Turkey, Istanbul 🇹🇷🐈 1. Second photo 📍Galata Tower You can climb up this tower! However, taking photos from a distance gives a better view 👀✨. At night, there are fewer people, making it easier to take pictures 🤳. Also, the nearby cafes are always crowded, possibly because they are popular spots. Third photo 📍Basilica Cistern Simply breathtaking!! There was even a Medusa statue! The entrance fee is quite expensive 💰. On a rainy day, I was able to enter without a reservation and without waiting in line 😄. 4th and 5th photos feature mosques, so women should cover their hair and skin ⭐︎. 4th photo 📍Hagia Sophia A must-visit! The blend of Islamic and Christian elements felt truly unique and mysterious. 5th photo 📍Blue Mosque Visiting at night felt like stepping into Aladdin's world! The interior, with its white theme, was charming! Note that you cannot enter during prayer times (which occur five times a day). 6th photo 📍Maiden's Tower Legend has it that a princess was once locked up here 🥲. You can take photos while touring the Bosphorus Strait by boat! The tours are very affordable, so I highly recommend them ✨. I managed to join without prior reservations from Japan, though booking in advance might be better. 7th photo 🍚 Midye Dolma A dish made of stuffed mussels with rice inside! Squeeze some lemon on top before eating. It pairs well with beer 🍺! 8th photo 🐈 Cats are everywhere in the city! You’ll find them literally everywhere! 9th photo 📍Entrance to the Grand Bazaar The interior is like a maze, and you might get lost. If you make eye contact, vendors will try to persuade you 🥹. You don’t have to feel pressured to buy anything here! 10th photo 📍Bridge over the Bosphorus Strait People are fishing everywhere 🎣. There are shops underneath, but they are quite expensive 💰. 11th photo 📍Hafiz Mustafa This is a famous shop for Baklava, a traditional Turkish sweet made with flaky pastry. The pastry is crispy, and even for those who love sweets, it might be a bit too sweet! The price is on the higher side, but I highly recommend trying it here!!! I have more photos, but I’ll stop here for now 😉💭

The Galata Tower in Istanbul is a historic landmark and a popular tourist destination that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city! ✨ Depending on the time of day you visit, you can experience completely different cityscapes. Before reaching the observation deck at the top, you can also explore the history of the Galata Tower and enjoy a virtual game that lets you fly through the skies and view the old streets of Istanbul. The best time to visit is during the evening, as the sun sets, offering an exceptionally beautiful view! Opening Hours: Daily 8:30 AM – 11:00 PM • Last admission: Until 10:00 PM • Closed days: Open year-round (including holidays and weekends) General Admission Fee: €30 (or approximately 650 Turkish Lira) (as of May 2025)

📍Yeni Camii Yeni Mosque is located in the Eminonu district, at the foot of the Galata Bridge. It is not often featured in guidebooks or online information, but it has an outstanding presence, located right next to a large square past the Grand Bazaar and Egyptian Bazaar. This mosque is also the first thing you see when traveling by boat from Eminonu Port, so tourists will see it without even thinking about it. In the old town, there are the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, the two largest mosques in Istanbul, so it doesn't seem to attract much attention, but perhaps because of its location near the port, it is impressive to see the sea right behind the door. The interior has high ceilings and is very spacious. The beautiful design is based on the blue color that is representative of mosques. It may seem inferior if you see Hagia Sophia or the Blue Mosque, but I think it is the only mosque where you can experience the sea and sea breeze through the doors and the historically important terrain of Istanbul through the mosque. If you get a little tired of the crowds at the Grand Bazaar or Egyptian Bazaar, it might be a good idea to visit to find some healing☺️ The fact that admission to the mosque is free is a nice point for tourists. One way to enjoy Istanbul is to go around the mosques while being considerate of those who are praying. #overseastraveltrip #turkey #turkeytrip #istanbul #solotravel #solotravel #backpacker

