İrem, who went to Scotland with a YLSY Scholarship, Tells!
Glorious days! I’m here with a brand new interview I can see from your responses to my erasmus etc. articles how much research you all are on master’s degree abroad.. Is there any writing in Gorkemliyollar that is not based on experience? No!
I said I had a sincere conversation with a student friend who had a master’s degree in Scotland and who also did this with the MEB’s “YLSY Scholarship”, which is a state scholarship. Let’s do a question and answer and find out behind the scenes of the event
Here’s İrem Çokdogan I am sure that İrem’s graduate story in Scotland, a student like us, will guide you all. In the interview, we will talk about everything from YLYS scholarship to living in Scotland and Scotland travel suggestions!
“Hi Dear! I’m İrem Çokdoğan” / Scotland
Irem’s Master’s Story in Scotland
Hello dear İrem! First of all, thank you for accepting my interview offer, I’m sure what you will share here will shed light on many people ? For those who are looking forward to it, let’s get started! First of all, can you briefly introduce yourself, what were you doing before your adventure in Scotland?
Hi Dear! I’m İrem Çokdogan. I am from Eskişehir, I am 26 years old. I studied Biochemistry at Izmir-Ege University due to my passion for biochemistry, chemistry and Izmir in high school.. After a period of 4 years, I soon realized that although such departments have attracted attention abroad, they have not yet received attention in Turkey as a field of study.. Due to the references of my professors and my grade point average, I received a few postgraduate offers in Turkey with scholarship.. But I felt that I needed something different to improve myself.. First of all, I took the step to become a biochemistry specialist by studying for 1 year for the TUS exam, which is an opportunity given to biology and biochemistry departments outside of medicine.. 6 in the exam at the end of 1 year. Even though I was a medical student, a quota was not opened for even 1 person.. After that, it seems difficult to open a quota outside of medicine, let’s mention it here.. Just when I was in a devastated state and at that moment when I thought my efforts were wasted, I can say that the YLSY scholarship came and found me. My adventure with the YLSY scholarship started right at the point where I fell and it encouraged me again!
Let’s come to the curious topics ? Where did the idea for a master’s degree abroad come from? Everyone thinks of this for a while, but how did it turn into a real roadmap?
As I said, I actually had the idea of doing a master’s degree somewhere deep in my mind.. I thought a lot about the offers in Turkey.. But I didn’t choose this path because I thought I’d stand down. We first learned about the YLSY scholarship thanks to my boyfriend Berkay’s father.. He is a very researcher We graduated from the same university and the same department as Berkay.. Applications are made very easily online and we were crazy about the idea of studying abroad for 4-6 years and we applied together.
MEB YLSY Scholarship with Complex Process
YLSY Program? For example, you can talk about the places you have difficulty with.
Berkay and I applied to this program towards the end of that year.. At that time, you apply online with an online application such as 15 TL.. Now this fee has increased to 65 TL. To prepare for the YLSY program, your grade point average (if 2.5 and above) and your Ales score is sufficient at first. They don’t ask for your English score in the interview.. Whether you have a language score for the interview is not a criterion.. This program was not very well known in our time.. There was no competition. Later, when we went abroad after the application and interview, I started to publish my YLSY information videos, which started with ‘Hi Dear!’ on Youtube.. Too many views. This contributed a lot to the increase in competition.. I applied with 72 Ales points and was accepted.. Now, due to competition, those with an Ales score of 85 and above can generally be accepted.
YLSY Scholarship is famous for its often complicated processes ? How did you cope? How did you handle the accommodation issue?
The accommodation process is difficult at first when you go to an unknown country. Pre-setting is always convenient. Many of our single outgoing YLSY fellows arrange their dormitories online while they are still in Turkey.. Since there are too many international students there, dormitories and private apartments are used to this situation.. You can also watch a dorm we visited for you and my videos about the house rental process on my Youtube channel.. How did we handle this process? We fixed it because we were going to 2 people and we were going to rent a house.. we stayed in our Airbnb accommodation that we rented for 2 days when we first went. We thought that a house would be rented like in Turkey.. it didn’t happen. Fortunately, Turks are everywhere.. A Turkish sister, who was married to a Scottish man we met and met there, hosted us for 10 days.. In that process, we quickly looked for a house and after complicated processes, we were able to find a house.
