With the effects of the Renaissance period and the Baroque art movement, fountains became more magnificent day by day and began to carry different meanings with metaphors, especially gods in mythology..

Choosing a hotel in Rome For things to consider, hotel prices and recommendations, you can review my article WHERE TO STAY IN ROME.
Fontana di Trevi (Fountain of Love): The Turkish word for one of the most famous fountains, the Fountain of Love, is Üçyol Fountain.. This fountain decorated with statues is one of the most famous and touristic places in Rome.. You have to turn your back to the fountain and make a wish by throwing a coin over your shoulder into the fountain, it’s the custom It was even accepted to throw it twice, first for your wish to be granted and second for you to come back to Rome.
When it is customary to throw money into the Fountain of Love, a small fortune lies on the floor of the fountain.
To the construction of the Fountain of Love in 1629 It was started in .. The statue in the middle belongs to the god of the sea, known as Poseidon in Greek mythology and Neptune (Neptunus) in Roman mythology.. Between the columns next to Neptune, Ceres, the goddess of fertility, standing on the left, and Hygieia, the goddess of hygiene and cleanliness, standing on the right (the word hygiene comes from this goddess), indicate the main theme of the fountain and the elements associated with the concept of water, of which Neptune is the god (water = fertility + cleanliness).. There are different opinions about the horses and statues on the two sides below; The docile horse held by the old man on the right symbolizes rational love, and the unruly horse held by the young man on the left symbolizes passionate love.. (I’m a liar of what I heard )
The famous scene where Anita Ekberg enters the Fountain of Love in the movie La Dolce Vita.. (Image is excerpt.)
Before you go, watch the romantic-comedy When In Rome (Fountain of Love) I recommend you to watch; An entertaining film about what happens to Beth, who wishes for love in the Fountain of Love.. In addition, the film La Dolce Vita (Sweet Life), which was produced in 1960 and won the Palme d’Or and the Oscar for Best Costume at the Cannes Film Festival held in the same year, takes place in various places in Rome, including the Fountain of Love.. Anita Ekberg, who played the lead role in the Federico Fellini movie and entered the fountain, became well-known for her role as Sylvia in the movie and later became a sex symbol.
Trevi Square, where the Fountain of Love is located, is always very crowded.
When such a touristic city has such a famous place, the area around the Fountain of Love is very, very much. busy. If you want less people in the pictures you take, try going early in the morning or late at night.. Of course, it is a must to see the illuminated version in the evening, so you should plan to go twice, day and night By the way, it is forbidden to go inside or even put your hand in it, the Italian police will be right next to you.
There are pizza and ice cream shops in the square where the Fountain of Love is located.. If you get hungry, you can roll one or two of the delicious slices of pizza.. Nearest metro stop: Barberini.
Palazzo Chigi (Image is excerpt.)
Palazzo Chigi: Italian and European Union flags are flying at the entrance of this palace, which was the consulate building of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the past.. Today it is used as the government building and the residence of the Italian prime minister.. The name of the square with the column rising a little ahead is Piazza Colonna and it is one of the squares in Rome with statues & fountains.
Palazzo Madama : This palace, on the way from the Pantheon to Navona Square, is the Italian parliament building.
Piazza Navona: Street It is a very lively square full of artists, painters, musicians, fortune tellers and cafes, and a must-visit square with its fountain and sculptures.. It is best to go both during the day and in the evening, but if you have the only chance, I think you should choose the evening; it will be more luminous, more active and more romantic with the effect of music.. You can sit in a place you find and watch the beauty of the square and the flowing human traffic, or you can sit in the cafe-restaurants and have something to drink.. Since the places here are expensive according to the tourist tariff, if your budget is limited, just settle for coffee or wine and eat in one of the side streets
Bernini At the Fountain of the Four Rivers, the work of , the river god of the American continent, who is afraid of snakes, is seen on the left and the river god of the European continent touching the coats of arms on the right.
There are three fountains in Navona Square. The big and magnificent one is the famous fountain Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) by Italian artist and architect Bernini 17. century designed. Among the statues in the fountain loaded with metaphors and metaphors, he was the god of the Ganges river, representing the Asian continent, with an oar in his hand, and the suitability of this river for maritime traffic was indicated with the oar.. He was the god of the Nile river, which was covered with a cloth on his head, representing Africa, and this concealment in the head of the statue was associated with the fact that the source of the Nile river was not known by anyone (concealment).. The statue touching the coat of arms of the Pope is the god of the Danube river, representing the European continent.. This river is depicted like this because it is the closest river to the heart of Christianity.. His frightened expression because he saw a snake was the god of the Silver River (Rio de la Plata), representing the American continent, and with the expression on his face, it was a reference to the fear of the rich people in America being stolen from their money.. Quite interesting.
The fountain into which Tom Hanks jumped in the movie adapted from Dan Brown’s novel Angels and Demons is Bernini’s work.. (African continent’s river god with his head covered in a cloth is seen in the back left.)
Angels and Demons by professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) ), the fountain he jumped into to save the last kidnapped cardinal, and this scene in Navona Square, I think is very exciting.

By rejecting religious teachings, Bruno took a stance contrary to the era in which he lived, and was accused of heresy because he believed in Copernicus’ theses (these theses, which argued that the universe was heliocentric, not earth, and that there were planets other than earth, were rejected by the Catholic church).. Tortured for years in Piombi prison in Venice. He was imprisoned for 6 years in Castel San’t Angelo, which is known as the Roman Castle and which you will definitely go to see (I mentioned in my article on Places to Visit in Rome).. And although he would be forgiven if he apologized, he never gave up on his views despite everything that happened to him.. Lastly, he was brought to Campo de’ Fiori, where the sinner’s tongue was cut off so that he could not speak any more, and then he was burned at the stake.. Afterwards, it would have been thought that this execution was not very appropriate, so his statue was erected on the place where he was killed.. This is the story of the statue in the square.

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.

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.

Two-story, bay window, mostly wooden houses line the narrow streets..

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..

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.

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.

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.
