Bali Temples & Must Sees
The Bali island, which those who have gone can not finish telling and those who have not yet tried to include in their travel plans as soon as possible, and fascinates the visitors with its magnificent nature.. Bali temples undoubtedly occupy an extremely important place among Places to visit in Bali. Since Hindu temples are plentiful on the island, if you’re wondering which ones to see first in your limited time, my The most beautiful temples in Bali post will help you out.
In this article, we will give brief information about the must-sees among Bali temples and show you which ones you can see in the same day. I will share some useful tips for you.. As I explained in my other Bali articles, the most suitable method for you to do these trips is to hire a driver and if you need help with the driver, I can recommend the driver I use (and later used by many of my readers ). For this, you can reach me on my social media accounts (at the end of the article) or via e-mail ([email protected]).
Before we start, we will see the “pura” in the original names of the temples. Let me say that ” means temple in Indonesian. In addition, temples have an entrance fee that does not exceed 5 dollars, and you pay 1-2 dollars for the rent of fabrics called sarong, which you have to tie around your waist (valid for both men and women) within the scope of the temple dress code.. If you want, you can buy these ubiquitous fabrics and carry them with you to avoid renting them at temple entrances and save a little, but I didn’t buy them because I found the idea of using a different color in each temple more fun
You tie sarongs around your waist at the entrance of Bali temples, they are so beautiful (the driver who showed us around helps me tie it in the picture)
Bali Temples
If your Bali holiday will start with the concept of sea and sun for you, the first temples you will see will most likely be Uluwatu Temple and Tanah Lot Temple. HOW TO PLAN A TRIP TO BALI, as I detailed in my article, these two temples are close to the Kuta – Legian – Seminyak – Nusa Dua – Jimbaran regions where you go for Bali’s sea vacation, so it is a good planning to spend a day to see Uluwatu and Tanah Lot temples and its surroundings while staying in that area.
Both temples will first change the meaning of the word ‘temple’ in your mind; because you don’t go inside a building and see statues or paintings. On the contrary, you are outdoors and although there is a ‘building’ for the temple, the temple is actually the entire area you are in (this open-air concept is always dominant in Balinese temples). You can see that Uluwatu Temple photos are always taken outdoors on the edge of the cliffs.
Uluwatu Temple was built on the edge of the cliffs and its name is ‘rock in the corner’.
“So from where do I enter the temple area?” If you are confused, we can say from the place where they tie colorful drapes around your waist and charge entrance fee
Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu)
Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu) is one of Bali’s oldest temples, built on the edge of 70-meter cliffs (cliffs), and falls under the category of sea temples.. The word Ulu that makes up its name means corner and Watu means rock, meaning a temple built on the edge of the rock or a rock in the corner (however you want to translate it now, the main idea is the same ).
I recommend you to tour the surrounding area and see its beautiful views and if you come across it, watch the Kecak fire dance performance at 17:00, but it would still be appropriate to follow the recommendations of your driver who showed you around, or if you did not come with the driver, you should ask the people around.. Because the famous Bali dances are held in many places and I watched the kecak dance in another place I visited on the same day as the time suited me better.. It’s not a great thing and I think after watching 5-10 minutes it will faint, but it’s still good to see because it’s a different culture.
Try to watch Balinese traditional dances during one of your Bali temple visits, but don’t expect too much.
Uluwatu Temple it is necessary to pay attention to the monkeys in the area, they are the landlords of the place.. Since my previous trip to Sri Lanka required getting along with monkeys, I knew more or less about ‘racon’; not to carry food and drink outdoors, to put sunglasses in a bag or use them carefully (not on the head or on the collar), protect the phone and camera by hiding them by hand.
Otherwise the monkeys will haunt you It might bother you, for example, if he is raking your bag, he wants the food in it (more likely if there is fruit in your bag) and you better give it to him.. Or they may have been ‘trained’ by their owners to smuggle tourists’ valuables, so be careful.
The monkeys on the tree-lined road to Uluwatu temple will find your belongings. be careful not to ring.
Tanah Lot Temple (Pura Tanah Lot)
The Tanah Lot temple (Pura Tanah Lot), whose name translates to land in the sea, is a rock formation in the sea temples category, in the same way as Uluwatu Temple.
As Uluwatu and Tanah Lot temples are most famous for their sunset views, they are flooded with visitors especially at those times. If you go in low season like me, it will probably be cloudy so you won’t be able to watch the sunset with its wonderful colors, but I still think that both temples are very beautiful places and should be included in a day trip plan during Bali vacation.. Even if you go during the high season or on a sunny day, be careful not to miss the time when the sun will set by planning the traffic that will occur due to the heavy crowd
Sea temples in Bali are for worshiping the sea gods. made and there are 7 in total. We learned about two of the most well-known. By sea, of course, we mean the Indian Ocean in Bali.