“…A Turkish sister, who was married to a Scottish person we met and met there, hosted us for 10 days in their house…”
With a student visa to Scotland you must be gone ? How did the visa and passport processes go on your behalf? Did you receive any counseling during this process? Did you have any difficulties?
Obviously you are already a scholarship holder with a government grant. Getting a visa is not difficult. Only the fees are a bit exaggerated.. let me speak for england. It costs 1000 pounds for a master and 2500 pounds for a doctorate. You pay these visa fees first.. Then the government pays you back. Yes, this scholarship is an all-inclusive scholarship! The state covers your passport costs for up to 2 years.. We had a 10-year passport issued ourselves so we wouldn’t have to deal with it again.. This part is a matter of preference.. We got help with the application process. They provide ‘free consultation’ for UK and Australia. They take care of everything from A to Z. From the letter of intent, from the translations to the uploading of documents. However, this is not mandatory.
“Even the Plane Tickets are Paid by the State”
Now I would like to listen to the voices of the readers and ask a question ? How much did you spend, roughly, from the application and subsequent process to the YLSY application and the day you went to Scotland? You don’t need to give exact figures ? I’m asking to give an idea for the readers.
Hahaha I want to answer this question with the title of my most popular video.. ‘I settled in England with zero savings!’ Scotland and England have the same procedures. they are in the same kingdom. Those who don’t know much about Scotland call England. That’s why the title of the video. As for the question, I really didn’t have any savings when I first went.. The state paid for the Ielts fees, even our plane tickets. My only expense was the amount I put in my 10-year passport. The government deposits £2,600 into your account, which is 2 scholarships for UK countries, before you leave. Berkay had paid a fee of 800 pounds for the home deposit.. This was our biggest expense at first.. The government pays for everything.
So now I’m just wondering how you felt when you first set foot in Scotland ?
An emotional question. So obviously it was cold and wet We encountered that famous rainy and gloomy weather as soon as we landed. Here, we were in the middle of Scotland with my two suitcases, which I had reduced to 40 kilograms, in a single moment! I didn’t understand much at the airport before. When we paid 12 pounds per person for a bus from Edinburgh airport to Glasgow city centre, I said “wow, we started well”. Throughout the bus, we watched the window, the houses, the trees and the lush nature.. We examined every single detail. we are fascinated. As we got closer to the center, we got excited, scared and curious.. I didn’t fit inside me. It wasn’t hard to carry those suitcases.. I can say that we experienced the feeling of 4 seasons together.. This feeling is different! It makes people feel alive
“….We examined every single detail. we are fascinated. As we got closer to the center, we got excited, scared and curious.. It didn’t fit inside me…”
Student in Scotland
Let’s come to one of the most curious. How is studying in Scotland? Can you tell us about your university, the city you live in, Glasgow?. How is the student? It has advantages and disadvantages. Once there are tons of international students like you. That’s why everyone is used to this situation and welcomes you with understanding.. Everyone is afraid of that at first. What if I don’t understand the lessons? Exams? How did you cope? Friends, don’t expect to understand the lessons at first anyway Even if you take Ielts at 7, you don’t understand a word when you first go. They have a great system. It has modules. The slides and attachments of each taught lesson are uploaded to your student module. In other words, you can look at the topics covered in the lesson again and again when you go home.. Don’t worry, everything settles in time.. Not much in the exam.. At least that’s how it was in the ‘Cancer Science’ department at the University of Glasgow. It can vary from department to department, from university to university.. You usually hand in homework. And financially, everything is discounted for students.. There are crazy discounts from stores to restaurants.
“Let me introduce İrem’s youtube channel“
How is it to do a master’s degree in Scotland? I am curious about research opportunities, doctorate chances, etc. academically.
