This is a serious resort on the coast of Aegean Sea but this time in #turkey and exactly at the small town of Selcuk. Plenty of tourists spends their summer vacation in this region. The whole area on the Aegean sea of Turkey is famous with its so-called all-inclusive tourism. I managed to spent my New year's Eve here so my stay was out of season but it was still amazing. #happynewyear

Standing on Turkey's Aegean Coast, I finally understood what it means to witness a truly breathtaking view. The sun slowly sinks below the horizon, its golden-red rays painting the entire ocean, with shimmering waves resembling countless scattered gold fragments. Time seems to stand still in that moment. Even more magical is the transformation when the sun sets and the moon quietly rises. The Aegean Sea takes on a different mood. The night colors the waves silver-white, a gentle breeze brushes the surface, and the only sounds are the waves and the beating of my heart. Sitting at a local seaside café, I ordered a cup of Turkish red tea and quietly watched the sky transition from golden hues to deep blue. The moonlight reflecting on the sea felt like a serene poem. The sunset here is not just a view but a ceremony; a soulful moment in the journey and my deepest longing for the Aegean Sea. Highly recommended for those seeking inner peace and the beauty of nature's harmony. 📍 Location: Turkey's Aegean Coast (Kuşadası, Çeşme, and other spots offer great views) 🕒 Best time: 5 PM to 8 PM

Good atmosphere in Turkey😊😊

#外游-11 days and 9 nights trip to Turkey Because Turkey was being chased by financial tycoons a while ago, causing the currency to depreciate, my husband thought it was very cost-effective to travel to Turkey now, so the two of us used up our annual leave to take a long-distance trip. 😁 Türkiye is located in the Eurasian continent. When you take a boat tour of Istanbul, you will see Asian-style buildings on one side and European-style buildings on the other. I think there is only such a wonder in the world𥚃. 😎 We arrived at the Aegean coast of Türkiye and stayed there for one night. Looking at the other side, it should be Greece🤔. We continued to visit Pamukkale, the ancient Roman Colosseum, stayed in the cave hotel introduced by the National Geographic Channel, played with hot air balloons, and went on a pilgrimage (it is said to be a temple where believers worship Jesus). Because the direct flight from Hong Kong to Istanbul, Turkey takes 11-12 hours, the first and last nights were spent on the plane. The time difference is 6 hours behind Hong Kong. The currency is Lira, but US dollars can also be used. #Overseas Travel