📍Yeni Valide Mosque Mimar Sinan, 34664 Üsküdar/İstanbul This mosque, completed in the early 18th century during the reign of Sultan Ahmed III, was built for his mother, Gülnüş Sultan. This mosque, with its beautiful two minarets, is a historic mosque where locals living in Üsküdar on the Asian side of Istanbul gather for daily prayers. 🕌 When I visited, it was just prayer time, and the mosque had a truly sacred atmosphere with the adhan playing. I took a photo after the prayer. There were many Muslims visiting, who seemed more like locals than tourists. The interior in particular has a strong and clear design that is impressive compared to any other mosque in Istanbul, and personally, it is my favorite design, even surpassing the Blue Mosque. While many of the designs are based on blue, I was struck by this distinctive use of color 🫶 There are mosques within walking distance in Istanbul, and I think it's one of the fun parts of going around the city and finding a mosque that suits your taste 😊🇹🇷 Access 🚶♀️: A short walk from Uskudar Station Admission fee 💰: Free #overseastraveltrip #solotravel #solotrip #turkey #turkeytrip #istanbul

This time I will introduce the hotel I stayed at when I visited Cappadocia last time! The name is The Dome Cave by Travelers, and it is located about a 5-minute walk from Goreme National Park. ✨ I had the impression that hotels in Cappadocia were expensive, but when I looked around, I found many cheap ones! This was 10,000 yen for two nights for two people, so we were able to stay for two nights for just 5,000 yen per person! ! Actually, cave hotels are very famous in Cappadocia, but this is not a real cave hotel, so it is cheaper than others. ✨ A real cave hotel has no corners and has a curved interior, but this one had solid corners, so it was not a cave hotel. However, the atmosphere was just as I imagined a cave hotel to be, and it was cheap, the bath was clean, the access was quite good, and breakfast was included, so there were no problems. ✨ If you want to save money on tours in Cappadocia, you can find a cave-style hotel like this to save money! #Cappadocia #Hotel #Recommended #Turkey #TurkeyTrip #OverseasTripTrip

The historic district of the Old City of Istanbul, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, is home to Yerebatan Sarayi, the largest reservoir in Istanbul. The entrance fee is a little expensive at about 4,000 yen, but it is a historical building that is rarely seen, so I recommend you go. As you go down the stairs, it is very humid lol. It is said that this underground palace was built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century using 7,000 workers. It is hard to believe that it was built in the 6th century! There are several places with Medusa inside, and the patterns on the columns are different, so it is very fun to look at them 🇹🇷Opening hours: 9:00-17:30Access: 2 minutes walk from Tramvay Sultanahmet Station #Istanbul #Turkey #TurkeyTrip #IstanbulTourism #Spring0YenTrip

📍Izmir Tarihi Asansör Binası Turgut Reis, Şht. Nihatbey Cd. 76/A, 35000 Konak/İzmir, Türkiye Izmir is Turkey's third largest city and the largest port city along the Aegean Sea. It is also the gateway to the Ephesus ruins. As a port city, it is also known as a gourmet city, mainly for seafood. This spot in the Asansol area is where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the port city of Izmir. You can go up to the view spot. The elevator was built by Jews in 1907 and has a retro history. It connects Mithat Pasha to Halilfat Pasha Street, and was built to efficiently move between the two districts, as it was previously impossible to go between the two districts without climbing a long staircase. When you get off the elevator, there are stylish cafes with great views and small general stores here and there. The staircase art and murals are very modern. There were even cats hanging out at the general stores 🐈⬛ By the way, the elevator is free, and there is no admission fee for the observation deck, which is nice ☺️ 🚶It's about a 10-minute walk from Uçyol Station. You can also walk from the clock tower, which is the center of the old town, but it took about 30 minutes. #overseastraveltrip #turkeytrip #solotrip #solotrip #turkey #izmir

