Section 1186 Heavy Rain
I quickly ordered 4 cups to try the taste. This is also an excellent drink that many hikers highly recommend. It is 5 lira/cup, which is the size of a disposable plastic cup. Although it is a bit expensive, after watching the squeezing process, you will feel that it is still worth it. It is absolutely authentic and has no water or additive ingredients. Each cup of pomegranate juice costs 7 large pomegranates.
The taste was super good. While waiting for juice, a tornado suddenly blew in front of the dungeon ticket gate, which rolled the postcards at a postcard stall next to it and it was still amazing when I saw a tornado with my own eyes. After asking about my friend's physical strength, I decided to go to Erhera Gorge in the afternoon to take a stroll.
(The Ehragh Canyon was formerly called peristrema, and was one of the favorite meditative sites of monks during the Byzantine period, leaving behind many painted grotto churches. Hikers can walk along the melendizsuyu stream. The stream flows from the wide and shallow valley of selime to the narrow valley of Ehragh Village, a total of 16 kilometers.
Due to the prosperous grass and trees and the melodious sound of birds, it is unforgettable to wander by the stream in the beautiful valley.) This is when I drove to the village of ihlara, I passed by the canyon and glanced at the entire Ehlara Canyon, which was 185km long. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found a hotel in ihlara village to fill their stomachs first.
Then I followed the sign to find the buradasinizticketoffice, 10 lira per person, parking is free. After getting off the 6 valleys, I followed the melendizsuyu stream and walked along the canyon. The sun was very sunny and a little sunny. There were few tourists in the whole valley, so it was very comfortable to walk in the jungle. Unlike climbing, the canyon was basically flat.
So my friends don’t feel very tired, so they can find a big stone to sit down and rest at any time. There will be many monasteries and church marks along the way, usually placed in the rocks, and they need to climb a little higher. It took an hour and walked about 4km to reach a rest area. This should be an entrance and exit.
I saw some tourists from the tour group walking down the valley from the ground through a long plank road, while Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were at the bottom of the valley at this time. I guessed that it should be the starting point of the Green Line Day Tour Group's Ehraje Canyon hiking. The tour group should not go back, and the car could drive to the next exit to pick up people.
Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo face two options to continue walking. After 35km, go to the next exit belisirmaticeboxoffice to take a taxi back to the starting point of Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo, or return to pick up the car on the same road. But if this place where the bird does not shit is not a taxi, it will be troublesome if you can't find a taxi.
After a while of struggle, I decided to return the same way, but chose to walk on the other side of the stream, but I walked into a dead end. When Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo were about to approach the starting point, I found that the road was very difficult, and some places needed to climb with hands and feet and land, which was a bit difficult for my friends.
Just as Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo were trapped in a pile of rocks, a handsome guy fell from the sky and appeared behind him. He told Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo that a few days ago, the huge rocks rolled down above blocked the road, and there was no bridge nearby. Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo had to flow water to cross the stream.
Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo were stunned when he looked at the turbulent streams and the wide riverside beside him. He led Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo to the narrowest place. He told Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo to take off their shoes and socks and slowly walked to the other side. Seeing that Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo still had a confused and hesitant expression on his face.
He took the initiative to demonstrate. He took off his shoes and socks and threw them to the other side, then grabbed Yun Luo's mother with one hand and grabbed Yun Luo with the other, and slowly walked into the stream. The water surface was not very deep, reaching his knees, but the stream was very fast. There were stones and moss at the bottom of the water, so he could only move slowly step by step, if it weren't for him.
Yunluo couldn't imagine how to send his friends across the shore. This was definitely an unforgettable experience. This handsome guy was actually a local herder, and his flock was eating grass in the canyon. Thank him again! I saw a yellow caravan station near Avanos on lonelypla.
You can enjoy the rotational dervish ceremony (ony) which was originally a place where merchants in the 13th century stopped to rest. Later, it was renovated and preserved quite well. Some guides said that watching the rotational dance performance was 30 euros. Including dinner, I asked the hotel owner to call the hotel owner to consult a day in advance.
The price is 30 euros, but there is no dinner. I found that there is no dinner there when I went there. I really don’t know where the dinners on the guide came from? The boss’s wife helped to make an appointment at 18 o’clock, and there was a discount to pay cash of 25 euros per person. The drive from ihlara to sarihan is nearly 100km.
I hurriedly appeared at the inn on time, and walked into the venue with a very sacred feeling. I suddenly remembered the scene in an American TV series "The Harem" many years ago in which Sultan used a rotating dervish ceremony to make a decision. Perhaps because of the relatively biased location of Sarihan, there are not many tourists here.
The audience seats were only less than 1/3. You can’t take photos during the ceremony. There will be a performance after the ceremony. At this time, everyone is allowed to take photos in a concentrated manner. The whole ceremony is a bit slow, and the rhythm is always repeated and rotated slowly. Maybe it’s too tiring. I almost fell asleep when I saw it behind.
