You must go to Turkey once🎈✨Everyone must be familiar with romantic Türkiye, because of the song "I want to take you to romantic Türkiye~" which is sung all over the country ✈️Arrival in Goreme: During the Spring Festival, fly from Istanbul to Cappadocia, 20:05-21:25. Come out and find the shuttle bus (you can search for other posts from Cappadocia to Goreme, some bloggers have shared photos of the bus 📷), walk 20 meters out of the airport to get on the bus, 250 lira per person, it will take you to the hotel. After getting on the bus, the attendant will collect the hotel name and announce it when you arrive. But just in case, you can turn on the navigation and double confirm that you have arrived at the hotel before getting off the bus 🚗. 🏨Hotel: Royal Stone Houses in Goreme, cheap, standard hotel facilities, very comfortable to stay in😌. And Goreme is really good for taking photos, so I didn’t pursue taking photos of the terrace of the cave hotel📸. 🎈Hot air balloon: The above-mentioned hotel is also a hot air balloon company, so I made the reservation directly at the front desk and was given a 20 euro discount (the price is different at different times, mine was 110 euros during the Spring Festival, for a balloon with 16 people). Booked in the evening, meet at the hotel entrance the next morning. I have to give a thumbs up to this hotel. It is actually a hot air balloon transfer point, so you can see tourists from other hotels rushing here in the early morning. I feel like I can sleep a little longer than those staying in other hotels😜. P5-P6 are the beautiful views taken from above the hot air balloon on the second day🎇. 🌄Around the town of Goreme: There are many other towns around. Most tourists will sign up for the red line and green line tour groups. In fact, you can also hike around, navigate along the road or take the town bus🚶‍♂️. I hiked 3-5 km and checked in some valleys, such as Love Valley, Pigeon Valley, and also walked to Uchisar Castle, the ticket cost 320 TL. The prices in this town are lower than those in Goreme. You can eat here. I ate at a restaurant called Huzur. It was not a disappointment. The beef in a can tasted very good 😋. I took the bus back to Goreme. Navigation: Hanem Art Center. Diagonally opposite this location, there is a white bus (P7) with "goreme" written on the front of the bus 🚌. ☕️love garden: It is a really great old grandfather coffee shop. Just locate love garden. I walked up from the hotel (it would definitely be more convenient if you have a car) for about 30 minutes and arrived before sunrise. The hot air balloons will fly from the city to the canyon little by little (P1-P4 without filter), which is very beautiful 😍. Old grandfather coffee is 150 lira/pot. Maybe it was the off-season when I went there, and there were almost no tourists here. It was very photogenic 📷. 🌃Night view of the town: Located at sunrise point, you can also hike there, the whole town is not big. P8-P9 is the beautiful night view of the town🌙. 🚗Leaving town: You can take a plane or a bus. For the bus, it is recommended to go to the bus station to buy tickets one day in advance, or use their local software to order online. You can also book bus tickets on the same day, but there may be a situation where there are no tickets and you need to choose a ticket for a later time. Bus station navigation: Göreme Otobüs Terminali, there are many small windows corresponding to different bus companies. If you are flying, you can ask the hotel to help you reserve a vehicle, which is the shuttle bus when you arrive, which is also very convenient✈️.

Istanbul's Underground Palace generally refers to the Basilica Cistern. Here's some information about it: Overview - Construction Time and Purpose: Built in 542 AD during the Byzantine period, Emperor Justinian I employed 7,000 slaves to construct it on the ruins of a church. It is the largest underground cistern in Istanbul. Originally, it was a water reservoir to ensure the water supply for the palace and prevent enemy sieges, with a storage capacity of 100,000 tons. - Location: Located in Istanbul's Old City, near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. - Structure: The cistern is 140 meters long, 70 meters wide, and covers an area of approximately 9,800 square meters. 336 thick Corinthian columns, each 9 meters high, support the massive brick vaulted ceiling. Highlights - Medusa Heads: On one side of the cistern, two enormous stone columns are based on Medusa heads. One head faces down, while the other is sideways. The reason for their placement remains a mystery. - The Weeping Column: A column carved with peacock eyes and teardrops. It is said to commemorate the slaves who built the cistern. Some believe it's called the "Weeping Column" because small holes in the column seep water, like tears. - Columns and Vaults: 336 marble columns are arranged in 12 rows of 28 columns each. Most of these columns were recycled from earlier Roman structures, each with unique capital and base patterns. The reflection of the columns and vaults in the water creates a mystical and tranquil atmosphere. History - After its construction during the Byzantine period, it primarily supplied water to the palace and surrounding areas. During the Ottoman Empire, the cistern was abandoned. - In the mid-16th century, it was rediscovered by Dutch explorers, but it wasn't officially opened to the public until 1987. Cultural Significance - Artistic Value: As an outstanding example of Byzantine architecture, the Basilica Cistern blends Roman and Byzantine elements. The columns, vaults, and Medusa heads hold significant artistic value, showcasing the craftsmanship of ancient artisans. - Historical Value: It has witnessed Istanbul's historical transformations, from the Byzantine Empire to the Ottoman Empire and modern Türkiye. It serves as essential material evidence for studying Istanbul's history and cultural development. - Film and Television: Hollywood's "From Russia with Love," Jackie Chan's "The Accidental Spy," and "Inferno" were filmed here, further enhancing its global recognition.
