How to go to Kars with the Eastern Express?
A more detailed version of my article published in Hürriyet Seyahat
Everything started a few years ago. Going to Kars with the Eastern Express, seeing Lake Çıldır, Ani ruins, İshak Pasha Palace, but traveling with the Eastern Express. Since no one wanted to go on this journey with me, I finally decided to go it alone this year.. The most popular travel in the rail groups at the moment is the journey to Kars with the eastern express.. They usually travel in bunks.. Even if you are alone, you will definitely come across a group.

How to Find Tickets on the Eastern Express?
Update : Everyone is crazy about how to find a ticket to the Orient Express.. The tickets are already full as soon as they come out.. I am copying the answer from Cimer here:
Between 04 June – 20 July 2018 TCDD TAŞIMACILIK A.Ş.. It has been announced on the official WEB site that the requests for the new season have begun to be collected.. All incoming requests (such as agencies, groups, associations, foundations, etc.) were taken into consideration and wagon allocations were announced on 17 August 2018 by sharing the wagons equally.. Therefore, special wagon allocation has been made to include all groups, not just tour companies.
So you cannot find tickets for this reason.. Tickets have already been sold in August. Start looking when the date you plan to go approaches. You can catch the ticket from last minute cancellations.. Lots of last minute cancellations. I say wait, your bag is ready.. You must buy the ticket you caught within 10 minutes.. The system unblocks and resells within ten minutes.. I think the moment you catch the ticket, “Shall we go? What should we do? Is the date right for you? don’t call someone. Get direct. You don’t do much damage when you cancel.. It is not possible to cancel, but if you do not, you can open a post in the interrailturkiye or karsrail facebook groups and transfer it to someone else.2019
Last year from the mobile application or the website It was very easy to find tickets, but with the explosion of the Eastern Express this year, even those living in Kars cannot find tickets.. It was thought that the tour companies closed the tickets months ago and the ticket shortage was caused by this, and the problem was partially solved with a campaign run by the Interrail social networking platform.. Tickets are now available, but there is still a problem with beds and bunks.. Tickets are on sale a month in advance and looking early sometimes helps in catching tickets. It is also useful to look at the facebook account of Karsrail, which is the sub-branch of Interrail Turkey.. There are those who want to transfer their ticket.
Transport to the Eastern Express
After arriving from Istanbul to Ankara by plane and two I am at the station in Ankara after visiting Ankara for the day.. First, I entered the tourist information office at the station.. they were very helpful. A must visit place.
Update: East Express departs from Ankara station now. You don’t have to make any transfers. 2019
As there are Başkentray works at Ankara station, the eastern express departs from Irmak. It’s like that until December 2017.. There are buses that take you to the river.. This is included in the train ticket price. The train does not leave until you arrive. You even have plenty of time to take pictures.. There is a grocery store when you cross the overpass at the station.. You can make up for your shortcomings there.
How is the environment on the train?
If you have a container, you can fill water from the fountain. If you are a coffee tea lover, an electric kettle will come in handy.. There are two sockets but for some reason they are almost mounted on the ceiling.. The multi-plug with extension cable is very useful.
We were very crowded with the people we met there from the interrail group.. Train windows cannot be opened as before. Only a small section can be opened at the top for ventilation.. Toilets always have toilet paper and toilet seat covers.. There’s even hot water if the water doesn’t freeze. Long press the button and wait, if it’s not frozen, the water is definitely flowing.. It even runs hot.
One of the last two wagons is in the form of a bunk bed and the rest is in the form of a pullman.. A person can travel for 61 TL in a bunkhouse.. This is Ankara Kars fare. Intermediate stops have different prices. If you buy 2 people with a bed, it is 96 TL per person.. Women and men can sit together in the bunk, but when it’s time to sleep at night, they separate the men and women.. If you are going as a couple, you will prefer the bedded one or you will cover the entire bunk.