📍Grand Bazaar Kapalı Çarşı Beyazıt, 34126 Fatih/İstanbul, Turkey There are many tourist attractions in the old city of Istanbul, but if you are looking for souvenirs, the Grand Bazaar is the place to go. You can find everything here, from traditional sweets such as baklava and Turkish delight to clothing and other household goods. The shop with the colorful Turkish lamps is particularly eye-catching. If you think it will be difficult to carry your belongings home, we recommend Turkish tableware. They will carefully pack your items, so if you reinforce them with towels, you should be able to bring them back to Japan safely! The tea glasses were also very cute😍 I also thought that the small pot for brewing Turkish coffee would be stylish as an interior decoration. However, the site is so large and there are so many alleys that you will definitely get lost😂 Even if you get lost, there are cute miscellaneous goods one after another, so it's strange that it's still fun. lol And wherever you walk, there are people, people, people. So there's no loneliness. Trust your intuition and walk around! When you're tired of people, it's fun to take a break with a cup of chai sold on the roadside🫖 There are vendors walking around, so be brave and talk to them✨ In addition, within the Grand Bazaar, there is an exotic area called the Egyptian Bazaar, where you can find a lot of spices and teas that you've never seen in Japan. It was very exciting and interesting. The annoying thing about it is that there are a lot of touts, but let's enjoy it together☺️ #overseastraveltrip #istanbul #turkey #turkeytrip #solotrip #solotrip

📍Karakoy District Galata Tower Istanbul, Turkey, is a unique city divided into European and Asian sides by the Bosphorus Strait. The new city on the European side is the Karakoy district. The Galata Tower is in the center of the Karakoy district. It is a landmark building of Istanbul that can be seen from the old city across the Galata Bridge. The area around Galata Tower does not have the exotic atmosphere of Turkey, but rather a truly European cityscape, making it feel like you are strolling through a different country. There are also stylish cafes with terrace seats, and you can enjoy a cup of tea in style 🫖 Galata Tower is at the top of the hill, and the slope leading up to it is lined with many souvenir shops and is bustling with tourists. There are also many general stores, so it is perfect for a girls' trip and stroll ☺️ Of course, you can also climb to the top of Galata Tower by paying the entrance fee. When I went, I couldn't go up because they were making some adjustments, but I'm sure it's a great spot to get a panoramic view of Istanbul. 🚶 It's a 15-minute walk from the old town, Emily, across the Galata Bridge, and of course, it's also easily accessible from Karakoy wharf and the subway station. #overseastraveltrip #solotravel #istanbul #turkey #turkeytrip

📍SULTANAHMET CAMİİ This mosque is one of the historical buildings in the Historic Area of ​​Istanbul, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, and is one of the highlights of Istanbul along with Hagia Sophia. It is covered with blue tiles, and it is said to have been named this because of its splendor. Its distinctive feature is its six minarets. Normal mosques have four minarets, but only the Blue Mosque has six. When you actually go inside, you will be surprised at its size. You will also be fascinated by the delicate reliefs, Arabic letters, and beautiful stained glass. I tried to take a full view from the outside, but it was too big to do. The entrance fee to Hagia Sophia is a surprising 5,000 yen (as of 2024), but the Blue Mosque is free! You don't need a ticket, so you can enter quite easily. It's one of the mosques you should definitely visit in Istanbul☺️ #overseastraveltrip #turkeytrip #solotravel #solotrip #istanbul