After returning to the hotel, the photographer Director Chen carried a tripod to take pictures of the night view of Cappadocia. Nalan Seqi and Yun Luoshu did not go down the mountain to have supper. They found the instant noodles and radish heads he brought, and they were satisfied with eating. As always, they got up early and arrived at sunsetpoint at around 6 o'clock, which is considered a viewing spot in Cappadocia.
It is also an excellent place to look around the 360-degree panoramic view. I vaguely see a few hot air balloons lying in the valley, which indicates that there will be a gorgeous visual feast today at 6:45. The first wave of balloons rises, just like waiting for boiling water to boil, bubbles to jump to the water surface, and the hot air balloons rush into the sky.
Originally, I just saw hot air balloons nearby. Slowly, countless heaters exposed their heads from behind the hills until the entire sky was covered with colorful balloons. The scene could only be described as shock. Today's weather is also particularly bright, with the sun shining in the valley and on the balloons. It is golden.
There were a few hot air balloons flying low, and they were within reach when they flew over Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo's heads. Many naughty young people tried to jump to the basket, and the people on them also waved to Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo to say hello. This interaction was very interesting and they were both inexplicably excited. Sunsetpoint's original picture, Xicapadocia Yunluo had no regrets.
I went to the hotel until 7:50. I checked out after breakfast and checked out. I prepared to start the beach vacation week of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Cappadocia went south to the Mediterranean. Many seniors chose to take night buses to save accommodation and travel time, but I missed the most beautiful road in Turkey, from inland to coastal areas.
The vegetation on the mountains on both sides of the way will have very obvious changes. Turkey's highway design is very good, not because of how spacious and flat the road is. Turkey rarely has boring winding roads, but more of it is a undulating road that crosses plains, rolling and tumultuous roads, with continuous hills in the distance and wide views on both sides.
I always feel like I am driving in a painting. And the picture is not just in front of me, but 360 degrees in all directions. Sometimes the car will rush up to a towering ramp and then dive all the way, which is like driving a roller coaster. At noon, I came to the famous city of Kongya Konya and originally wanted to watch Zhenzong's spinning dance.
Stayed in Kongya for one night, but that day was not a Saturday, so he gave up. The driver, Director Chen, adheres to the principle of not missing the passing by. He drove into the city for a short tour. (Kongya is one of the oldest cities in Turkey. It was once the capital of Seljuk in the 12th and 13th centuries. It is the traditional religious and cultural center of Türkiye.
In that era when culture, politics and religion were developed, Mevlanacelaleddin-rumi founded the Sufi Order, known in the West for the prayer of spiral dance. The Mausoleum of Mevlanacelaleddin-rumi used bright green tiles.
It is the most famous building of Conya. The mausoleum displays the works of Meurana and the arts and crafts related to the church. A grand spiral dance prayer ceremony is held every year in early December. All the dancers are men, wearing white clothes, and constantly spinning like clockwork tops, leading the viewers to a mysterious world.
It seems to be listening to God's call.) I went to the more famous alaeddinkeykubadcami (Aladdin Mosque). It was Friday, the day of the Lord. Muslims gathered at the mosque to carry out "gatherings". The mosques are generally not open to non-Muslims in the morning, so women should not even think about entering.
Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo were particularly eye-catching in the square in front of the mosque. Someone came to chat with him and told Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo that he would wait until 1 pm to go in. However, he saw Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo bringing photography equipment and invited male compatriots to go in with him. The photographer Director Chen was very excited and took a lot of good films.
Lunch was solved at a small kabab shop across the street from the mosque. Coke passed the chicken roll, which was very satisfying. One chicken roll was only 2 liras, which was incredibly cheap. Parking in the center of Kongya was not very convenient, so I found a parking space managed by someone on the side of the road, which seemed to be 2 liras per hour.
However, when Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo picked up the car, the administrator seemed to be not nearby. Well, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo left. Kong Ya was nearly 3 hours away from Xidai. The long-awaited Mediterranean Sea is slowly approaching Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo. I was inexplicably excited, and I chose to stay in Xidai for one night.
It was because I saw someone recommending the Temple of Sidai Apollo to watch the sunset, but when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were on the way to cross mountains and ridges and rushing to the sea, they encountered a heavy rain, and even hail. Large areas of dark clouds were always hovering above their heads, and the plan to watch the sunset was destined to be blew away.
(Sidai was an important trade center in the past, but now it has become one of the most famous tourist attractions in Turkey. Paleogeologist Strabon believes that Sidai was founded in the 7th century BC and was a trading colony in the city of Kyme near Izmir in the Aegean region. In the local language, "side" (Sidai) means "pomegranate".
It is a fruit that symbolizes wealth and abundance.) Check in at the delphinaparthotel, a family hotel that I booked in advance. It has two bedrooms and one living room with kitchen suite. It is 31 euros (excluding breakfast). It is not the first row by the sea. You can only see the sea from the cracks. It is only 2 minutes walk. Free parking at the door, and the house has been decorated for a while.
