Jordan Travel Guide and Preparation for Jordan Trip
Jordan travel guide: Jordan places to visit and Jordan trip preparation guide
Jordan travel guide; We have a long holiday every year during New Year’s Eve.. We will save the place we want to see the most that year for last and go during this period.. This year’s winner was clear from the start. Now we must see Petra with our own eyes, spend the night in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum and take us to the air in the salty water of Oludeniz (Lut Lake) we should have let it fly. It was Jordan time!
Every trip is special for us, because we caught the travel virus years ago. But there are some trips that penetrate us, transform us, and teach us what we’ve never even dreamed of before.. Jordan was one of them.. It affected us deeply, and all our prejudices about the Middle East suddenly disappeared.
We learned something else at the age of 28; that ‘voice of the East’, which we always feared, was not scary everywhere and always.. At the same time, the East was fascinating, breathtaking and instructive.. As long as we know how to listen..
If your Jordan ticket is ready in your pocket, and you are ready for the romance of the East, we start the story! ☺
Jordan Travel Guide in our preparation article; How was our Jordan Travel route, how did we plan our Jordan route, Jordan’ also transportation, stay in Jordan, when to go to Jordan, Is Jordan dangerous?, Jordan’ We will tell you one by one in order to eat and drink, our preparations in Jordan, Is Jordan expensive?. Places to visit in Jordan and the places we visited in Jordan, what you need to know before going to Jordan, we keep in detail in our second article. If we’ve fastened our belts, let’s get started!
Jordan Travel Guide
Where is Jordan, Our Jordan Travel Route – How to Plan Jordan Travel Route? And is Jordan dangerous?
Jordan in the Middle East. Israel is surrounded by Arabia, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Its past (and unfortunately even its future) is in a very dangerous geography, but Jordan is an extremely safe country.. It is extra safe especially for tourists because extra security is applied in places where you will visit as a tourist.. Should I get vaccinated before I go to Jordan? No, you don’t need any vaccinations before you go either.. Rest assured, Jordan is not dangerous.. ☺ They also love Turks too much. When you say you come from Turkey when things get messy, it opens all the doors..
The Subject of Clothing in Jordan
What kind of clothing should be worn in Jordan?
The only thing we could not calculate before we went was the subject of clothing. In Petra, Oludeniz and Wadi Rum, dress is not a problem, as long as you do not overdo it, you will be comfortable with any outfit, but Amman You better be a little careful. Since their own women do not wear tight pants, shorts, short skirts, the public is not accustomed to mini-tight dresses and low-cut dresses.. Of course they don’t do anything, but they look confused.. As you can see, you may have to give up mini dresses in Amman..
Is Jordan expensive?
Perhaps you, like us, are wondering if Is Jordan expensive. We can say as follows; Jordan is not an expensive country as we fear without leaving, but it is not cheap either.. Although it is quite expensive to eat in touristic places, we also tried local places and had a trip that was as expensive as an average European city.. 1 Jordanian Dinar (JOD) is 1.23 Euros at today’s exchange rate. So that the article does not confuse all the costs, we wrote in Euros. We will also write a detailed article about our Jordan travel budget and Jordan travel expenses.
Jordan Travel Route and Places to See in Jordan
As for our Jordan Travel route ; In our opinion, there are 3 places that must be visited in Jordan. Petra, Wadi Rum and Oludeniz.
If the capital city of Jordan is Amman, how can we say, it is different.. We don’t want to say it’s bad, but when you reach the city, you come across a cloud of dust.. The whole city looks like a cloud of dust. If you spare 1 day, a different experience is waiting for you!
Jerash Ancient City
Jerash Ancient City, a Roman ancient city one hour away from Amman, and your time If so, it definitely deserves to be seen.
Aqaba
If you’re interested in diving, you can add the city of Aqaba by the Red Sea to the end (or beginning, depending on where you’re flying) of the trip.
Our Jordan itinerary was exactly as follows;
Day 1 Amman:
From Prague to Amman with Ryanair we flew, we were in Amman early in the morning and we had a full day in the city. We stayed in Amman for 1 night.
2. day Jerash:
The second day we went to Jerash 1 hour away early. It is necessary to spend at least a half day in Jerash. This is an ancient city left over from the Romans, one step further is the poor slums of Jordan.. You experience a very sharp transition when entering, a different feeling.. After spending the day in Jerash, we reached Ölüdeniz in the evening with a 2-hour journey.. We spent the night here.