The train is quite hot. It will be useful to take something summer with you.. They give you sheets, pillows and piques in closed bags.. Ironed and clean. You prepare your bed in the bunk bed, but the staff prepares it in the bed.. I traveled in couchette.
You enter from one of the sights along the way and exit from the other.. Internet and phone not working in most places along the way. Since you will spend 25 hours on the train, you can bring books, games, etc. and listen to music.. Although, there was no time for much other than meeting new people and chatting, diving into the sights, and I never understood how the time passed.. The staff is friendly and helpful.
There is a small restaurant where you can have breakfast and eat. There may be handicaps such as is there food left, etc.. For this reason, take something to eat with you.. Breakfast 10, dinner 15, tea 2 TL. The compartment attendant knows where you will land and wakes you up.. Peace of mind.
In Erzurum, which has become a classic after reading it on the internet, you can follow the ritual of asking for cağ kebab on the train. we fulfill. I don’t think it’s necessary.. What I ate on the spot was much tastier and warmer.
We arrived in Kars at the appointed time.. Zero delay. I am greeted as my teacher in the market where I go to ask for the address to reach my accommodation.. Don’t insist that I’m not a teacher for nothing, like me.. They call those who come from outside the region as my teacher.. After my sisters, aunts and uncles in Antalya, I immediately get used to the teachers of this place.. Which way will I go, teacher?
Where did I stay in Kars?
I booked my accommodation on couchrail. Couchrail is a facebook group. Awesome young college girls. They even cooked. We have a snack and throw ourselves on the streets of Kars. They let me stay for four days in their house where I came for two days and they make me sleep in their sheep.. It is impossible to forget. I had the most fun with them, I laughed.
Although it is not easy to travel in the -25s, my dance on the ice in the wide one-way streets dominated by Russian architecture is worth seeing. . As soon as I arrive, I visit Kars castle, cafes and Russian buildings.. The view of the city from the castle is very beautiful, bright. The cafe is also very nice.
Çıldır Lake, Ani Ruins
The next day we decide to rent a car with people I met on the train.. Because there is no public transport to go to Çıldır and it is far away.. (Update: The municipality put a minibus in Çıldır lake in 2018 and its price was 10 liras.). Latest information is in this direction)
Update: There is now access to Ani Ruins. Since Kars is very popular now, there are information that the cars with the driver go as if they are full, but they want more money.. You can use the minibuses now.2019
There is a minibus to Ani, but it only goes as far as the village and does not return in the evening.. The most sensible thing to do is to rent a car.. When we filled the car with 5 people, we had a comfortable tour of Çıldır and Ani for 40 liras with the car rental and fuel.. This is how the information was until last year. This year, transportation has been provided for the Ani Ruins.2018
Çıldır lake is completely frozen.. The deep blue sky, the majestic rise of the Allahuekber mountains in front, a vast white plain. I throw myself into the snow on the lake. You can’t get enough of looking.
If you want to watch the fishermen’s fishing, you need to inform in advance.. In the distance we can see the fishermen on the lake. I still regret not going with them. Atalay brother has a small restaurant by the lake.. There is no alternative anyway.
You can eat the yellow fish of the lake. 20 liras. I can’t say that I like it very much, but I think everyone should try it for themselves. It comes when you call it in sleighs. When you go on weekdays, they are gone, but on the weekend they are all there.
Eating our fish, warming up and moving to Ani Ruins. There’s quite a bit of space between the two and the day gets dark early.. Ani Ruins entrance 8 lira. It is scattered over a wide area.. There is Armenia before us.
Ani is the archaeological site located on the Arpaçay length, southeast of Kars. It was the capital of Armenian rulers from the Pakraduni Dynasty between 961 and 1045.
It was built in such a place as in the Ihlara valley. there is a canyon. Buildings rising right on the edge of cliffs. We’re staring down the abyss. We enter one and exit the other.. A stream runs below. The historical bridge above it was destroyed, and it was the most important bridge of the Silk Road.
The Ani Ruins are being destroyed day by day from the dynamite exploded in the mine on the Armenian border.. They say they did it on purpose. Our staff takes care of the rest under the name of restoration.
