High Flyers Attention! THY Miles&Smiles Advantages Are Decreasing
Being a Loyal Customer (Miles&Smiles Program Member) at THY Will Not Be As Easy As It Used To Be (August post on Digitalage)
Loyal customer or profitable customer? This must be the question being asked by THY right now.. The company’s revamped mileage program gives the impression of being revised to retain profitable customers rather than loyal ones.
Howie Rappaport, who works as a product manager at an American software company, recently took an interesting trip.. He flew first from Washington to Atlanta, from here to New York and finally to Istanbul.. At the end of this 27-hour journey, he reached Istanbul.. Rappaport, who had the opportunity to wander the streets of Istanbul, even for a few hours, then reached Baltimore with the transfers of Paris and Salt Lake City.. He made all this journey to earn miles and maintain his current privileged passenger status.
Miles&Smiles Members Travel to Maintain Their Status
Rappaport paid 665 dollars for plane tickets and 85 dollars for the hotel he stayed in Istanbul on this trip.. He earned 14 thousand miles as status miles from Delta Airlines and 35 thousand miles when bonuses and promotions are included from these flights.. In other words, thanks to this flight, he earned free miles to fly from America to the Caribbean.. A frequent business traveler, Rappaport actually makes 2 or 3 such trips a year to maintain their Diamond Medallion status with Delta Airlines and Executive Platinum status with American Airlines.. In fact, loyal airline customers like him, who fly frequently and now see miles on every flight, are starting to become a serious audience.. It is even possible to come across many people like Rappaport on forums like Flyertalk.com.
Negative Surprises Await THY Miles&Smiles Card Holders
There is a regular flying segment like Rappaport in Turkey and it is growing.. A very serious number of them are the most loyal passengers of Turkish Airlines (THY).. An interesting surprise awaited THY passengers, who were planning to maintain their status and earn miles like Rappaport, in July.. Especially the transoceanic ones.. Many have seen a mile processed on their statements, well below the miles they were accustomed to until now.. Those who thought it was a mistake were wrong.. THY’s loyalty program Miles&Smiles, which has undergone a serious change as of June 1, 2014, may be pregnant with negative surprises as well as many positive surprises.. Obviously, nasty surprises await those who travel for miles in the new era.
THY’s Loyalty Program (Miles&Smiles) has been renewed
As of June 1, 2014, Turkish Airlines announced the Renewed Mile Program Miles&Smiles. Members of the brand’s loyalty program can learn about the changes from the brand’s website.. When you read the explanations on the site, you think that the new loyalty program is much more advantageous.. However, when you are a little skeptical and make comparisons with the old program, you see that the program is not as full of advantages as you think.. By earning flight miles from THY, it will not be as easy as it used to be to rise to and maintain the status of loyal customers.. This may naturally cause the brand to lose some of its most valuable customer segment, loyal frequent travelers.
THY’s Loyal Customers Get Miles for the Second Time
Actually, this is not the first time THY has experienced milestones.. On May 1, 2011, when Miles&Smiles, the only official credit card of Turkish Airlines, was renewed with Garanti Bankası, similar practices were experienced in the miles earned from credit cards.. At that time, I covered this subject in detail in Bloomberg Businessweek Turkey.
To summarize briefly, in the past, a minimum of 1 mile was earned for 1 TL spending, this figure started from 0.1 mile and moved up to 1.20’s. Naturally, the miles earned by many shopping items were less than 1 mile.. Because no bank that entered the mile card business did not stand behind these cards too much in Turkey.. As in the case of Adios and Wings cards, banks reduced the yields of these products and stopped polyphonic marketing.
Of course, the situation here may have much more serious consequences than the change in mileage in a credit card. .
“Turkish Airlines will give 292 miles for W P class tickets on its Istanbul-Frankfurt flight with its new mileage application!.. On the same line, a maximum of 1461 miles is earned from Y-B class tickets.. In this case, status protection is now very difficult! For instance; While Istanbul Frankfurt earned 3508 miles with a round-trip T-class ticket in May, the same class earned only 1170 miles in June with the same flight codes.. The new system is even lower than Lufthansa mileage calculations!..,” says a journalist who has been traveling for years, and adds: “When the plane is only 90 percent full, the sale of high-class tickets begins… So even if you want, you can buy high-priced tickets and get high-priced tickets. you can’t get miles. What will we do then: We will start flying with other airlines as before.. From the beginning to the end of the 90’s, we never used to fly with THY except for domestic flights.. I would win 2 flights from Air France and at least 1 flight to America from Lufthansa. I flew to Istanbul Los Angeles twice with the miles I earned even from Delta Airlines”