Tanah Lot temple is even more beautiful with sunset colors.
Beratan Temple (Pura Ulun Danu Beratan)
Full name Pura Ulun Danu Beratan (or sometimes Bratan) is an extremely photogenic pagoda set in the middle of a foggy/cloudy lake that you see in all Bali promotions, so it’s especially worth taking pictures. and friends who like to post cool poses on instagram will love Beratan temple. The name of the lake is not surprisingly, Lake Beratan.
I mentioned sea temples, Beratan Temple is water temples. falls under the category. This is probably why the word Danu is mentioned in the long name of the temple, which was built for the purpose of Dewi Danu, Bali’s goddess of water, lakes and rivers.
The Beratan temple and Beratan Lake, which is mostly foggy/cloudy, are some of the most beautiful places to see in Bali.
The Beratan Temple was one of my favorite places in Bali. I definitely recommend you to plan this place on one of your tours while staying in and around Ubud.
A note especially for ladies: If you have a type that doesn’t look very Asian like me, people will show extreme interest in you. Be prepared for the ladies to want to take a photo, and the lovers/wives next to the ladies, don’t get jealous and make a scene Even though I went to many places during my one-week Bali vacation, for some reason, something like this only happened around the Beratan Temple and people officially lined up to take a photo with me, nothing. I couldn’t understand. At first I thought they had mistaken me for someone famous (I blog so much, I’m famous :P) but then I saw a few more European women being circled similarly.
Some of the people who competed with me to take a photo with me at Beratan temple on my trip to Bali temples..
Tirta Empul Temple (Pura Tirta Empul)
Similar to Beratan temple, Pura Tirta Empul is also a water temple, and you will immediately understand this from the fact that people are bathing in the water.. So this time the water temple is not coming from the lake around it, but directly from the water source that the temple itself has.. As you can imagine, the temple’s water is considered holy (holy spring water) and is known as the Tirta Empul holy water temple.
I told you that temples in Bali will change the meaning of the word temple in your mind, Since it is worshiped by washing with holy water, this is a place that astonishes exactly “What interesting temples there are”. If you wish, you can join the ritual and enter the holy water at Tirta Empul Temple, I just put my hands in it.
Tirta Empul temple in Bali one of the interesting places and there are many people bathing in holy water around it.
Batuan Temple
If you’ve started to research about places to see in Bali, you’ve probably come across it, there are villages that specialize in certain subjects (such as oil painting, wood carving, silver working). Because Batuan temple is close to these villages, it is a place you should visit on the same day, and it offers you the subtleties of Balinese art, as it has been processed with extremely beautiful details, similar to the concept of the villages.
Batuan Temple’ There are no multi-layered pagodas, there is a magnificent example of the doors that are divided into two in the middle, which you will often see in Bali.. These split gates serve as entrances to palaces, tombs and temples that I mentioned in the open space.. Walk around and carefully examine the details of both the split gate and the temple surroundings, I think you will be impressed like me.
The driver who showed us around, Batuan Temple, and the water temple Tirta Empul’ He has scheduled it to see it the same day, you can plan it similarly.
The Batuan temple near the art villages is also with fine details like the artifacts in the villages. fancy.
Taman Ayun Temple
Taman Ayun’s Temple I think you can guess what you will see in this temple if I say it means “beautiful garden”. With a wonderful photographic gate, a lush garden, many small pagodas and Taman Ayun temple, don’t forget to stop by.
The driver who took us around, Beratan Temple (you know! It was the most photogenic in the middle of the lake) and Taman Ayun Temple on the same day. If you are staying in the center of Ubud, you can see the two temples on the same day with a similar plan. class=”wp-caption-text”>The Taman Ayun temple has the ‘split door’ that you will see in many places in Bali.
Maybe I could write it under a separate title, but Taman Very close to the Ayun temple, there is an interesting cave called Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave – Elephant Cave), made in such a way that you will enter a creature’s mouth, and this is a sacred area with its garden, while you’re here, don’t miss seeing it.
The name means elephant cave Goa Gajah is an interesting looking place of worship.
Besakih Temple (Pura Besakih)
I saved my favorite place in Bali, Besakih temple (Pura Besakih) for last along with Beratan temple. It’s not just my opinion that this is a great place; The Besakih temple is considered the largest, most important and holiest temple in Bali and is known as the Mother Temple of Bali.