📍Galata Bridge Kemankeş Karamustafa Paşa, Galata Köprüsü, 34425 Beyoğlu/İstanbul, Turkey Galata Bridge is a representative building that symbolizes Istanbul, connecting Eminonu Pier in the old city of Istanbul with Karakoy Pier in the new city. It is a spot that many tourists visit 🇹🇷 Of course, the view from the bridge is spectacular, but we must not forget the men fishing on the bridge. These men add a nice touch to this view. Everyone is fishing in a line. And when you look at the buckets, you can see that they have caught quite a few fish. I guess that's why everyone is fishing. What happens to this fish? Istanbul's specialty mackerel sandwich🐟 I've eaten at many food stalls around the world, but mackerel sandwiches are one of the top five gourmet foods🍽️ I ate it at a makeshift food stall-like place made of stacked styrofoam at the foot of the bridge, and it was a big hit. They grill it over charcoal right in front of you! At the end, they pour soy sauce over it, and the aroma of burnt soy sauce is irresistible for Japanese people🤤 The fatty mackerel and soy sauce flavor were the best🧡 It was 140TL in April 2024, which is the market price compared to other places. (Please check the latest information as prices are rising rapidly in Turkey⚠️) The one drawback is that when I went there thinking I'd eat it again, because it's a makeshift food stall, the food stall itself wasn't there😭 The next day, it was in a slightly more remote place. It's elusive, so you might be lucky if you find it! ? #overseas travel trip #backpacker #solo travel #istanbul #turkey #turkey trip

Many people think that the capital of Turkey is Istanbul, right? The capital is actually "Ankara", a city in the Anatolian region in central Turkey. There are direct flights from Japan, but compared to Istanbul, there are far fewer, so it's true that you rarely stop there. However, the transportation network in Turkey is overwhelmingly dominated by bus routes, and I think there are many opportunities to travel between tourist spots by long-distance night buses. Perhaps because Ankara is the capital, it is also a transit point, so many buses use Ankara as a hub. So this time, I'll introduce you to Ankara, which is often overshadowed by Istanbul, focusing on its cute old town and large mosques, which you can quickly visit even between bus stops. The old town is the very image of the Ottoman Empire era 🇹🇷 Souvenir shops and stylish cafes in buildings made of stone and brick. You can drink tea or Turkish coffee as easily as at a food stall 😋 More than anything, prices were about 20-30% cheaper than in Istanbul. There were a lot of locals, especially young people, rather than tourists, so it was very lively ✨ You can see the whole city of Ankara from the hilltop, and there are many benches to take a rest. Kocatepe Mosque is one of the largest mosques in Ankara and is a must-see if you come to Ankara 🕌 📍 Kocatepe Camii Kültür, Dr. Mediha Eldem Sk. No:67, 06420 Çankaya/Ankara, Turkey It's so big that it's hard to fit it all in a photo. Maybe because it wasn't prayer time, there was no one in the magnificent mosque, so I was able to look around carefully. The stained glass is so beautiful that I was mesmerized ☺️ It took about 4 hours to get here, including a break at a cafe. There are many other tourist spots, but if you go this far, you can easily explore the city by taking a bus without using up too much energy. 🚶♀️ #overseastraveltrip #turkeytrip #turkey #ankara #solotravel #backpacker

A hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia is a must-do on a trip to Turkey, isn't it? Of course, I recommend riding a hot air balloon, but I've heard that it's quite scary and worrying. So, I'll introduce you to a hot air balloon viewing spot that I actually went to, where even people with a fear of heights can enjoy Cappadocia. 📍Balloons Highest View point in Göreme (This is the location that appears on Google Maps) Address: İsali - Gaferli - Avcılar, 50180 Göreme/Nevşehir Merkez/Nevşehir, Turkey I wanted to get a good position, so I aimed to go around 5:30 in the morning 🚶♀️ As you can see in the third photo, it's still pitch black! There were already quite a few people waiting for the sunrise. There are some places with poor footing, so please watch your step ⚠️ Preparations for the launch of the balloons begin around 6 o'clock. As I was doing this, the sunrise came in the opposite direction to the balloons 🌄 Around 6:30, the balloons started to rise, and the view that I saw in the guidebook spread out before me. It was different from the view from above, and I was impressed by the view that seemed to blend in with the city and the balloons. The colorful balloons and the strange rock formations all at once made me feel like I was in Turkey! 🤩 It was a great sight to see the balloons passing directly overhead! It's an easy balloon viewing spot to get to in about 10 to 15 minutes from the city center. If you've been on a balloon! I hope you'll also experience a balloon ride from this spot! ! This is such a recommended spot 🧡 #overseastraveltrip #solotrip #solotrip #turkey #turkeytrip #turkeytrip #cappadocia