Ankara Castle, like the ruins of Ephesus, has worn out historical monuments. they cover it with something looking. I’m taking hundreds of photos. As soon as the sun is gone, the air hits the bottom of the minuses. Our hair and eyelashes are freezing, the phones are shutting down.
Skiing in Sarıkamış
The next day, we said we would not go to Sarıkamış and not ski. We went skiing with a friend I met on the train.. The tracks of Sarıkamış are very beautiful.. There are tracks for skiers of all classes.
If you have clothes like me, you only pay 30 TL for skiing and 25 TL for 5 straps for a chairlift.. For unlimited, you can pay 30 TL and enjoy the scenery, take pictures and ski.. I don’t know if it was a weekday, I didn’t wait in line for the chairlift, nor did I struggle with the crowds.. It was very enjoyable.
How did I reach İshak Paşa Palace?
One of my main goals is to go to İshakpaşa Palace.. I am left alone in the group that is decreasing gradually, but in spite of those who say that you cannot go all day, I set out in the morning.. From here on, it should be read more carefully because I couldn’t find out what I did to go from Kars to İshakpaşa.. I had to experience it myself.
Take the bus to Iğdır first with Serhat Iğdır I’m going to. 20 liras. Since I don’t know that there is a bus at 8 o’clock, I miss it in half an hour and take the one at 10.. You catch up with 8 and travel comfortably. The windows are freezing from the inside. It is not possible to warm up the vehicle. We are officially crying because of the cold, the whole bus.
When we say it’s just hot, we coincide with the gendarmerie call.. We are constantly sought after after this journey. We pass through security points. Iğdır takes 2.5 hours. The minibuses take off to Doğubeyazıt from where you landed immediately.. 10 liras. I’m running riding. Dollar moves as soon as it’s full. It’s cold and cloudy since I set off.
We pass through the fog on the way and then we reach a bright sun. I’m freezing this time I’m starting to burn. Gendarmerie zone when the most intense search enters Doğubeyazıt. I’m in Doğubeyazıt a little over an hour later and bingo. The minibuses, which are said to depart from the municipality written on the internet, are not available due to winter.. The minibus driver takes me to the taxi stand, but I walk to the municipality to see it with my own eyes, not because they ask for a very high price, but to see it with my own eyes.. I suggest you try to dress more casually.. Of course, there is no minibus in the municipality, but there is a taxi rank right away.. The first person I spoke to said 20 lira.. If they wait, they want 30 TL.. We agree on 20 TL and leave right away because I don’t have time.. I have to catch the last bus back to Kars.
I’ll be back by train the next day.. İshakpaşa palace is 5km from Doğubeyazıt. I didn’t expect it to be that close. You can see it when you turn the corner and go a little further.. On the other hand, Mount Ararat. We’re going upstairs.
Ishakpasa Palace
It’s a secret that you can’t help but say who lived here at the time, with its unbelievable beauty, dazzling with its embroideries. a paradise. It took 99 years to build. Officially a century. The first building with a central heating system in history and one of the last buildings of the Ottoman Empire.
My taxi driver comes with me and takes my photos.. Everything is sped up. As I speak, I learn that my taxi driver is actually a ski instructor and mountain guide.. He knows my mountaineer friends. The world is small.
Here too, I take hundreds of photos and have a snack while I’m getting ready to take the minibus to Iğdır, and I’m surprised.. They said the last bus was at 5, but it was at 4 and it was 3.30.. I’m running to the minibus. By the way, I manage to drink two spoons of soup.. For sure. It was delicious.
The driver of the minibus is driving me to the bus through the fog, before the wheels touch the ground.. The bus is waiting for me. He meets the minibus and picks me up midway.. I’m going back and forth on the same roads. It’s a very long and tiring day, but I’m very happy.
