今天是在伊斯坦堡的最後一天,預計要搭半夜的飛機,白天趕緊出門走走。因為第一天拿的地圖已經翻爛了,出發前想再和飯店櫃檯要地圖,一大早有許多客人在櫃檯洽詢,結果服務人員竟然說要5TL,我們甚是驚訝,蛤蛤蛤????因為第一天和櫃台要地圖時沒有收錢啊!結果大概是很多人等著洽詢,櫃台人員最後直接免費給我們一份,哈哈!YA! 原來是要用錢買的,難怪櫃台沒有把地圖放在可以自由拿取的地方。今天和交大同仁Claire一起同行。相約在塔克辛廣場集合,搭捷運出發。

預計前往聖索菲亞大教堂參觀,不到九點我們就到了。連路上的小貓咪都好可愛喔!

準備進入聖索菲亞大教堂 Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya, 360-532) (摘錄自飯店索取之伊斯坦堡官方地圖)

Hagia Sophia is one of the magnificent masterpieces of world architectural history.  It was originally built as a church.  The construction began during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine I. This structure with the basilica plan and a wooden roof was burned down due to a riot and no remains survived. A second church was ordered by Theodosius II and was inaugurated in 415. However the second church was also burned down to the groud during Nika Revlot in 532. Emperor Justinian I (527-565) took a decision to build a larger church than the first two Hagia Sophias and commissioned the third and current Hagia Sophia to lsidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. From an architectural viewpoint, it is made up of a vast interior, two naves, an apse, interior and exterior narthexes. The interior area has the measures of 100× 70 m. It is covered with a dome that has a diameter of 30.31 m and 55 m of height. Mehmed II, the Conqueror creatd various pious foundations with the aim of ensuring revenue and constructed a mihrab, minaret and madrasah. After the conquest he performed the Friday prayer here. Hagia Sophia was changed into a museum in 1934 and opened to the public on February 1st, 1935. Hagia Sophia presently functions as a museum.

今天是星期六,遊客果真如我們預期的多,很多散客也很多團體客,好險我們很早出門,買門票去。

準備進入主要建築物

聖索菲亞教堂內部相當寬敞,進入後有股讓人平靜的感覺

今天一起走走的夥伴

多虧Claire的旅遊書,讓我們知道要參觀哪些重要地方,原本以為只有一樓可以看,後來發現可以到二樓呢!

教堂內部不論畫作或是建築物本身都相當精緻美麗

53 

看完教堂後,又到了美麗的廣場 Sultanahmet Square

63

 11:00多接著步行到附近的"地下水宮殿" Basilica Cistern (527)

The cistern was built in 6th c. by Roman Emperor Justinian in order to provide water for the city. This cistern is an underground chamber of 143 m by 65 m. the ceiling, which cover 9800 m2, is being carried by 336 marble columns each 9 m high. The capitals of the columns are mainly Ionic and Corinthian styles, with the exception of a few Doric styles with no engraving.

The bases of two of the columns reuse earlier blocks carved with the head of a Medusa. They are located in the northwest corner of the cistern. The origin of the two heads in unknown, thought it is rumored that the heads were brought to the cistern, in order to protect it from evil. According to legend she was one of three gorgons, a female monster; gazing upon her would turn onlookers to stone. The cracks and the columns were repaired in 1968. Having been restored in 1985 by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, the cistern was once again opened to the public in 1987.

64

一個相當神奇的地方,內部令人意外的相當大呢!水裡面還有許多身形龐大的魚遊來遊去~看到了重要參觀點"淚柱"、"梅杜莎頭雕像"...

67

吃了幾天的沙威瑪,大家相當有共識的決定今天午餐一定要吃個好料的,地下水宮殿這一帶相當熱鬧,有許多餐廳,我們就走著走著,但實在不知到哪家好,最後就隨便選了一家坐了(雖然後來好多人都走進隔壁間餐廳用餐),但至少這家椅子相對舒服。我們點了四道菜供享,左邊的麵包是免費的,可無限享用,每道菜都相當好吃,坐在戶外的位置用餐,不冷也不熱的天氣,相當舒服。

77  

吃完飯後,再走回廣場,去看方尖碑。

Claire"欣你是來過伊斯坦堡嗎?"

