Plan for Turkey Trip 行程策划

警告:这是一篇冗长的博文
Warning: This is a long winding post

如果你有阅读我的土耳其行程博文,你就知道土耳其之旅对我来说是何等神圣的,而我有多么期待这趟旅程的。因此,我真的比平时更认真的去准备这趟旅程,明明就是个12天,4个地区的旅程,我偏偏花了几个月的时间一直重复看reviews,看travelogues来准备此行程。我真的很乐意和大家分享我这次旅行所看到的,和读到的资料,所以就花了一点时间准备今天这篇blogpost,希望可以帮到那些要到土耳其自助游的同学。
Hello all, for those who read my previous blog post, I believe you know how meaningful is this Turkey trip to me and how much I looking forward to this trip. It was just a 12 days trip that covered 4 areas(Fethiye, Pamukkale, Cappadocia and Istanbul), but I read the same reviews and travelogues for multiple times, even spent lots of time to search for tips and guides for the trip. I willing to share all the information I got for this trip with you all, that why I writing this post for those who planning for a Free&Easy trip to Turkey. 

行程编排篇 Plan for Itinerary
多看多阅读游记,马来西亚的游记很少,建议大家到蚂蜂窝去找找看。你看了游记后,就会发现,Istanbul和Cappadocia是各位一定要到的地方,Istanbul嘛,土耳其最大的城市,一定要看;Cappadocia嘛,还不是为了热气球。
其他景点则是有棉花堡的Pammukale,可以玩滑翔伞俯瞰死海的Fethiye,有最完整的古迹的Izmir,Mt Nemrut人头山的日出,地中海的沿岸城市Antalya,旋转舞的起源地Konya,有鄂图曼时期建筑的Safranbolu等等。
其实,我们可以把Izmir和Safranbolu挤入我们12天的行程,但考虑到会变成走马看花的旅程,我们就只是focus在那4个景点而已。
The best way to draft your itinerary is to read more on the travelogues written by others(just like you are reading mine now, hehe~). Based on my reading, I would conclude that Istanbul and Cappadocia are the cities that highly rated as must go by other travelers. Besides these 2 cities, others also recommends to visit Pammukale (Cotton Castle), Paraglide in Fethiye, Izmir (former Greek City), the beautiful Mediterranean coastline at Antalya, etc.

温馨提醒
1)建议你们可以把行程打印出来或是转换成PDF储存在电话里。
2)2016年的世博就在土耳其的Antalya,所以大家也许可以到此一游哦~

Travel tips
1) To print out or save a copy of your itinerary in PDF inside your phone/tablet.
2) Antalya is the host of World Expo 2016, so why not pay a visit to Antalya? 

交通篇Transportation

吉隆坡飞往伊斯坦堡的国际航空 International flight between KL and Istanbul
之前马航有直飞Istanbul,不过今年6月却取消了该航班,所以现在唯一有直飞Istanbul的航空只剩下土耳其航空。
我们是今年5月初买了Etihad航空机票,一个人RM2500,在Abu Dhabi转机。
KL-Abu Dhabi 8小时,Abu Dhabi-Istanbul 5小时。
其实我还蛮推荐大家乘搭中东航空如Qatar,Etihad和Emirates到土耳其的,价格便宜服务又好,这3家航空几乎每年都登上skytrax的10大Best Airline的龙虎榜。根据我所留意到的价钱,如果你临出发前的1年买机票的话,可以以RM1999入手(需要转机一趟)。
Currently, Turkish Airline is the only airline that fly directly from KL to Istanbul.
We bought the Etihad Airline ticket to Istanbul at RM2500 in May, well it wasn't the cheapest deal. Anyway, from what I noticed, you able to get a return ticket(need to transit once) at RM1999 if you got the ticket 1 year before departure. 
The flight duration between KL and Abu Dhabi is 8 hours and Abu Dhabi to Istanbul is 5 hours.

 座位安排 Seat arrangement :2-4-2
 每个座位前都有个荧幕电视,左边有个USB port让你可以在飞行时为手机充电。
座位上也有耳机(需退还),枕头和棉被(可拿下飞机,我就拿了2个棉被)。
There is a TV screen, earphone, neck pillow, and blanket at each seat.
How good if they can give a pair of in-flight slippers. 
对于一个155cm的我来说,我有足够的leg room。 
Enough leg room for a 155cm shorty like me.
只有夜班机才有的包包。
Sleep tight pouch which is only available for night flights
眼罩,袜子,耳塞,套上就可以睡猪猪了。
还有牙膏和牙刷让你口气清新。
 It contains a pair of socks, eyes cover, ear plug, toothbrush and toothpaste.