📍Urgup Cappadocia is famous for its hot air balloons, but the region is larger than you might imagine, and the city famous for hot air balloons is Göreme. Next to it is the ancient city of Urgup, with its old cobblestone streets and traditional stone houses. However, the standard plan is to stay in Göreme, get on a hot air balloon, and then return to Istanbul, so many people probably don't know much about other cities. Urgup, which can be reached by bus from Göreme, has a local feel and offers a different side to Göreme. I especially recommend Temenni Hill in the center. It's on a hill, and the view of the city from here makes it seem like time has stopped. 😌 Göreme is so crowded with tourists that it can be a bit unsettling, but you can spend a relaxing time here. The souvenir shops are lined up, and the staff are kind and friendly. There are lots of cute cafes, and the one I went to was a cafe with stone seats like a cave. The Wi-Fi was good and I think I could work there a lot. [Access] About 20 minutes by minibus from Goreme. Temenni Hill is about a 10-minute walk from the bus station in Urgup. It's a slope 🚶♀️ #overseastraveltrip #Cappadocia #Turkeytrip #Turkey #solotrip #solotravel #backpacker

📍Antique Terrace Suites Goreme Kasabasi, 50180 Nevşehir, Turkey When you think of Cappadocia, you think of hot air balloons! And the scenery with its unique buildings, such as mushroom rocks and houses carved into the rocks, is just like a game world🌏 There are several hotels in Cappadocia where you can stay in a house in a cave. The cave hotel I stayed at is called Antique Terrace Suites. The room is exactly inside a cave!! The atmosphere is a little dark👍 As the name suggests, there are antique furniture, and it feels like you've traveled back in time. In addition, the view from the rooftop overlooks the strange rocks and the Red Valley, so you can fully enjoy Cappadocia😊 There are no photos, but if you wake up early in the morning, you can see hot air balloons flying directly above you. The breakfast buffet is also so varied that you can't finish it all 🍽️ The shower room amenities are also cutely designed. If you're in Cappadocia, why not try staying at a cave hotel for just one night? ✨ 🚶5-10 minutes walk from the center of Cappadocia 💰1 room per night: 6-7000 yen If you're staying with two people, it's about 3000 yen per person ⚠️Prices in Turkey are rising rapidly at the moment, and hotel prices change daily, so please check the latest information. It's not uncommon for restaurants to be 500 yen different from yesterday to today. (I actually witnessed this during my 2-week stay) #accommodationtrip #solotrip #solotravel #turkey #turkeytrip #cappadocia #cavehotel

Pamukkale 🇹🇷 Turkey Pamukkale is located in the southwestern part of Turkey, and is a popular tourist spot for Japanese people as an area where hot springs gush out. These pure white travertines are formed by the ingredients contained in the hot springs. I'm sure I'm not the only Japanese person who gets excited when I hear the word "hot springs" ♨️ However, when I search for Pamukkale recently, I get results like "disappointing" and "don't go there," which is unfortunate. The reason is that, due to the recent development rush, Pamukkale's hot springs are currently drying up. As a result, the amount of hot water flowing into the travertines seems to be adjusted, and some areas do not have hot spring water, resulting in many desolate travertines without hot spring water. However, if you look for an area where hot spring water is coming out, you can still see beautiful travertines like this, so when I actually went there, I wasn't disappointed, and the pure white was so beautiful that it was almost dazzling. 🤩 Walking in shoes is prohibited in this area, so you walk on the travertines barefoot, but since it's hot spring water, it's warm and feels good ☺️ When the water flow is strong, it feels like a massage, and you'll want to stay in the foot bath forever. In Pamukkale, you can see not only the travertines, but also the ruins of Hierapolis. It's quite large, so if you're not interested, you can skip it, but for me who loves ruins, it was irresistible! [Access] The base is the city of Denizli. There is a train from Izmir, Turkey's second largest city, and buses are very convenient within Turkey, and long-distance buses also depart from Cappadocia, which is famous for its hot air balloons. From the Denizli bus terminal, take the shuttle bus to Karahayit. [Points] There are few hotels around Pamukkale, and there are no particular tourist attractions in Denizli, so it seems that a standard plan for travelers is to take an overnight bus from Cappadocia to Denizli early in the morning, sightsee at Pamukkale, and then move on to another city on the same day. If you're confident in your stamina, we recommend giving it a try. #overseastraveltrip #turkey #turkeytrip #pamukkale #worldheritage #solotravel #solotrip

