Turkey - Comenius Project - Places

We did some cultural stuff too. Like visit some places and see some stuff...

No honestly we did mmh absorb lots of new information.

There was the 24hr-long trip to GALLIPOLI and around
I did not sleep. Maybe 30 to 40 mins but well, these were more like heat-induced conscienceless moments. And the bus was overheated compared to the outside (30°, can you imagine), which resulted into turning me into some human-shaped singing jellyfish.
But it was fun :)


The essence of the trip from my point of view: starring out of the bus window in a vague state of awakeness, trying not to die melting


I visited Troy, I did.


I even wandered near the ruins but I got caught by the Trojan horse and never made it into the city


Then there was IZMIR, not far from Manisa, but closer to the sea... Second city in Turkey or so they told me. We went shopping there :)


Izmir airport, our first steps on turkish land...


Izmir at night


And finally EPHESUS with its worldwide reputation...


They say the wine is famous... I was told it wasn't amazing. But well =)


Now, this is one of the 7 Wonders, so behold


It was a lot bigger but i didn't take the time to photograph every other corner of that huge village-like temple