Will Fly to Trabzon, Frankfurt and Los Angeles Attention
In the old mileage system, passengers used the same mileage over the flight distance (miles) regardless of the status of the flight ticket.. However, with the new mileage system, the status of the plane ticket is also taken into account.. In other words, those who buy cheap tickets and expensive tickets will no longer earn the same miles.. Although this may seem like a perfectly normal business behavior at first glance, it seems that even on many high-status tickets, the miles earned are lower than those earned on the cheapest ticket in the past.
THY’s new To better understand the change in the mileage system, the mileage chart can be viewed on the company’s website.. I have selected a city from domestic, European and long flights departing from Istanbul and compiled the amount of miles earned on 1 May and 1 June 2014 for you.. I chose Trabzon, where many airlines line up to open lines on domestic lines, Frankfurt, which is the most important hub of Europe on the European route, and Los Angeles, one of the longest flights of THY with 13 hours on long flights.. It is possible to reach these details in the tables in the article and on the THY website.. Therefore, in this article, I will summarize the changes in the new spindle system with a few examples.
Where Are Those Old Millers?
Frankfurt, one of the routes that THY flies the most in Europe, is a good example in this respect.. Until May 1, a passenger on Istanbul-Frankfurt flights earned 1754 miles with any economy ticket.. As of June 1, he earns 1461 miles even if he buys the most expensive economy ticket.. The lowest mileage earned is 292 miles.. There is a similar situation in Comfort Class.. In fact, a passenger who buys the most expensive business class ticket from Frankfurt today can earn the same miles as the passenger who buys the cheapest economy ticket on May 1.
A similar scenario awaits loyal customers on long flights.. On the Istanbul-Los Angeles line, where it is difficult to find empty seats even in business class, THY has so far earned 6865 miles in economy class, but this mileage will now vary between 1716 miles and 8581 miles.. Of course, for loyal customers who travel a lot who see flights as miles, the frustration of only getting 1716 miles after a 13-hour flight can be huge.
23 per year. If You Fly from Istanbul to Los Angeles 5 Times, You Are a Loyal Customer at Miles&Smiles
With the new system, it will be much more difficult for loyal customers to earn miles by flying while maintaining their status. In the past, to become an elite plus member of THY, which was the highest status, you had to collect 80,000 miles per year.. For this, it was enough to fly 6 times round trip on the Istanbul to Los Angeles route. Moreover, with the lowest status ticket. Now, you may have to make 23 round trips and fly one way once with a ticket with the same status.
In order to maintain these statuses, half of these flights a year they will need to fly more. It is not easy to find loyal passengers who will fly 23 times on the 13-hour Los Angeles line, one of the longest lines of THY.. On the other hand, while the miles earned from THY flights are generally discounted, there are some pluses in the new miles system. brought. With the new mileage system, more seats are reserved for Limited Capacity Award Ticket quota on each plane.. Again, the low season – high season difference is completely removed from the Award Tickets with Space Guarantee.. Thus, it is possible to issue award tickets with the same mileage values every semester.. In addition, after the arrangement, a one-way award ticket can be issued in return for 50 percent of the Miles required for the award ticket, Economy cabin award ticket on departure, Business cabin award ticket on return or Limited Capacity on departure and Seat Guaranteed Award Ticket on return.
Mile Traveler Fly for Miles
However, all these side benefits will be enough to cover the losses in the new mile system is it? As a loyal passenger who has been promoted to miles&smiles elite plus card, the top customer segment of THY’s mile program in recent years, I had the opportunity to closely follow the program and its evolution over time.. Loyal passengers who are members of the program called mile passengers in THY, as in the rest of the world, take care to book their flights on the same airline due to the advantages offered by the brand.. I have often preferred to fly with THY, even though a better airline was offered a flight just for this reason.
