The second stop of our Belgium trip, Brugge; Although it is a very touristic place, it is a very charming and aesthetic city that we can not help loving, beaming us to the past in every street we step on.. Its canals, which once gave it its port identity, are today the owner of the picturesque views of Bruges that we see everywhere.. Sure, all this beauty isn’t limited to channels. Fortunately, the medieval architecture, which makes you feel like the actor of a nostalgic movie, was never damaged in the wars..

It is guaranteed that you will not get tired of walking but taking pictures in this sympathetic city under UNESCO protection!
Before You Begin: It is possible to come across different names of the city while researching about Bruges..

BRUGGE PLACES TO VISIT IN
Brugge is a one-day city with almost all places to visit in the historical city center.. For those who don’t know where to start, we share our walking route below.. The best way to visit this city, whose streets are as beautiful as its squares, is definitely walking a lot.. You can visit most places on a day when you wake up early and hit the road.. Of course, if you want to enjoy the romantic atmosphere and don’t want to compress the schedule too much then it’s better to spread it out over two days.. Have a nice trip already!
#1 Markt Square:
Try to the tour in Bruges from the Grote Markt, which has been used as the main market place of the city since 958, namely We start from Markt Square. The peculiarity of the square is that it is the place where the main market is established once a week since the past.. Although its surroundings have changed a lot today, the square continues its weekly Sunday tradition every Wednesday.. Since most of Bruges’ places to visit are located around this square, we can say that this is the ideal place to start the walking route.
12 in Markt square.. There is the Belfort, the bell tower built in the 19th century, and the provincial courthouse, which was used as the court of the West Flander region for a period and was built in its place in 1878 after it was demolished.. The main square was surrounded by historical shops that used to be used by tradesmen, and with the renovation work carried out in 1995, all of them were renovated to remain faithful to the original.. Thus, Markt square gained the colorful form we see today, restaurants and cafes took the place of shops.. The square is closed to traffic, and the best part is that every corner is full of cyclists!
#2 Belfort Bell Tower:
One of the symbols of Bruges Belfort bell tower 12. made in the century. This tower, one of the best examples of medieval architecture, was used as an observation tower for a long time to establish a municipal archive and to protect the city from possible disasters.. The 83-meter-long tower offers a wonderful panoramic view for those who want to watch the Markt square and its surroundings from above.
It is necessary to climb 366 steps to reach the top of the Belfort bell tower.. We don’t recommend the tower ascents when it’s a sight not normally worth it; but Brugge’s bell tower has a place for us. Definitely one of the most beautiful cityscapes we’ve ever seen.. Although the steps are narrow, the result is worth it. Entry is €12 per person, free for those with the Musea Brugge Card.
#3 Burg Square:
One of the oldest residential areas in Brugge, Burg Square is also 9. It is considered the administrative center of Bruges, as it was the place chosen by the Counts of Flander to rule the city as of the 19th century and this tradition was continued with the town hall located in the square.. The reason why Burg Square is one of the oldest settlements in Bruges is that there is a castle that does not exist today.. It is possible to say that it has been a center from the past to the present, both in terms of life and administration.
Burg Square is among the most magnificent spots of Bruges with its structures containing various architectural styles.. The first architecture that will catch your attention in the square is the town hall Stadhius built in 1376.. Stadhius town hall, which combines Gothic, Renaissance and Neo-Classical styles with additions and renovations made at different times, also draws attention with its exterior decorations depicting counts of Flanders and Bible figures.. The town hall, where Bruges was ruled for more than 600 years, is open to visitors who want to learn about the history of the city.. Entrance fee is €6 to visit the halls, free for those with the Musea Brugge Card.
The small building to the left of the town hall was once used as a courthouse Brugse Vrije. The building, which is one of the most important examples of the Renaissance period in the city, was the place where Bruges’ countryside was governed before serving as a courthouse.. Under Brugse Vrije, meaning Freedom Palace, the mini-passage leads up to Blinde Ezelstraat, which connects Burg Square to the fish market Vismarkt.