3. Day Oludeniz (Dead Lake) and Ma’in Hot Springs:
We said we arrived at Ölüdeniz (Death Lake) at night. The next day we were around Ölüdeniz all day.. First we visited the salt rocks, then we had some fun swimming in Ölüdeniz.. If we had come between April and October, we would have liked to do ‘canyoning’ in Wadi Mujib. However, outside of these months, Wadi Mujib is closed.
On our way from Ölüdeniz to Wadi Rum, we also stopped by Ma’in Hot Springs in the Ölüdeniz region. Let’s write it. Ma’in Hot Springs is a hot spring facility and you can use the hot water pool of the facility for 18 Euros.. Frankly, it was a bit expensive for us, but we wanted to try it because we were succumbing to our curiosity.. Well, it can be tried if you have time, this is the only thing we did in Jordan that we didn’t like. ☺
If you have time, make sure to spend 1 night in Ölüdeniz. You can even spare two days if Wadi Mujib is in the plans.
4. overnight in Wadi Rum and overnight in Bedouin camp:
It takes approximately 2.5 hours to reach Petra from Ölüdeniz, and 4.5 hours to reach Wadi Rum.. In order to make our Petra visit to one of the Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays when Petra by Night takes place, we first passed from Ölüdeniz to Wadi Rum.
Accommodation in Bedouin Tents in Wadi Rum
It was night when we reached Wadi Rum and we spent that night in a Bedouin camp in the desert.. It was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had.. We will write at length in a separate article.. We highly recommend spending a night in the desert of Lawrence of Arabia. You can also book the Bedouin camps we mentioned online.
Is it Safe to Stay in Bedouin Tents in Jordan?
The answer to this question is absolutely yes!
Wadi Desert Safari in Rum
After waking up in the desert, we did a desert safari until the afternoon. For jeeple safari, you can choose one of the 2-hour, 4-hour or all-day tours.. We chose half day. After returning, we watched the sunset at a place that we had caught our eye, and took the turn.. After a 2.5-hour journey, we were in Petra.
We found a hotel 5 minutes walking distance from Petra and stayed there overnight.
5. day Petra:
5. We woke up at 5 am and were at Petra’s entrance at 6:30 am, just at Petra’s opening time.. We’ve had feelings for the 2200-year-old ancient city of Petra for a long time…finally, it was time to meet!
We toured Petra from start to finish, winding and walking until our feet were blistered.. After all, we have never seen such a beautiful ancient city. 1 full day is a must for Petra, we suggest you even spare 1.5 days and 2 days if available.. Petra is so big, we walked 30 km just inside Petra. Be sure to bring your sports shoes with you.
And the most expensive thing in Jordan was the entrance to Petra. Petra Ancient City costs about 65 Euros per person. So go early so you’ve used 65 Euros to the fullest.. ☺)
Petra by Night
On the same night, we watched Petra by Night, which started at 8:30 am.. Petra’s illuminated state was magnificent. Petra by Night admission 21 JOD per person. You can check the tickets on this site.
6. day: Return from Amman to Istanbul
6. day awakening and closing as you can see. ☺
If we had 1 more day and we were interested in diving, we could have added Aqaba to this route, but we were very satisfied with our route.. If you only have 4 days in Jordan, you can take Amman off the route. Other than that, if you have more time and are interested in nature walks, you can climb in Dana.
Transport to Jordan and Transportation in Jordan
Jordan from Turkey Does it require a visa?
Jordan does not require a visa from a citizen of the Republic of Turkey and you can literally enter by waving your hand (unless otherwise). No form or anything. We can say that the country we entered the most comfortably was Jordan.. A visa that can be obtained by paying 50 Euros at the entrance is required from many European countries.. You will be surprised how useful being a Turk will be in Jordan.
Although Jordan is actually close to Turkey in terms of distance, tickets can be quite expensive compared to the distance.
You can fly directly or indirectly to Amman or Aqaba from Istanbul with Turkish Airlines or Pegasus.. If you buy the tickets from Amman to Aqaba, you can fly from Aqaba instead of returning from Wadi Rum to Amman, it will be much easier.
Since we live in Munich, we immediately took the cheap flight from Prague to Amman when we found it.. Munich – Prague takes 3.5 hours. From there it took about 4 hours by plane to Amman.
Once we’ve dealt with reaching Jordan, now it’s time to get from one place to another in Jordan! ☺
Car Rental in Jordan
We have only one recommendation for transportation in Jordan; Rent a car in Jordan if you have a driver’s license. It will suit you better in every way. There is hardly any public transport in Jordan and even if there is, the clock will not fit the clock.. If you want to go from one place to another by taxi, the distances are not that close.