And even loyal customers who travel without need to maintain their status like Rappaport. has. THY offers to save passengers from this hassle and sell the missing miles for cash.. But selling loyalty for money can damage the status symbol in this system.. After all, selling loyalty with money is contrary to the concept of loyal customers.
In addition, brand loyalty balance is a system that brands should build on a win-win system.. In this balance, what your competitors bring to their loyal customers should be taken into account.. At the end of the day, the loyal airline passenger looks at the miles they’ve earned.. If he starts to lose it, he may begin to question his loyalty.. “After the new mileage system, I switched my New York and London flights to British Airways,” says a journalist who does not want to be identified, and who travels frequently.
Other Airlines How is it with Loyal Customers?
How about other airlines? The mileage programs that other airlines have designed for their loyal customers are all very complex and difficult to make a one-to-one comparison.. However, on average
- 10 economy flights yield one economy flight.
- Again, 4 business ticket 1 economy
- 7 business tickets win 1 business ticket.
–> On the other hand, with the new miles application miles&smiles at THY, you may have made 30 flights for 1 economy ticket and still have not won an award ticket.. In other words, under these conditions, people are wondering how to buy miles&smiles award tickets.
On the other hand, airlines that offer options even above these averages there is. Agean Airlines, a member of Star Alliance, of which THY is a partner, is one of them.. With the effect of the economic conditions in the country, the Greek airline company offers a very attractive offer to frequent flyer passengers in the mile program, just like Greece’s price cut in tourism.
Life Star Alliance Gold Card Membership for Life
Greek Airlines promises “Lifetime Star Alliance Gold Card” membership to its passengers who have collected 20,000 miles in a year
strong>. According to the news of Thepointsguy.com, one of the most important publications in the world about the mileage programs of airlines, it may be enough to make 4 round trip flights to America.. Moreover, once you get a Gold card, you can benefit from Star Alliance privileges on all flights you make with Star Alliance member airlines such as THY and Lufthansa.. In addition, to protect your status, instead of collecting serious miles every year, it is enough to buy a ticket every 3 years. (Footnote: THY after this article) No longer a lifetime Gold membership because Aegean Airlines complained to Star Alliance) In fact, THY’s problems with its loyal customers are not limited to the miles earned.. It is often not easy to buy an award ticket at the lowest mile level with miles.. You can fly in this way by choosing to fly on a guaranteed place or on a date requested by THY.. In addition, a passenger who buys a ticket with award miles cannot advance his ticket even if there is an empty seat on the previous flight.. However, an ordinary customer can benefit from this service because he bought a paid ticket.. A passenger who bought a Mille ticket is considered to have received a free ticket.. However, it is as if you forgot that you are your most loyal customer who has flown with you enough to buy tickets from you with miles. Again, Delta Airlines gold card holder (THY’ de elite and elite plus card) passengers are automatically upgraded to business class if there is room in business class. The company thus uses the already vacant seat to reward its loyal customers.. In THY, on the other hand, if the economy class is not filled, you will not have the chance to upgrade to such a class.. In addition, THY’s elite plus passengers have the right to upgrade their flights to business class twice a year.. But when you try to use it, especially on long flights, you don’t have much luck.. Of course, if you haven’t planned that flight a year in advance. When all this comes together, the loyal brand in your hand, with the pressure that I will gain profitable customers, corporate like THY and perhaps Turkey’s only global brand. risks losing customers. Moreover, it does this through a loyalty program…Loyal Customer at THY (Miles&Smiles Elite Plus and Elite) His Loyalty Is Punished
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…

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…

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…

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…

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

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

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!