The room, living room, and bathroom are large enough. The kitchen is equipped with complete facilities, but Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo just cooked breakfast by themselves. The wifi signal is not very strong. Because I consider having a car, I didn’t book a hotel. Later I found that I could walk directly to the Temple of Apollo and Athena along the beach.
It is very convenient to spread it after dinner. It is a bit cold to play in this season, and the entire beach is densely packed with lounge chairs and parasols. You can imagine the spectacular scene here when summer comes. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked casually along the beach, and all of them were European and American tourists.
Moreover, many of them are elderly people coming to vacation with their families. On the beach, one restaurant after another with a very well-decorated place, lined up, listening to the waves, watching the sunset, praising red wine, and gnawing on steaks, and facing the beauty. Before they knew it, they walked to the Temple of Apollo and Temple of Athena.
Both temples were built in the 2nd century AD. There are 11 columns on both sides of the temple, and 6 columns on the front and rear sides. The stone pillars of the Apollo Temple are Sidai's business card. The stone pillars of the Apollo Temple, which have been rebuilt, are one of the most photographed tourist attractions in Turkey and one of the most romantic historical sites.
(Anatolian myth says one day, the god taurus took her youngest daughter, nature, with the goddess of wealth, Sidai and nymphe (the fairy of water) to pick flowers and make garlands of flowers in the river of manauwa (Manavgat). Sidai and the fairies happily picked flowers and danced, and suddenly Sidai saw a tree.
The branches of the tree are very thin, the leaves are shining, and colorful flowers are blooming on the tree. Xidai broke down a branch and wanted to give it to her little daughter. After the branches were broken, the tree began to bleed. Xidai realized that this was not a tree, it was an elf who turned into a tree to escape from the evil claws.
Xidai was both guilty and scared. She wanted to leave quickly, but she couldn't leave. She was entangled with something. Her feet were buried in the soil, and her body turned into a tree. The fairy door was very sad. They began to cry, and their tears poured on the roots of Xidai's newly grown tree.
Xidai said that this was her own mistake, and then asked the fairies to bring a message to her youngest daughter: From now on, Yunluo will bear fruit. Yunluo will become a symbol of nature, life and prosperity. Yunluo hopes that you can often bring Yunluo's daughter to the shade of Yunluo's trees to play. Tell her not to pick flowers or harm the trees.
Because every tree may be an elf. This is why pomegranate trees are everywhere on the Sidai Peninsula.) I found a restaurant by the sea tonight for a steak meal. The owner seemed to be the former Yugoslav. He fled to Turkey after the war. Historically, Yugoslavia was from the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
The Serbian Kingdom established by the Serbian people was based on the two Balkan wars and World War I, and defeated the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the surrounding small countries, and annexed the settlements of weak ethnic groups that originally belonged to the two empires. It can be regarded as a lineage.
I didn’t have much research on Western food, and I was confused about the menu. Anyway, I just wanted a steak. As a result, Yunluo chose a minced beef roll, which was so strange! I solved the breakfast myself in the kitchen. The staple food was instant noodles and biscuits, the side dishes were radish head meat floss, and coffee. I breaded and barbecued pork every day in Türkiye.
Suddenly, a bowl of steaming instant noodles will definitely attract your taste buds. The carrot head is a precious ingredient for everyone to compete for food. There are several historical sites worth visiting between Sidai and Antalya. The most famous Aspendos Theater aspendos is under overhaul during this period and is suspended from opening to the public. It is a bit regrettable.
So I chose another thousand-year-old city, Perge, with a ticket of 20 lira per person, and a parking lot at the entrance is free (Perge is the famous Greek and Roman ancient ruins. Its architecture has experienced three important periods in history: Greece, Roman, Christian civilization in the 5th and 6th centuries. The Greek-style city gate is a witness to the Greek era.
In the Roman era, Romanesque buildings such as sports fields, baths, theaters, and markets were added. In the subsequent Christian civilization era, many church buildings were left behind in Perge. When entering the ruins, the first thing you see is the Roman gate left over from the Roman era. When entering the Roman gate, the first thing you see is the Greek gate.
Two partially collapsed round tower gates. The tower gate was built in the 3rd century BC. The tower is about 4 floors high and has windows on the third floor. Behind the tower gate is an oval courtyard, with 6 shrines designed on both sides of the courtyard. In the early 2nd century of the park, artist Planchiamana was responsible for designing the courtyard.
She was the daughter of the Governor of Bitinia. She added a shrine at each end of the courtyard, putting statues of mythical figures and city builders, and heightening the shrine one floor. Next, she built a three-arched two-story building behind the courtyard, named "Gate of Victory" and dedicated it to Hadrian.
Entering from the Roman gate, not far from the left is a collapsed fountain pool. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