Food and Drink in Kars
Evening is my last day in the city. I tried local dishes for days.. There are many beautiful restaurants, but Hanımeli restaurant stands out with its unique flavors.. Kars means goose. 60 lira everywhere. I have the chance to drink the different flavors of Dilek sister, the basil she learned from her grandmother.

The original of the yellow bride ballad sung by her husband accompanied by the accordion. I listen to your situation and wipe the rust from my ears, I’m getting tired. Maybe the prices are a bit higher than normal, but I think it’s worth it with the different ambiance.
I get on the train at 8 am and go back to the road. My new companions in Kunett are chirpy university students.. How did the time pass? I’m coming back with good music, nice conversations, amazing views. Is there a sadness in me? Did I love it? Then I must make this journey again in the spring. Maybe we can do it together.

Greece‘s greenest island Lesbos owes its green nature to water resources. Lesbos, the third largest island of the country, has lush forests, water springs, tiny canyons, endemic plants and incredible mountain views.
The island’s second largest city, Plomari, is and places that manage to stay away from the negative effects of urbanization due to its geographical location.. When you say the second largest city of the island, Plomari is not a city-like place.. The size that we can call the largest town or seaside resort in Turkey.. With its scattering mountain villages, the population of 7 thousand finds it difficult.
Plomari Square
With its pristine beaches, historical wooden houses, small taverns, plane and olive trees, coffee houses and views, Plomari journey is one of the best options to get away from it all.. No matter how crowded and active the center of Lesbos is, Plomari experiences the opposite.
The birthplace of Barbaros
As Captain-i Derya, the first captain of the Ottoman Empire Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha, who was the pasha and the great admiral, was born in Plomari in 1473.. Although there is no trace of Barbaros in Plomari, this name is very important for the history of the seafaring town.
Akrasi, Ampeliko, Megalohori, Neohori, Paleohori, which is known as Plomaritohoria on the south coast of Lesbos The town, consisting of the villages of Plagia, Trigonas, has a strategic location.. Dominating Chios in Greece and Karaburun in Izmir, the town has a deep-rooted trade tradition.
Beautiful photos can be taken in the side streets of Plomari
The place where ouzo and olive oil soap were first produced
strong>
Within the Greek islands, 19. Turning into one of the most important centers of industry, commerce, production and maritime trade in the mid-century, Plomari is also the place where the Greek national drink ouzo was first produced.. Today, just like raki, the quality of ouzo is measured by the water used.. Since Plomari has the best quality drinking water sources in the geography of Greece, the aroma it adds to ouzo is noticed everywhere.. There is no production today, except for a few ouzo workshops.. Plomari, with its beaches and cultural tourism, is a region where European, American and Turkish tourists spend more time in high season.. Since it is not very well known, the region, which is not crowded and uncomplicated, is ideal for those who want to relax and have a peaceful holiday. Ouzo, which he throws, is consumed in a similar way in coffee houses today.. Drinks thrown together while playing backgammon or chatting with friends accompany the pleasant conversation.. Unlike Turkey, the coffeehouse culture in Greece also includes the offering of liquor.
ouzos produced in Plomari
Because of the ouzo production, it is between Lesbos and Plomari. there is serious competition. What makes the cute town one step ahead of this competition is the quality water source and the qualified anise grown in the region with aromatic plants.. It is possible to count Pitsiladi, Yannaçi, Varvayani and Plomari/Isidoro Arvaniti among the ouzos that have become brands in the town.
Things to do in Plomari
The so-called ‘old town’ in the center of the town, which is one of the oldest settlements on the island, is where you can witness typical Greek architecture.. Two-story, bay window, mostly wooden houses line the narrow streets.. It is essential to enjoy walking among the historical houses on quiet and calm streets without traffic noise and to breathe the atmosphere of the town.
There are many shops, shops and coffee houses around the big plane tree in the city square.. After wandering the streets, it is quite enjoyable to relax, have a drink and chat with the local people.
The beaches, each carrying the blue flag, which are chirpy in the summer season, are an unforgettable experience for those who love sea, sand and sun holidays.. Agios Isidoros Beach is shown among the few beaches not only in the region but also in Greece.