土耳其内陆航空 Domestic flights in Turkey
土耳其的面积很大,可是她的交通系统(尤其是巴士)很完善又方便,所以她也称为“巴士之国”。不过既然我只有短短的12天,又想在土耳其来个深度之旅,所以我决定花钱搭内陆航空!
我现在要很帅的说:小女真的超幸运的,买到了两张超级便宜,便宜过搭巴士的飞机票!
Istanbul-Fethiye,一个人才8欧元(单程),Goreme(Nevsehir Airport)-Istanbul,一个人单程才55里拉。便宜到笑~ 我是临出发前的两个月才买的机票哦~
所以啊,各位如果你们要穷游又想省时间,不妨得空到Turkish Airline,Anadolujet,Pengasus Airline,OnurAir和Atlasjet的网站走走看看,也许你会挖到宝哦!
Turkey is a big country with great public transportation system. Anyway, I able to get cheap domestic tickets for my trip. *Big applause for myself*.
Bought the Istanbul-Fethiye(Pegasus Airline) ticket at 8 Euro per person and Goreme(Nevsehir Airport)-Istanbul(Anadolujet) ticket at 55TL per person. CHEAP not?
Airlines that offers domestic flights in Turkey are Turkish Airline, Anadolujet, Pengasus Airline, OnurAir and Atlasjet

购买内陆机票时的注意事项
1)Istanbul有两个机场,一个在欧洲区的Ataturk Airport,一个是亚洲区的Sabiha Gocek Airport。多数的内陆机都起飞降落于Sabiha Gocek Airport。
2)Goreme也有两个机场,一个是Nevsehir Airport(距离Goreme 45分钟车程),一个是Kayseri Airport(距离Goreme 60分钟车程)。多数的内陆机都起飞降落于Kayseri Airport。

Gentle reminder
1) There are 2 airports in Istanbul: Ataturk Airport in the Europe side and Sabiha Gocek Airport at the Asia side. Fyi, most of the domestic flights based in Sabiha Gocek Airport. 
2) There are 2 airports in Goreme, Nevsehir(45 minutes form Goreme) and Kayseri Airport(60 minutes from Goreme). Most of the domestic flights take off from Kayseri Airport.

土耳其的巴士 Intercity Bus within Turkey
既然来到巴士之国,没有乘搭他们的巴士就很对不起此趟行程了。我们一共搭了两次巴士:Fethiye-Pammukale(4小时车程,30里拉),Pammukale到Goreme(10小时车程,55里拉)。
土国的夜巴真的一级棒,除了座位很宽,而且还有巴士少爷为你准备茶水和点心。
只是我们当时乘搭的夜巴开暖炉,热死我了啦·~
We were in one of the countries that offers the best bus service in world, so we took buses from Fethiye to Pammukale and night bus from Pammukale to Goreme. The seat in night bus is comfortable, besides that, bread and drinks are provided in the bus. 

注意事项
1)土国巴士超准时的!
2)一定要买到Goreme而不是Cappadocia的巴士票!
3)一定要买到Pammukale而不是Denizli的巴士票,记得问巴士公司有没有Complimentary Free Shuttle Bus从Denizli巴士总站载到Pammukale站。

Travel tips
1) Buses in Turkey departs on time!
2) Buy ticket to Goreme not Cappadocia!
3) Buy ticket to Pammukale not Denizle. Remember to ask the bus operator on whether they provide free shuttle bus from Denizli bus terminal to Pammukale station.

住宿篇 Accommodation
这次我通过了不同的方法预定了我们此趟行程的住宿。
建议大家别单一使用一家third agent来预定完你所有的住宿,因为其他家的也许offer你更好的价钱哦。
我通过Agoda预定了Istanbul的V-go Guest House,Fethiye的V-go Guesthouse和Pammukale的Ozbay Hotel;通过Expedia预定了Cappadocia的Elif Star Cave Hotel;以及直接在Antique Hostel的官网预定了他家的住宿。房间价格我将会在hostel review告诉大家。
I used different booking websites to reserve stay throughout the trip, this all thanks to Hotelscombined.com that helps me to find and compare the cheapest deal for the hotels. Highly recommend you to use this as a guide to look for the cheapest rate for your favorite hotel.


注意事项:
1)一定要看好他们的Cancellation Policy,以及是先付款还是到了才付款给民宿哦。
2)在Istanbul,尽量住靠近Tram Station的酒店。个人觉得,住在Taksim的话比较方便找食物,住在Sultanahmet则容易抵达各大景点。
3)在Fethiye,喜欢海的话可以住Oludeniz或是Calis Beach,要方便的话就住市中心。
4)在Pamukkale,住在靠近棉花堡入口处的酒店吧。
5)在Cappadocia,一定要住在洞穴酒店!住在Goreme地区最方便。

Gentle reminder and travel tips
1) Must read the cancellation and payment policy before placing the booking as different agents have different policy.
2) For Istanbul, stay near to tram stations and I personally think that staying in Taksim have easier access to food while Sultanahmet area has closer access to main tourist spots.
3) For Fethiye, stay in town is convenient but if you love sea, stay in Calis or Oludeniz area.
4) Stay near to Cotton Castle Entrance in Pammukale
5) Staying in cave room is a must in Cappadocia, suggest to stay in Goreme. 

好啦,我觉得这是我可以和大家分享的主要事项。如果你们有兴趣知道更多的话,请到我的Facebook page留下脚印和问题吧,我一定尽力回答。
I think that's all from me, I hope this is useful for those who wish/ plan to visit Turkey. If you need any further information, just leave me a comment here or in my FB page, I will definitely try my best to answer your question.
