UK student reading week trip to Turkey.

UK student reading week trip to Turkey (return post)|||I went to Turkey with a good friend during reading week. The e-visa only took 10 minutes to apply for, and it wasn't too far away, so we both agreed on it. Because of the recent terrorist attack in Turkey, we were a little worried, so we decided to join a local tour group for some peace of mind. We didn't need to plan anything and could just relax and enjoy the trip. . We only had a week, so we only spent five days in two cities: Istanbul and Cappadocia. We visited some classic attractions, such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Goreme Town. We also tried some activities, such as a Bosphorus cruise, hot air balloon ride, and a ride in a popular vintage car. Overall, the five-day itinerary was well planned, and we had a great time! . 📝Some tips 1. Women need to wear a headscarf and cover their arms and legs when entering the Blue Mosque. 2. Students should bring their student ID cards, as many attractions offer discounts. 3. Don't exchange money at the airport, as the exchange rate is high. Wait until you get to the city center. 4. If you want to take a hot air balloon ride, book in advance and check the weather. 5. Watch out for dual pricing and don't get ripped off. 6. Bring a warm coat, as the temperature difference between morning and evening in Cappadocia is huge. It can be very cold in the morning when watching the hot air balloons. . 👉Tour experience We were satisfied with the whole trip. The car was a seven-seater, so we could sit or lie down comfortably. The driver drove steadily, and I didn't feel carsick at all. The hotels were star-rated and very clean, and we stayed in a cave hotel for one night. At the attractions, the guide would give us a brief introduction, and then we could take photos and check in at our own pace. It was very free and easy. If you're still wondering where to go during reading week, Turkey is a great choice!