Oceanis Cafe
Make sure to try frappe, one of the cold drinks consumed by the Greeks.. Iced coffee, which is prepared by adding milk and sugar according to preference, is available in cafes and coffee houses in every corner of the town.. One of my suggestions is the Oceanis Cafe, where we sit to drink frappe with its stylish design.. Souffle is around 3€, waffle is around 4€, frappe is around 2€, Turkish (Greek) coffee is around 1.5€.. When you sit in all restaurants and cafes, a large glass of water is offered free of charge.. Get immersed in life by sitting in the cafes that stretch towards the beach and the port.
There are 3 different museums in the town that appeal to enthusiasts. Varvayianni Ouzo Museum, Lomari Isidoros Arvanitis Ouzo Museum and Soap Museum are must-sees to see the most important production tools for this town.. The hospitality and warm welcome at the museums make people happy.
Where to stay in Plomari
There are nearly 25 accommodation options in the charming town.. Among these places that can be preferred according to the budget and accommodation concept, there is also a hostel, a luxury studio.. So before you go, decide exactly what kind of place you want to stay.. I stayed at Frini Studios on my trip to Plomari. There is a special 10 percent discount for Keşfetsek at the property that got full marks from me for its hospitality and approach.. Check out my Frini Studios post for discount details and a closer look at the facility.
The Mytilene-Plomari Road
How to get to Plomari
<
Plomari is 42 km from the center of the island of Lesvos.. Due to the nature of the road, this journey takes approximately 50 minutes by private vehicle.. In order to go to this town from Turkey, it is necessary to take a ferry from Ayvalık to Lesbos.. After the ferry ride that takes 1 hour and 15 minutes, the port of Lesbos is reached.. There is a municipal bus service between Mytilene and Plomari that runs 3-4 times a day.. However, without the hassle of the city bus, choose a pleasant journey by renting a car and being included in the nature view.
Plomari with its unspoiled nature, friendly people, historical structures, magnificent beaches, ouzo, olive oil and soap >, one of the most beautiful corners of Lesbos. Those planning a trip to Mytilene should spend a few days in this beautiful town.
After our tiring and intense trip to India, we got out of the chaos and arrived in Nepal, where we said “oh there is a world”. We had a comfortable journey to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, with a 55-minute flight from Varanasi.. Nepal is 3 hours 20 minutes ahead of Turkey and 15 minutes ahead of India.
From Victoria Subirano’s book named A teacher in Kathmandu so that you can get an idea before you come to Nepal. you can watch the movie “A Mirror in the Sky” which he freely inspired. It is the film that reveals how the education system in Nepal works, poverty and mysticism.
Kathmandu is located in the valley at the confluence of the Vishnumati and Bagmati rivers.. There are dozens of temples hidden between its streets.. While it is difficult to breathe from the exhaust fumes in its narrow streets, it is certain that you will discover many things in the company of colorful shops, peddlers, bookshops and local people.
A blend of 2 religions, It is very possible to see that Buddhism and Hinduism coexist in the country where it is intertwined, and this unity is reflected even in objects and temples.. Whether Buddhist or Hindu, everyone can easily perform their daily rituals according to their religious beliefs.. There are enough temples in the city. Someone who goes to work or wanders around the streets completes his prayer by ringing the bell in the tiny temple on the street and applying the red paint inside the temple to his forehead.. A person who has prayed has red paint on his forehead. When you see this, know that that person has prayed. Let’s not forget that the main element of flower worship. During the worship we witnessed in temples, they offer flowers to their gods and light candles.
We were surprised that the fruits we ate did not taste salty, although agriculture is the livelihood of the country.. Especially when we say that the banana is disgusting that we have not eaten in our life, we say it’s like straw, we ate a banana that tasted just like that.. We got our Nepal visa quickly and very easily at the airport for 25 USD (15 days). They came to meet us because our hotel had a pick-up service.. We arrived at our hotel without the need to take a taxi.