Scotland and England, in short, the countries of the United Kingdom are like a trade center created for this job.. Everything is systematized. Aacademicly doing a master’s degree in the UK, like a continuation of the license. 1 year unlike other countries. 3 years for doctorate. In the master program, you take each course individually and the latest average is taken.. You don’t have to worry about getting below the limit in a course.. You can save the situation by getting higher in the next lesson.. After giving the courses, the thesis period comes and you are assigned a teacher.. At least that’s how it went at the University of Glasgow.. Both your professors and the university are ready to help you meet whatever you need in master and doctorate.. course, whatever you need. It is not difficult to reach the teachers.. They get back to you without any delay.. Student affairs as well.. no hold. For some reason, they keep waiting and delaying in the acceptance process.. They like to proceed confidently, in this sense, the rules are a bit strict, they said.
“…It doesn’t hurt your pocket to go to Lana del Rey concert when you are even forced to go to Teoman concert….”
You were also a resident of Scotland ? What was it like living in Scotland? Are the living conditions in Scotland really as good as it is exaggerated, is it expensive? Did you have any difficulties as a Turk?
I can say that my life in Scotland was peaceful. If the living conditions are in pounds according to the unit currency of the rate, that is, the salary or scholarship you receive is really very good.. I can say that my living standards have increased 5-6 times compared to Turkey.. Moreover, although the YLSY scholarship is below the minimum wage,. Maybe I’ve visited brands that I wouldn’t normally buy, places I wouldn’t be able to visit.. I can say that I did things in 6 months that I couldn’t do in 6 years.. With student scholarship. While you are sometimes forced to go to the Teoman concert here, it never hurts to go to the Christina Aguilera, Lana del Rey concert there. You can go to these concerts and festivals for the price of a normal evening activity.. everything has a limit. No exaggerated prices. There is no point of view that people have to rent anyway.. Even if you want to find a rental house for 3,000 pounds, you cannot find it.. The most expensive, most luxurious rentals end at £1,500. You can stay in brand new homes with immaculate furnishings for 600-800 pounds. For 30 pounds a week, you can fill your kitchen cupboard for basic supplies for two.. We were allocating 200 pounds of kitchen supplies per month for 2 people, and the drawers, cupboards were getting full.. Food and activities are very cheap. Car prices are very cheap. You can have a very clean car for 2,000 pounds.. The only expensive thing is school fees. He’s also 3. this way for class countries. School fees range between £15,000-25,000 per year for us.
“…I can say that life in Scotland was peaceful…”
Living in Scotland, Language School and Residence Permit
Scotland I’m sure there are thousands of people who want to study a language school, graduate or university in Turkey.. What kind of way would you recommend to these friends?
My first suggestion is that you don’t come to Scotland for language school.. They speak very dialect and it would not be right for me to recommend these places when starting from the basics.. Edinburgh maybe for those who say Scotland. London is the most expensive city in the UK, but with a language course, you can go for accommodation with package prices.. The most recommended place is Brighton. I think Brighton is really the first city to be preferred for language courses.. For master’s and doctorate, it can be a real risk to study because the annual fees of the schools are very expensive.. If we trust our proposals and grade point averages, it may be the first step to start communicating with the professors by e-mailing them. There may be an opportunity for scholarship student quotas.. Friends who will go to doctorate can also look at opportunities on the ‘FindaPhd’ site.. Or they can try their luck with a YLSY scholarship, just like us.
Have you ever thought of living in Scotland permanently? How do you think the residence permit and job opportunities are in Scotland?
Let’s say UK, it is not easy to get a residence permit for UK countries.. You must have lived there for 5 years. And that doesn’t count the years we spent as students.. But as there are international students, there are also many international immigrants working in normal jobs.. Young population is low. They need a young workforce. Anything is possible by commuting to study, chasing job opportunities and building the environment. UDespite the gloomy atmosphere of K, as someone who has lived there for a year and a half, yes, I would like to live there permanently. Because the living standards are so high.