We rented the car from rentalcars.com as usual. In general, we search according to the dates we will go and choose one of the most suitable options.. We paid 110 Euros for a 6-day car rental.. We traveled a total of 1000 km in 5 days and spent about 100 Euros on benzene.. We think that a car is not necessary for most of the countries we will visit, but renting a car in Jordanwill make your life much easier.. We don’t look elsewhere if we are going to rent a car, as Rentalscars is safe and shows all available options.. We left the link here.
And during your trip to Jordan, you will feel that you are in the Middle East the most (perhaps only) while driving.. Every half hour, a police officer turns you around, checks your appearance and shows you your documents.. We never understood what they are stopping by whom.. If they stop you, you can make eye contact and say ‘Selam Aleykum’ and go directly.. It’s like a ‘free pass’ in Jordan!
Apart from that, it goes without saying that people sometimes drive crazy and the roads are rough in some places.. We have traveled at night twice, but we do not recommend it. Travel during the day as much as you can.
Be very, very careful! There are no lights on the roads at night and people can stop in the middle of the road or a truck with the lights completely off may break down.
If you haven’t rented a car and will travel by bus, you can check the website of the ‘Jett’ company.. We left it here.
Arranging a Daily Taxi in Jordan
Even if you do not have the option of renting a car, you can find a local person at the hotels you go to and arrange a taxi with a daily driver.. Maybe it will cost you a little more than renting a car, but it will make you comfortable.
If we have taken care of the transportation issue, it’s time for the accommodation business!
Accommodation in Jordan
Because tourism in Jordan is highly developed, it is low according to your taste wherever you go, You can find mid-budget and luxury hotels.. One of the countries where we found the most comfortable hotel has been Jordan so far.
Accommodation in Amman
Our recommendation for accommodation in Amman is to choose a 3 or 4 star hotel instead of boutique hotel options if your budget is suitable.. It is possible to find a 3-star hotel for 50 – 60 Euros per night.. We had chosen a boutique hotel, but we regretted it.. In the already chaotic environment of Amman, we got a little nervous when we said a tiny hotel room that fell on us.. There’s no need to be bohemian, sorry! If you would like NOT to stay, the name of the hotel is ‘Amman Boutique Hotel’.
Oludeniz(Lot Lake) Accommodation
Deadsea Ramada ‘Deadsea Ramada’ in Ölüdeniz(Lot of Dead) We stayed at and it was pretty good. We paid 60 Euros per room per night, including breakfast.
Recommendations for Accommodation in Petra
One night in a Bedouin camp in Petra (we’re getting to that point) and one night in ‘La Maison Hotel Petra. We were very happy here too.. We paid 60 Euros per night including breakfast.
By the way, when we talk about these hotels, we say ‘good’, this ‘good’ is of course a ‘good’ in Middle Eastern standards.. So don’t expect a jacuzzi in the hotel room.. ☺
Let’s come to the famous Bedouin tents part…!
Bedouin Tent Accommodation in Petra
Petra also has many Bedouin camps lined up in the ‘Little Petra’ area close to Petra. However, we were not as impressed with the Bedouin camps here as a Wadi Rum, as it is easier to reach the camps here and Petra is a very touristic place.. Still, if not in Wadi Rum, you can try it here.. Ours was called ‘7 Wonders Bedouin Camp‘.
Wadi Rum Accommodation Recommendations
One Night in a Bedouin Tent in the Desert in Wadi Rum
We were looking at the photos (as usual) before we went to Jordan and We were shot when we saw a photo of a Bedouin camp in the middle of nowhere in Wadi Rum, the desert of Worth Lawrence.. We should have stayed in a camp in that desert too. At that moment the decision was made.
For accommodation in the desert in Wadi Rum, you first choose the Bedouin camp from the internet (we used booking.com). Then they contact you and ask for your Whatsapp number and ask for the time you will arrive.. Then you meet at the entrance of the desert at that hour and they drop you off at the camp.
There are many Bedouin camps large and small in the desert. Generally, each camp has 9-10 two-person tents and one large Bedouin tent where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served.. Bedouins always offer you tea in that tent.. There is also a shared toilet and shower.. Every camp is more or less the same.. Except for the super luxury camps, of course.. We didn’t choose such a camp, luckily we didn’t.. We paid 15 Euros per person per night, including breakfast, for our own camp.
Bedouins have been living in this region for millennia and have learned to make tourists comfortable.. In addition, the camps are quite safe, we did not feel uneasy even for a second.. The name of our camp was ‘Wadi Rum Sky Camp & Tours‘.