We wrote the details and places we visited in separate sections to be more descriptive.
But first, let’s list the must-haves and some information you need to know for those who are considering coming to Nepal:
Take a mask. Too much air pollution in the city. If you don’t want to walk in dust and smoke, take your mask.
Bring walking shoes. The roads are very bad and dusty.. If you don’t want your nails to get dirty, wear sneakers.
Those who come to Nepal by plane should get a free map from the airport.. The map you will get from the hotels is not very descriptive and guiding.
Visit the bookstores in the Thamel area. There is a wide variety of books, magazines and many products for anyone interested in books, not just travelers.
Buy LP-Nepal. If not, you can find it in Thamel.. But those who do not want to buy definitely need a guide in the temple areas.. But for me, the temples and the figures carved on the temple do not mean anything, if you only want to take pictures of them, you do not even need a guide.. They charge up to 100 rs from tourists, don’t give more than 25 rs. For your information! Locals don’t like discounts in Kathmandu.
. If you are going to shop, know that they sell you exponentially more expensive.
Although not everywhere, 25% tax is charged in many restaurants and cafes.
Have dinner at Northfield Restaurant in the Thamel area.. There will be a pleasant dinner next to a cozy wood fire accompanied by Nepali music.
Entrance fee to all Durbar squares.
Kathmandu Durbar Square : 750 rs.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square : 1100 rs.
Patan Durbar Square : 500 rs.
Eat jujudhav yogurt in Bhaktapur. We should have paid 25 rs for 3 yogurts, but because we are tourists we paid 150 rs
Eat Daal Bhaat. It’s like Indian Thali.
Eat Momo. A dish resembling a tibetan dumpling. Vegetable, buffalo meat, chicken options are available. A little spicy and bitter.
During the time we were in Kathmandu, we made kora in Buddhist temples, translated mantras and sent our wishes to the universe in the fastest way, we worshiped according to God in Hindu temples :), We photographed the most beautiful examples of Newari architecture, followed closely the funerals of the cremated dead in accordance with Hinduism, practiced their rituals, respectively, Svayambhu Mahachaitya (Monkey Temple) temple, Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Bhaktapur, Changu Narayan Temple, Kathmandu and Patan Durbar Squares. SummaryArticle NameNepale ArrivalDescriptionAfter our tiring and intense trip to India, we got out of the chaos and arrived in Nepal, where we said “oh there is a world”. We had a comfortable journey with a 55-minute flight from Kathmandu Ya Varanasi, the capital of Nepal.. Nepal is 3 hours and 20 minutes ahead of Turkey and 15 minutes ahead of India.
There are some places that I came across somewhere and noted down and I couldn’t wait to go… Here is such a special route for me in Gdansk
I have been on my master’s degree for almost a year. Since I live in Brescia, Italy, I plan to visit various cities in Europe in combination.. I chose Gdansk first and said I’d go to Norway from here, to Alesund…
Gdansk Overview / Famous “Pencil Houses” of the City
My Plane Could Not Land in Gdansk
Here come the time, I went to Alesund and even got on the plane to Gdansk on the way back!
Oh what a plane ride…
While getting on I knew there was 55 km/h wind in Gdansk but I guessed it would be okay. But we couldn’t land on our first try, it passed, the plane was rocking like a cradle!
I Shared Those Moments We Couldn’t Land in Gdansk on Instagram @gorkemliyollarcom
An airstrip I was on for the first time in my life he had to pass, luckily the pilot managed to land in Gdansk on our second attempt…
It wasn’t a very good start, but I’m welcome Poland
Trying to go to Gdansk Glowny <
Finally Gdansk!
If the plane landed so hard, you should also think below, it’s as if I don’t come from the Norwegian fjords but went there, it’s so cold, wind, rain all together…
Since I got off at 10 pm anyway, I’m in trouble to go to my hostel and sleep You can actually reach the center directly from Gdansk Walesa airport by bus. But the buses after 11 o’clock leave at a different station called Wrzeszcz, and from there you reach the central Gdansk Glowny train station by commuter train.