You may have heard for the first time that it is such an important place, because many people who go to Bali have to leave Bali without seeing the Besakih temple because they do not have enough time.. “Well then, let’s see this before we go to the others?” If you say that, that doesn’t happen either, because since other temples are more centrally located, you have the opportunity to stop by and see many extra places during the daily tour that includes that temple, while the Besakih temple is located in the mountainous eastern part of Bali, in a position that we can say ‘on its own’.
Besakih temple is considered the main temple of Bali and I can say that it is my favorite among Balinese temples. .
In fact, the importance of the Besakih temple is partly due to its location.. The temple, built on the foot of Mount Agung (Mount Agung or Gunung Agung in Balinese), belongs to the category of mountain temples, and the mountainous areas are haunted – magical places among the people as places where the gods reside. is accepted. In other words, we can say that they think they are very close to their gods when it comes to worshiping the Besakih temple.
Besakih Temple Entrance Fee
Besakih Temple is still mostly visited by tourists rather than locals. They are visited, and for this reason, they have also established the classical tourist pile system, ‘it is mandatory to travel with a tourist guide’.. As soon as you enter the garden of the temple, a local guide starts to give you information about the temple and you have to accept one of them.. However, I wasn’t too bothered by the fact that I found what the man told useful and that at least the market for the job was supervised by a large inscription ‘give this much money at the entrance of the temple’.. The maximum amount is IDR 100,000 (around $7), by the way, I had agreed to give half of it by negotiating at first.. If you go, tell them how much you will pay as soon as the men come to you and specifically state that it is ‘total’ (total = total) in order not to be exposed to the nonsense that you have to pay that amount per person, whichever suits you best will accept you.. I heard that if you get ugly, you have a chance to get rid of this guide thing, but I didn’t see it necessary, you decide for yourself.
This is what the split door in Besakih temple looks like .
There is the famous Kintamani area close to Besakih temple. The Kintamani region around Batur Mountain (Mount Batur) is especially preferred by hiking and mountain climbing (trekking) lovers, but like me, you can combine the Besakih temple and Kintamani tour to see its beautiful views from afar. you can do it, I said that the Besakih temple is located in the mountain area.
Mount Agung and Mount Batur are active volcanoes in Bali by the way. You know, sometimes we hear and read about the Bali volcanic eruption or the volcanic movement in Bali, that’s where those movements happen.
Batur Mount is one of the active volcanoes in Bali and can be visited within the scope of tours called Kintamani tour.
Saraswati Temple (Pura Taman Saraswati)
Ubud’s most famous temple, Pura Taman Saraswati, looks extremely impressive with the lotus flower pool in its garden. Saraswati, to which the temple is dedicated, is the goddess of art, music and wisdom in Hinduism.
I said Saraswati temple is the most famous temple of Ubud, because Ubud is exactly in the center.. In other words, unlike the journeys you have to make with a driver to reach other temples, if you stay in the center of Ubud like I did, you can reach here on foot.. I sat in the cafe called Lotus Cafe on the main road in the center, ate something and walked around, because the temple is almost the garden of the cafe.. That’s why this was the only temple I didn’t pay an entrance fee for, I think they counted what I ate at the cafe It definitely has entrances from other places.
Lotus flower Saraswati Temple looks very impressive with its pool.
WHERE TO STAY IN BALI to understand where the center of Ubud is, what to consider when choosing a hotel in Bali, and hotel recommendations. I recommend you to read my article.. Since I stayed in 4 different hotels in Bali, I had the opportunity to get different perspectives and I think my recommendations will be useful to you.
To summarize the most beautiful temples of Bali:
- Uluwatu and Tanah Lot temples must be seen on the same day. It makes more sense to see it while staying in the sea areas.
- The Beratan and Taman Ayun temples and Goa Gajah can be seen on the same day. It makes more sense to visit while staying in Ubud.
- Art villages and Batuan Temple and Tirta Empul temples can be seen in the same day.. It makes more sense to visit while staying in Ubud.
- It would be nice if you could spare time for Besakih Temple. You can visit as part of the Kintamani tour, and it makes more sense to visit while staying in the Ubud region.
- Saraswati Temple is located in the center of Ubud, if you stay in this area where there are many hotels, you can go on foot or maybe take a short taxi ride yourself. .
As you can see, you have to go with the driver There are 4 separate routes required. If you have read my other articles about Bali trip, now you know why I said you need to travel “at least 4 days” with the driver

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..

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.

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.

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.
The Rainbow Has Arrived Can I Pass Such An Unforgettable Moment Without A Photograph? This Is The Back Side
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