When it comes to Turkey's famous mosques, the World Heritage Sites Hagia Sophia Mosque and Sultanahmet Mosque may be the most famous, but there are many more attractive mosques in Turkey. Among them, I would like to introduce a mosque with a beautiful blue color. Its name is Sokollu Mehmed Paca Camii (1571). It is located in the old town area where famous mosques are gathered, and it is about a 10-minute walk from Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet Mosque! However, the slope is too steep and it is in a fairly residential area, so use a map while it is still light so you don't get lost! There was no entrance fee and there were not many people, but don't forget to bring a scarf. The blue color was really beautiful. This mosque was built by an architect named Mimar Sinan, who was said to be the best in Turkish history, so I think history lovers will enjoy it even more♪ #Turkey #TurkeyTrip #Istanbul #IstanbulTrip #Mosque #OverseasTriptrip

Speaking of Turkey, it's the hot air balloons in Cappadocia 🇹🇷 that you should definitely see at least once in your life 🫶 The morning starts very early (get up at 4:30) and the shuttle bus arrives between 5:30 and 6:00 and heads to the breakfast venue. After eating breakfast there, we set off‼ ️*There are no restrooms after this, so you should use the restrooms here. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get to the hot air balloon location, depending on the location. The flight time depends on the plan, but it's about 45 minutes to 1 hour. When you land, you'll be given wine and sweets at the end and a certificate (^^) Then the bus will take you to your hotel, and you'll arrive at your hotel around 8:00 in the morning, so you can enjoy Cappadocia all day again. This hot air balloon is actually canceled even if the weather is good if the wind is strong. The cancellation rate is high especially during the winter season from December to February, so if you stay for 2 or 3 nights, you will have a higher chance of riding a hot air balloon! ——————————————————————————————#overseas travel trip #Turkey trip #Cappadocia #Cappadocia hot air balloon #great view spot

Hello 🌞 When you think of Turkey, many people think of hot air balloons in Cappadocia and Turkish cuisine, but I would like to give you a little introduction to how much it costs to travel to Turkey ✈️ When I bought a ticket to Istanbul from late February to March at this time a year ago, I was able to go for 63,000 yen round trip! The best season is from February to March, and you can go much cheaper than other seasons at this time ✈️ As of January 2025, you can go for about 76,000 yen from February to March (see Skyscanner). Also, Cappadocia, which you want to go as a set, is about 10,000 yen round trip! You have no choice but to go! ️ I would like to post more details about the hotel again, but even if you stay in a tourist spot, it's just a little over 10,000 yen per person for 5 nights. I was able to stay in Cappadocia for 2 nights for 5,000 yen per person! ️ Why not take this opportunity to go on a trip to Turkey? #Memories of 2024 #Cappadocia #Turkey #Istanbul #TurkeyTrip—————————————————————————————▪︎Tao/Current university student/Hobby is traveling abroad/Studying abroad in 3 countries: Canada, Philippines, and Dubai #Overseas travel trip #Turkey trip #Air ticket

