"Hot Air Balloon Sunfamous scene! Proposed in Cappadocia (with exclusive seats)"

🌍 Why Türkiye? A magical land across Europe and Asia, here are: ✅ Cappadocia’s alien landscape + romantic hot air balloons ✅ Snow-white calcified terraces in Pamukkale ✅ Millennium Monuments of Istanbul and the Legend of Cat City ✅ Jelly Sea Paragliding by Fethiye Most importantly - electronic signature seconds out! Prices are cheaper than in Southeast Asia! --- ✈️ Itinerary (Counterclockwise Classic Loop) Day1-2 Istanbul ▪️ Must-do: Feeding the white pigeons under the dome of Hagia Sophia | Chasing the sunset in the Bosporus ▪️ Hidden play: Bharat Rainbow neighborhood film ins-style blockbuster, 10 lire per capita grilled fish sandwich Day 3-4 Cappadocia ▪️ Hot air balloon company selection secret: Butterfly > Royal > Other (cheap solution: free panoramic view from the summit observation deck) ▪️ Cave Hotel Recommendation: Sultan Cave Suites Terrace is great for photos! ⚠️ Lightning protection: Do not book early morning pick-up! Take your own taxi to save 2 hours of sleep Day5 Pamukkale ▪️ Best time: before 8am! When sunlight refracts the whole hillside looks like spilled milk ▪️ Careful outfit: bright-colored long dress + barefoot walking (remember to bring a waterproof bag) Day 6-7 Fethiye ▪️ Paragliding choose Reaction company! The instructor will help you take a 360° rotation to photograph the coastline ▪️ Island hopping must-have: bikini + sunscreen spray (boat bubble party super high) --- 💰 The key to saving money 1️⃣ Airfare: Check Russian/Turkish Airlines 3 months in advance, round trip 4k done 2️⃣ Transportation: Intercity Night Bus 80% cheaper than airplanes (Metro company seats can lie flat) 3️⃣ Dining: Avoid scenic restaurants! Go to the "Lokanta" bistro where locals line up --- 📸 Photo secrets • Kappa Carpet Shop Photo Remember to Bargain → Eventually 50 Lira/person • The town of Goreme uses a telephoto lens to take pictures of hot air balloons + fairy chimneys in the same frame • Go to Galata Tower at dusk and take backlit silhouettes in iPhone Portrait Mode 💡 Ultimate tip: Bring a VISA card + 200 euros for emergencies, the Turkish lira exchange rate fluctuates every day!