Suggestions for Visiting Scotland
Now let’s move on to some more fun topics. As I see it, you like to travel as much as we do.. Can you tell us about the places that impressed you the most among the places you visited in Scotland?
You might think that I gave a boring answer to this fun question by saying museums.. But the huge museums in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland really fascinate you.. Do you think there would be a fun museum?. 2. The lush nature that impresses me the most. Because of the climate and rains, everywhere is lush, light green.. And it has been preserved. Finally, the Harry Potter Studios in London, which I remember most as the place I was most fascinated by. A huge studio that Harry Potter lovers should definitely visit. Almost as big as the town.. For those who are interested, there is a vlog of this in my first videos on my channel..
“…If you have more time, visit Oban and Largs to witness the perfect nature …” / Largs, Scotland where should we go, what should we do to have a nice trip in Scotland?
Hmm.. For example, if you have a week, you can travel between cities at reasonable prices by train. So you can see more than one city.. While traveling by train, you witness the life in those rural areas.. I’m sure you won’t take your eyes off it for a minute.. Glasgow, Edinburgh are the biggest cities and there are so many places to visit. Priority should be given to these two cities. Especially for Edinburgh, Scott Monument, Scottish National Museum, Edinburgh castle are among the must-see places. In Glasgow, I can say that the university itself is a museum.. First place to see. Later Kelvingrove museum. I’m sure even someone who doesn’t like museums will be interested.. I can’t say that they have very different tastes for eating and drinking, but I recommend that you do not return without trying a Scottish Breakfast and trying their famous fruit beers and colorful cocktails that are at least as cheap as beer.. Let alone the houses, even the cafes are historical.. Wherever you go, you will feel the breezes of history. That’s why, even if you wander randomly, everywhere is different.. :)) If you have more time, visit Oban and Largs to witness the perfect nature
Time to close the interview ? Thank you for the information you gave us, you took the time to. I hope you will achieve many more successes in your education and business life.. Now, finally, if you have anything you want to talk about apart from all these questions, we can listen to them, you shouldn’t forget your youtube channel ? and I will ask you to close by telling you a pleasant moment in Scotland ?
What do you mean, it was a pleasure for me to write. I wrote with pleasure. If you happen to be in Scotland, we are waiting for you If they had asked me during my university years, I would not have thought that I would live abroad for a certain period of my life. I always had a hard time with English.. That’s why I was not very good at mustering my courage, even though I dreamed of such a thing, apart from traveling as a tourist.. And at a time when I was undecided whether to go or not, speeches of courage were whispered in my ear from all over.. The universe really has a sense of humor.
“…If they had asked me during my university years, I would not have thought that I would live abroad for a certain period of my life…”
A random pedestrian passed by me on a channel I listened to on the radio, the TV series I watched, the book I read, without trying it and watching life from afar. I was beginning to hear a lot of similar things that we would never succeed and that it was time to act. And finally I made this decision to gather my strength and go.. Now I say that the quota for the TUS exam was not opened, but a much more beautiful door that I could barely dream of opened before me.. We should not forget that sometimes when we are sad about the closing of a door, a better one can come our way.. And we should not miss the opportunities that come our way while we are sad about the previous one.
Finally, living and studying abroad for a certain period of time greatly improves one’s vision.. In terms of economy, you will realize that you can do the things you have aimed for years in a short time. You will realize that your horizons and cultural level are evolving without you realizing it.. I think I’ve said all I have to say, I think with the right motivation we could even go into space. I would be very happy if I could cause some motivation increase too.. We need this as a country because. All the best
We thank you İrem for all the good information you share and for your inspiring story, I wish you many successes!

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.

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!

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…

And to the bottom aren’t they built?
Sweetly narrowing the top floors…
I admit that I saw the aerial view of these house-filled streets and fell in love with Gdansk and I thought I should see it. . Yes, maybe I won’t be able to see it from the air, but I’ll still see it.
“The top floors, which narrow down sweetly…”
There Could Be A Modern Building Without Destroying The City!