Hello 🌞 I'm very happy that the article I posted about my trip to Turkey has received a much bigger response than I expected 🇹🇷 I received a lot of questions, and one of them was, "Can I go to both Istanbul and Cappadocia in one trip?" So I wrote an article about it this time. First of all, there are no direct flights from Japan to Cappadocia, so I think you will go to Cappadocia via Istanbul, so it is possible to go to both at the same time. When I visited last year, I took a relaxed schedule, so I spent a lot of time in Istanbul, but if you are mainly going to Cappadocia, you can transfer to a flight to Cappadocia from Istanbul, or you can stay in Istanbul for 3 nights and Cappadocia for 2 nights. As for Cappadocia, I was lucky to see hot air balloons, but it seems that the probability of them flying is low, so if you absolutely want to see hot air balloons, I recommend staying in Cappadocia for more than 3 nights! (I heard that the balloons didn't fly for about three days after the day I saw them, and my friend returned without seeing them 😿) Also, you can't ride the balloon on the day you move to Cappadocia, so you need to stay at least one night. However, there are only a few things you can do in Cappadocia other than the balloon, so many people join the Red Tour or Green Tour after the tour. With this tour, you can cover almost all the tourist sites in Cappadocia in one go, so if you set aside more time for the balloon ride, you might end up with nothing to do if you miss out on seeing everything... This is all about luck 🥹 Balloon tours vary depending on the season, but they cost from 15,000 to 50,000 yen. Green tours and red tours are around 8,000 to 10,000 yen. Balloon tours range from cheap to expensive, but if you go too cheap, you may fly quite far from the city center and there may only be a few balloons around, so it might be a good idea to carefully consider the price and reviews ✨———————————————————————————▪︎Tao/Current university student/Hobby is traveling abroad/Studying abroad in three countries: Canada, the Philippines, and Dubai#Overseas travel trip #Turkey #Istanbul #Turkey trip

The Blue Mosque is a palace of blue🩵. Tourists are not allowed inside during the five daily prayers. Wait a little while before going inside. Women need a scarf🧕, but you can rent a light blue scarf like Tiffany blue. It will be collected immediately. The stained glass was beautiful. If you come to Istanbul, you should go. It's a place of prayer, so it's free. #Istanbul #BlueMosque #TurkeyTrip #Istanbul #Trip #Travel #0YenTripJanuary2025

It's a mall like Lalaport in Istanbul. There's a Starbucks on the first floor, so it's a bit relaxing. There's a cinema like a cinema on the top floor, and they were showing Sonic. The shop Gratis, which sells cheap cosmetics, is cute. They have a wide selection of small snacks and lipsticks. It might be a good souvenir. The location is here. https://maps.app.goo.gl/nMsGAKjhL73m73Py6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy #Istanbul #TurkeyTrip #0YenTripJanuary2025

It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Istanbul to reach Cappadocia in Turkey🇹🇷. It's a place I've wanted to visit ever since I saw it on TBS's World Heritage Sites. The hot air balloons that you can see with the early morning sunrise were wonderful. The view of Pigeon Valley was also beautiful, and I'm glad I came! I thought. #travel #trip #travel #Turkey #TurkeyTrip #Cappadocia #overseastravel #overseastravellog #hotairballoon #travel #travelgram #turkey #girlstrip #Turkey🇹🇷 #tour #earlymorning #worldheritage #0yentripJanuary2025

When you think of Cappadocia, Turkey, hot air balloons come to mind, but there are many other recommended spots and activities! One of them is Galerie Ikman, located in the heart of Cappadocia! This is a carpet shop filled with colorful Turkish carpets, and it has recently become famous as a photo spot✌️✌️ The shop has an open ceiling, so it closes when it rains😂 When I visited during the day, it was closed due to rain, but when I passed by the shop at night, it was open! (So even if it's closed in the morning, there's a chance it might be open in the evening or at night!) We were told that it was going to rain soon, so we were the last ones for the day. We decided to take some photos! (It costs about 2000 yen per person! I didn't have Turkish Lira, but they kindly accepted Japanese yen! So kind!) For about 15000 yen, a photographer can take photos for you, and they can even use a drone for the shoot✌️ The exterior is also beautifully decorated with carpets, creating a lovely Turkish atmosphere💗