That’s exactly how I got to the city and my hostel, but thanks to the Polish, who helped me while I was waiting for the bus. Thanks to a college couple…
Hello Gdansk / My First View in the City / Going to a Hostel
About Gdansk
Good morning from Gdanks!
This is Poland’ A city located on the Baltic Sea in the north of. Actually I visited all the Baltic countries and I loved it very much, but they said to Gdansk that this is Poland, you are not exactly Baltic
I mean this is Poland but Gdansk I think It’s even more beautiful than Poland…
Morning Hours / Walking By Motlawa
I’ve visited the capital Warsaw before, but now Gdansk is getting me pretty excited, let’s see what we’ll see…
Since my hostel is located at the northern end of the city, I also start walking from the riverside towards the center.
Yes, Gdansk is a typical Baltic city… I say that this city also has islands, rivers and plenty of water
strong>
Too Much Wind, But Not Without a Selfie
The Spirit of Gdansk: Motlawa River
Our River is Motlawa!
If I follow the Motlawa river, Gdansk’ It means I can almost completely tour the city. Because the city consists of this city and the small islands it surrounds.
First of all, when I come across a beautiful Gdansk text, she says OK. um I’m in the right place…
I Love Those City Names You Must See Me To Understand The Wind…
The Famous Cute Pencil Houses of Gdansk
The first thing I want to tell you in Gdansk is actually Houses that make up the unique architecture of this city.
In fact, although you can see similar ones in other cities of Germany and Poland in general, the ones here are more characteristic.. Thin and long, crooked, colorful houses like pencils!
Famous Pencil Houses of Gdansk / I Found This Name If I Found It In The Sun From The Tip, A Selfie Immediately…
And to the bottom aren’t they built?
Sweetly narrowing the top floors…
I admit that I saw the aerial view of these house-filled streets and fell in love with Gdansk and I thought I should see it. . Yes, maybe I won’t be able to see it from the air, but I’ll still see it.
“The top floors, which narrow down sweetly…”
There Could Be A Modern Building Without Destroying The City!
But here it is one thing to visit and see another photo of it.. The photos did not have modern siblings of these typical Gdansk houses either!
Yes, as a civil engineer, I noticed the modern buildings in Gdansk from the very first minute. Because the modern structures here are “we are modern” They don’t smirk They went and built with a nice modern interpretation of architecture similar to their old brothers.
I can’t say I’m not impressed with this work, Gdansk can still be visited after 50 years…
Modern Gdansk Houses I Like Very Much, There Are Some More Futuristic As Well… These Also Provided a Nice Transition / Modern-Old
Is Crane One Of The Attractions In Gdansk?
Now by the riverside While walking on the promenade called “Deptak Nadwodny”, I see one of the first things that come to mind when I think of places to visit in Gdansk.
What is that Crane?
Interesting place in Gdansk Crane The River And The Crane Look Better Here
Yes “Crane” is one of the interesting structures in Gdansk. This used to be a crane building used to load ships. If I said old, of course.. century is quite old The original state is destroyed, but the current one is worth seeing.
There is the Black Pearl of the pirates of the caribbean a little further ahead, there are nice photos, try it here…
Black Pearl is also here <
Like the Harry Potter Scene: Mariacka Street!
I’m diving down the river into Mariacka Street now
Mariacka at first sight became my favorite place in this city!
I feel like I’m on the street where I’m going to choose a wand for Hogwarts. “Hagrid, where do we get the wand?”
Can it be without a photo Mariacka Street
In Gdansk, you can feel an interestingly slightly British air; mysterious buildings painted in a depressing style, staircases in front of houses small courtyards and magnificent artistic details…
These small courtyard houses on Mariacka Street are boutique shops! Local products, gifts or jewellery, whatever you are looking for. All meticulously furnished with excellent details, this place can be studied for a few hours.
