in the beautiful scenery, and you can view the valley from the devil's eye tree and feed the pigeons..
Usually, it is a short trip as part of a tour..If you are staying in Goreme, I recommend that you make a little more schedule and just walk to Uchisar for a day and do the Pigeon Valley trekking..However..It is too hot in summer, so pass...
Traditional markets centered around Konya.
"Türbeönü çarşıları" means "markets near the tomb" in Turkish. These are types of markets that can be seen in various cities of Turkey. Typically, these markets are located in the historical city centers of Turkey and are situated around landmarks or historical buildings.
These markets are places where traditional Turkish culture, handicrafts, clothing, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of other goods are sold, attracting both locals and tourists. They offer a place to experience the local history and culture, with a variety of shops and stores providing an interesting shopping experience.
In particular, try the Konya-style long Turkish pizza, pide. The cheese kebab is truly a work of art.
The Selimiye Mosque at the heart of Konya...
Located next to the Mevlana Museum.
Construction began in 1558 when Sultan Selim was ruling Konya and was completed in 1567.
It is one of the most beautiful examples of classical Ottoman architecture in Konya.
The atmosphere is similar to the Fatih Mosque in Istanbul.
The space covered by the central dome has been expanded with a half-dome on one side.
The mosque interior, which has a narthex with seven domes and two minarets, is decorated with fine pen work.
The museum area is quite spacious as it is a place to be visited together.
🇹🇷 Make Turkey's Luxury Outlet Mall More Luxurious.. "HAPPY MOON'S"
#EuropeanTravel #Turkiye #Outlet #Churros #Cappuccino
Turkiye Diyarbakir Luxury Outlet Mall..
I went to the outlet mall that said it would take me to a good place... ㅋㅋㅋ
There are many pretty cafes in the outlet mall that was built in the new city...
HAPPY MOON'S has not only Turkish Kabe (coffee), but also espresso and mocktail.
And even delicious brunch..
The menu is diverse and the drinks are diverse..
Cappuccino and churros go very well together...
The cinnamon scent of the churros..
The cappuccino with that cinnamon scent...
I admit it is a luxury cafe...
Now that I had delicious coffee and churros, let's go shopping...
If you visit Diyarbakir, be sure to stop by the outlet.
Shopping and eating out in Istanbul? Istiklal Street!
👩👩👧👧👨👨👦👦Istiklal Street
It's a bit like our country's Myeongdong?!
Istiklal Street, the best place for shopping
There are many delicious dessert shops on the main street
and there are delicious restaurants hidden in every corner of the alley,
so you can even have a delicious meal after shopping!
When I visited, there was a Turkish soccer game,
so it was hot with people's enthusiasm!
It's right next to Taksim Square,
so if you visit Istanbul, be sure to stop by!

If you want to see the Roman era, how about here?
Ephesus (Ephesus) with Roman ruins
From Selcuk Otogar, take a dolmus (12 lira one way).
It's good because it's close.
However, the dolmus departs only when someone is in it.
The earlier you go in the morning, the fewer tourists there are.
The Celsus Library is the most beautiful!
Admission fee 200 lira, take a picture and come back 💘

It seems like people from all over the world are gathered here
The most crowded place during my trip to Istanbul, with shopping, dining, cafes, and shops. It's also fun to watch people in a bustling area. It's nice to walk from Taksim Square to Galata Tower and see everything♥️
There's also a famous Kaymak store in Korea, and the prices are cheap, so I recommend you try it!
Be sure to take a picture with the red tram~

Kusadasi, a Turkish resort city
Kusadasi, which I stopped by without a plan in Selcuk,,
It was nice to be able to see the Mediterranean (Aegean) seaside.
There are many souvenir shops that I like on the way to the sea,
and there are many terrace bars and restaurants, so it's great to enjoy.
Drinking beer while looking at the sea and groaning🫰🏼
There was a Starbucks Turkish tumbler that wasn't in other areas, so I got it right away!
I liked it so much that I wanted to stay in Kusadasi next time. I regretted booking a place to stay in Selcuk,,
If you take a dolmushi from Selcuk Otogar, you'll arrive quickly!
It seems like it would be good to combine it with Selcuk Ephesus🙂