But here it is one thing to visit and see another photo of it.. The photos did not have modern siblings of these typical Gdansk houses either!
Yes, as a civil engineer, I noticed the modern buildings in Gdansk from the very first minute. Because the modern structures here are “we are modern” They don’t smirk They went and built with a nice modern interpretation of architecture similar to their old brothers.
I can’t say I’m not impressed with this work, Gdansk can still be visited after 50 years…
Modern Gdansk Houses I Like Very Much, There Are Some More Futuristic As Well… These Also Provided a Nice Transition / Modern-Old
Is Crane One Of The Attractions In Gdansk?
Now by the riverside While walking on the promenade called “Deptak Nadwodny”, I see one of the first things that come to mind when I think of places to visit in Gdansk.
What is that Crane?
Interesting place in Gdansk Crane The River And The Crane Look Better Here
Yes “Crane” is one of the interesting structures in Gdansk. This used to be a crane building used to load ships. If I said old, of course.. century is quite old The original state is destroyed, but the current one is worth seeing.
There is the Black Pearl of the pirates of the caribbean a little further ahead, there are nice photos, try it here…
Black Pearl is also here <
Like the Harry Potter Scene: Mariacka Street!
I’m diving down the river into Mariacka Street now
Mariacka at first sight became my favorite place in this city!
I feel like I’m on the street where I’m going to choose a wand for Hogwarts. “Hagrid, where do we get the wand?”
Can it be without a photo Mariacka Street
In Gdansk, you can feel an interestingly slightly British air; mysterious buildings painted in a depressing style, staircases in front of houses small courtyards and magnificent artistic details…
These small courtyard houses on Mariacka Street are boutique shops! Local products, gifts or jewellery, whatever you are looking for. All meticulously furnished with excellent details, this place can be studied for a few hours.
Magnets Here from the Map Detailed Shops in Mariacka Are So Sweet
Across the river side of the street, the huge St.. Mary’s Church…
Undoubtedly, it is one of the most magnificent buildings in the city, you can go inside and have a look at it.. Mary’s Church Is Also Visible
The Rain Follows Me
Just at that moment I’m being caught in the rain!
If it rains, I have a solution; raincoat and my umbrella…
Now it’s time where the heart of Gdansk beats; Long Sunday!
Long Sunday With Shaking Rain
Long Sunday
Long Sunday ie Długi Targ is a classic Polish style market-square. I don’t know why these guys built such thin and long squares, but it happened
As the name suggests, this is a long market area. If I said market, it means small peddlers and generally the shops lined up along the square, better if I say square…
Long Market / Długi Targ
You can see the most beautiful of the typical cute pencil houses of Gdansk that I mentioned in the Long Market.. The ones here are a little more historical and have wonderful decorations.
Also, I think the most eye-catching structure of the square is Gdansk Town Hall.
Gdansk Town Hall with its golden inlaid tower and legendary beauty. The clock may be the most magnificent structure in this city!
The Long Market and the Magnificent Gdansk Town Hall
Gdansk, the City of Gates
My market is at one end of the street, the Golden Gate is at the riverside end there is also the Green Door…
I forgot to mention; Gdansk is the city of gates
You can often see these gates in the old city centre.. It is generally built like 2-3 storey private buildings and has arch-shaped openings from the inside and you enter and exit the square and the street from there.. Especially the Golden Gate is another beautiful one, don’t miss it…
I’ll be visiting soon The Golden Gate / The surprise is gone! The Sun Is Clearly Opening The Gates of Gdansk: This Green Gate by the River
Is it a Rainbow?
And these gates are rain shields for me! Because I’m stuck at the door leading to the river from Long Market, it’s raining heavily
But a few minutes later, “the sun?”
If there’s rain and sun, let the rainbow come !
My Rain Shield Behind the Green Door I Watch Gdansk with Rain and Sun; Delicious!
Things suddenly turn upside down in Gdansk, it’s sunny now
The weather in the city has really changed with the sun and rainbow. Those depressing houses have turned into bright spring colors, now It’s time to wander the streets and take photos a lot.
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