Magnets Here from the Map Detailed Shops in Mariacka Are So Sweet
Across the river side of the street, the huge St.. Mary’s Church…
Undoubtedly, it is one of the most magnificent buildings in the city, you can go inside and have a look at it.. Mary’s Church Is Also Visible
The Rain Follows Me
Just at that moment I’m being caught in the rain!
If it rains, I have a solution; raincoat and my umbrella…
Now it’s time where the heart of Gdansk beats; Long Sunday!
Long Sunday With Shaking Rain
Long Sunday
Long Sunday ie Długi Targ is a classic Polish style market-square. I don’t know why these guys built such thin and long squares, but it happened
As the name suggests, this is a long market area. If I said market, it means small peddlers and generally the shops lined up along the square, better if I say square…
Long Market / Długi Targ
You can see the most beautiful of the typical cute pencil houses of Gdansk that I mentioned in the Long Market.. The ones here are a little more historical and have wonderful decorations.
Also, I think the most eye-catching structure of the square is Gdansk Town Hall.
Gdansk Town Hall with its golden inlaid tower and legendary beauty. The clock may be the most magnificent structure in this city!
The Long Market and the Magnificent Gdansk Town Hall
Gdansk, the City of Gates
My market is at one end of the street, the Golden Gate is at the riverside end there is also the Green Door…
I forgot to mention; Gdansk is the city of gates
You can often see these gates in the old city centre.. It is generally built like 2-3 storey private buildings and has arch-shaped openings from the inside and you enter and exit the square and the street from there.. Especially the Golden Gate is another beautiful one, don’t miss it…
I’ll be visiting soon The Golden Gate / The surprise is gone! The Sun Is Clearly Opening The Gates of Gdansk: This Green Gate by the River
Is it a Rainbow?
And these gates are rain shields for me! Because I’m stuck at the door leading to the river from Long Market, it’s raining heavily
But a few minutes later, “the sun?”
If there’s rain and sun, let the rainbow come !
My Rain Shield Behind the Green Door I Watch Gdansk with Rain and Sun; Delicious!
Things suddenly turn upside down in Gdansk, it’s sunny now
The weather in the city has really changed with the sun and rainbow. Those depressing houses have turned into bright spring colors, now It’s time to wander the streets and take photos a lot.

Gdansk’s Islands
I set foot on one of Gdansk’s islands from the Green Bridge in front of the Green Gate. I say island, but it is a part of the city I say so only because rivers run on both sides.
This is also a very touristic area, but it is under construction for now, that catches my attention the most. lots of mobile sweet sellers I see around. Poland’s sugary pastry desserts are in vain, definitely try it!
Here’s the Island for You Just Kidding The River Divides A Wonderful Street I Discovered, Find It “Poland’s Candy Sweets pastry desserts of all kinds”
“The cafes of this city are very nice”
I want to have a snack and rest now. Şso that I can have a little view so that I can both fill my stomach and watch the city
Eat a great boutique pancake shop called “Pan Kejk” on the Long Market I came. There is everything to eat and drink here, and you won’t believe the prices. I got a great sandwich, salad and unlimited coffee for only 15-20 zloty.
I Need to Have a Rest and Eat Something / “Pakejk” Gdansk
Time to enjoy sunny Gdansk. I pass the Golden Gate at the upper end of the Long Market and open to the modern part of the city.
There is a triumphal arch-like gate and another historical building behind the Golden Gate.. You have now reached the wide streets of Gdansk here.
Gdansk Became Another Beautiful When The Sun Comes Out The Golden Gate I Just Mentioned Gdansk Houses Also Shine Differently!
A Little Out of the City, The Environment Is Different
There is a huge modern shopping mall right across the street. It is also possible to see socialist-style buildings when you go to a little bit further in the city. Gdansk dates back to different historical periods. It is a city that has witnessed it too.
I am now finishing my sightseeing in Gdansk.. You might think that this city is an atmospheric place anyway, and all its streets and avenues are special in general, so I say go everywhere