We can easily say that our best experience in Jordan is to spend a quiet and unforgettable night in Wadi Rum, watching the stars in the desert, drinking the constantly offered Bedouin tea.
What about Jordan? when to go?
When is the best time to go to Jordan?
If you think when to go to Jordan, you can always go. We went at the end of December and still we were able to swim in Ölüdeniz and spend the night in a tent without a heater in the desert.
If you go in the summer time, Petra and Wadi Rum may have a hard time as it is extremely hot, and you may feel a little cold in the camps in winter time.. Also, the temperature drops 10-15 degrees in the desert climate at night, but you can always visit Jordan by taking the right clothes with you.. They say that September – October is the most ideal time.
When is Wadi Mujib open?
The famous Wadi Mujib canyon is open from April to October. We can say that it was the only place we missed because we went in December.
The chapter of Eating and Drinking in Jordan
We titled it like this because we have never had such a pleasant meal in any country we have visited for a long time! Being away from Turkish food for months, Jordanian cuisine being very similar to our taste, and having come across good food all the time, we ate too much, but we ate too much!
Jordan’s national food hummus and falafel. These two will appear everywhere; either as street food or in the most luxurious restaurant. Apart from that, dishes with eggplant, desserts with syrup and meatballs with sauce are similar to our cuisine.
What we want to tell you here is the trouble of “Will I go hungry in Jordan”! Because you will not have such a problem, enjoy yourselves in advance. ☺
Finally, let’s talk about the preparations we made before going to Jordan;
Things to Do Before Going to Jordan
Actually, we didn’t make any preparations before we went to Jordan.. ☺ This part may surprise you a bit, but believe me, we had no preparations other than having chosen the camps we will stay in Petra and Wadi Rum 2 months in advance.. We always choose hotels in other cities at the last minute.
Suitable clothes for the desert in Jordan
We bring 1 very comfortable shoes, thick socks and underwear in case you need them in the desert, a bikini and slippers for swimming in Ölüdeniz, a medium-thick coat and we bought a few items and didn’t need anything additional. That’s it!
Then Jordan Travel Guide: The Jordan Travel Preparation Guide is finished!
Now, you too are ready for Jordan!
Our next Jordan article will be ‘Places to Visit in Jordan‘.
Have a nice trip everyone!
We are on Instagram and we are waiting for you.

By the way For other articles of the blog, you can start here.
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…
Gdansk Overview / Famous “Pencil Houses” of the City
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…
It wasn’t a very good start, but I’m welcome Poland
Trying to go to Gdansk Glowny <
Finally Gdansk!
If the plane landed so hard, you should also think below, it’s as if I don’t come from the Norwegian fjords but went there, it’s so cold, wind, rain all together…
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…
Hello Gdansk / My First View in the City / Going to a Hostel
About Gdansk
Good morning from Gdanks!
This is Poland’ A city located on the Baltic Sea in the north of. Actually I visited all the Baltic countries and I loved it very much, but they said to Gdansk that this is Poland, you are not exactly Baltic
I mean this is Poland but Gdansk I think It’s even more beautiful than Poland…
Morning Hours / Walking By Motlawa
I’ve visited the capital Warsaw before, but now Gdansk is getting me pretty excited, let’s see what we’ll see…
Since my hostel is located at the northern end of the city, I also start walking from the riverside towards the center.
Yes, Gdansk is a typical Baltic city… I say that this city also has islands, rivers and plenty of water
strong>
Too Much Wind, But Not Without a Selfie
The Spirit of Gdansk: Motlawa River
Our River is Motlawa!
If I follow the Motlawa river, Gdansk’ It means I can almost completely tour the city. Because the city consists of this city and the small islands it surrounds.
First of all, when I come across a beautiful Gdansk text, she says OK. um I’m in the right place…
I Love Those City Names You Must See Me To Understand The Wind…
The Famous Cute Pencil Houses of Gdansk
The first thing I want to tell you in Gdansk is actually Houses that make up the unique architecture of this city.
In fact, although you can see similar ones in other cities of Germany and Poland in general, the ones here are more characteristic.. Thin and long, crooked, colorful houses like pencils!
Famous Pencil Houses of Gdansk / I Found This Name If I Found It In The Sun From The Tip, A Selfie Immediately…
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
The Other Side of the Golden Gate and the Starting Point of the Modern City, The Shopping Center Just Opposite the Long Market , Trams and Wide Streets A Little Beyond the Shrin You Can See These Types of Buildings Now Some Gdansk Travel Tips!