欣"沒有阿,這可是第一次耶!"

Claire"那你怎麼都知道怎麼走,好像有來過哩!"  呵呵~就看地圖走囉!!

蛇柱

86

 廣場上正好舉辦"韓國XX展",有像市集的地方,可以走走逛逛~接下來沒有特定景點要去,就隨意走走囉!經過地下水宮殿時,有一大長排的人正在排隊要進去,還好我們一早就出門了,呵呵~

92

繽紛的房子

95

"土耳其浴"也是個特色,路邊有飯店在招攬遊客進去洗土耳其浴,標榜比傳統公共浴場有隱私,但一次要EUR50,我實在捨不得花,Claire說附近有間公共浴場,我們就去看看,這是個有300年歷史的公共浴場,但價錢一樣不便宜,捨不得花費,就單純在入口參觀一下囉!

102

聽說土耳其啤酒很好喝,我們買了一罐一起喝,一大瓶5TL,冰冰涼涼的,喝起來不苦澀,真的蠻好喝的,我們就在路邊的椅子上喝著啤酒,看著人們,享受這片刻悠閒。

111

最後我們看Claire的旅遊書上說在"大巴扎"附近還有個有名的清真寺,再次搭捷運去看看。這裡相對藍色清真寺規模小一點,人潮少一點,但也蠻值得一看。

112

123

但Claire因為想到早上忘記辦check out了,匆匆參觀完後,我們就趕緊回飯店,先去塔克辛廣場找了間飲料店,我和Flora在裡面休息,Claire回飯店check out。 17:00多Claire回到飲料店,還好飯店還不錯,沒有多收Claire費用,接著Claire和Flora決定再去逛獨立大道,我的腳已經痠到不行,決定回飯店休息,Claire還把她的旅遊書借我,讓我回飯店可以看看,再請Claire她們逛完回來再幫我買個沙威瑪和一份淡菜飯。

回到飯店後坐在半露天的椅子,看著外面人來人往的行李,也是很棒!更棒的是雖然我們已經check out,但無線網路帳號還是可以用,所以一點也不會無聊!:)

129

 最後,Claire回她的飯店準備去機場,我們倆也搭和飯店預定的接駁車準備前往機場,每人55TL,比EAIE大會的接駁車50EUR便宜許多,後來有位其他學校的男老師說他沒有預約車子,就直接問飯店是否可以和我們搭同一台車去機場,因為是箱型車,還有位置,就一起去機場囉!老師和我們分享了他這幾天的經歷,說在路上被擦鞋阿伯騙錢,擦鞋阿伯在他走路時故意掉了東西在老師面前,老師基於正常反應下會停下來彎腰把東西撿起來,就在這個時候阿伯就自顧地往老師鞋子擦擦,然後獅子大開口50TL,討價還價後老師給了20TL才放人。我們覺得還真是有點慘~結果老師說他和德國朋友吃飯聊到這件事,那德國朋友說他也是一樣的手法被騙,但是是付20EUR!天啊!!

40分鐘到了機場,機場沒甚麼東西好逛了,因為用玉山銀行辦了免費貴賓室,我們找了好久才找到貴賓室,在遙遠一頭的地下室,裡面相當多人,有很多沙發,但感覺設備沒有桃園機場多,而且也沒有甚麼食物,就喝個飲料吃根香蕉就結束了!躺在按摩椅上候機,上機後又開始送餐,但已經凌晨了,最後我應該是邊吃邊睡吧!呼~經過很久的飛行,終於回到溫暖的家了!

土耳其感覺是個很值得去看看的地方,不知道以後是否還有機會專程去土耳其旅行呢? :)