The rectangular building next to Brugse Vrije Dean’s building passes as. This is St.. Another building in Gothic style used as the residence of the members of the Donatian Church.. To the right of Stadhius, you will see the Basilica of the Holy Blood, one of the small churches of the city. The exterior of this church, whose construction began in 1291 and was completed in Romanesque and Gothic styles, is decorated with statues of the counts of Flanders.. Inside the church. A cloth said to be bloodstained from Jesus is on display, brought to Bruges after the Crusades.. Entrance to the church is free, the museum section is €2.5 per person.
#4 Vismarkt:
The city’s fish market Vismarkt, It was built in 1821 to prevent the smell of fishermen who sold their products in various parts of the Markt Square in the past and to collect them at a certain point.. A market place still actively used for the same purpose; You can visit here for aperitifs such as fish and bread.. A very lively area with street performers in the square.. Of course, we do not write Vismarkt to come and visit.. Take note of this place as it is right next to one of Bruges’ most photogenic sights.
#5 Groenerei Channel:
We came to one of our favorite places in Bruges one to the Groenerei channel! Surrounded by stone bridges, green trees and historical Bruges houses, the Groenerei canal is one of the places you should stop by on the walking route.. In our opinion, the farther you get from the center while cruising along the canal, one of the most romantic corners of the city, the scenery becomes calmer and more beautiful at the same rate.. It is difficult to choose which house in Groenerei is more beautiful. You can catch the best views of the canal against Meebrug from the Peerdenbrug Bridge.
After completing your walk in Groenerei, return to where you started and go back to one of our favorite beer bars in Brugge, the 2be Brugge Wall, a special settlement for the Beguins, consisting of women who live religiously and do not want to marry or are widowed. The peculiarity of this Begijnhof is that although the houses inside have been renovated over time, its concept has been fully preserved and it is one of the best examples in Bruges.. After the last Beguin living in Begijnhof left here in 1927, it started to be used as a home for women belonging to the Benedictine Order.. Today, his active life continues.. As long as you act quietly, you can visit the Begijnhof and observe the daily life of the Beguins and the civil architecture of Bruges.. Admission to the campus is free, visiting the sample house is €2 per person, free for Musea Brugge Card.
#12 Minnewaterpark:
Near Brugge Train Station Minnewaterpark is one of the best places to relax in Bruges. Inside the park, there is a mini pond called the Love Lake and the Bergebrup bridge, which was built in a modern way that has little to do with the general architecture of Bruges; but its main beauty is in its abundant green. Generally a place where young people and families with children come to play, have a picnic, some lazing around and spread out in the park. We stopped by here before the return train to Brussels and had a small picnic.. Let’s not forget that Minnewaterpark hosts concerts and festivals during the summer months.
CANAL TOUR IN BRUGGE
We mentioned that Bruges is the Venice of the North because of its canals, let’s talk about the famous canal tour here. Frankly, it is not our custom to take a canal tour; because in some places, the boat or boat you get on is either covered with glass or is far below the distance you can see.. We do not prefer these activities where we cannot see anything and take pictures.. However; In Bruges the situation is a little different.. Both the boats that provide canal transportation are open, and you have the chance to see many structures while navigating the canal.. You will also notice when you stand in a corner and watch the progress.
There are several companies that do canal tours in Bruges; they all work the same. The canal tour is €10 per person, the tour takes about 30 minutes and the guide accompanying the tour gives information about the places you pass by.. We can say that we liked Bruges the most among our canal tour experiences so far.. Don’t forget to sit right behind the boat or boater for the most beautiful views and the most comfortable photo shoot.. Canal tours are held between 10:00 – 18:00.

The first week of June is also very suitable for hot weather.

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.

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.

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..

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..

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

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 !

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!
