Going Back In Time In Ephesus

It would take 3,5 hours to get to Selcuk from Denizli. We decided to take the train instead of the bus because it’s faster and cheaper. No idea why the bus transport is more developed since it’s not always the most handy transportation for long distances. The next day we wanted to visit the theatre of Ephesus. The receptionist at the hotel and some other travelers told us we didn’t need more time than just 4 or 5 hours, so we…

Cotton-Candy Pamukkale

Bus tickets from Bodrum to Denizli (5 hours) cost 30 lira per person. From Denizli you have to take the local bus towards Pamukkale (10 minutes) which cost 3,50 lira per person. The place is a must-see apparantly because of its unique geological formations and historical remains, so I was very curious how we were going to experience it. We had always two essential things during long bus journeys; food/drinks and many serials/movies on Farhang’s laptop to keep us entertained. I…

What’s So Special About Bodrum?

The night ferry to Kos would depart at 00.50 am and we would arrive there around 5.45 am. Although it was a luxurious ferry with cosy little couches to sleep on, I didn’t get much sleep. When we got in Kos early in the morning, we had to wait till 9 am again to take the next ferry to Bodrum. We reached there one hour later and I was actually exhausted. My legs still hurt a lot, I hadn’t slept…

Day 5: Goodbye Santorini

Day 5: Today was our last day in Santorini, so we wanted to make the most out of it and see some other parts of the island. There are many places where you can rent bikes or ATVs for a cheap price, so we decided to do that (and also my legs wouldn’t cooperate after the 4,5-hours walk/hiking of yesterday). We rent a bike for 25 euros for a whole day and rode to Pyrgos and some other small villages…

Day 3 + 4: Chilling & Exploring Santorini

Day 3: Farhang suggested to do NOTHING today. After our breakfast, we put our sun beds at our balcony and just lay down, did some reading, writing and listening to music. We haven’t been able to chill for such a long time, that we actually have to learn again how to adjust our mindset to a chill modus without any stress or other hassles. Man, how we enjoyed that. After that I was all zen. Day 4: We wanted to do something…
