大家好,此篇博文是卡帕多奇亚格莱姆的最后一篇游记了,今天的题材很简单,那就是:来到卡帕多奇亚,除了搭乘热气球和参观红绿线团的景点,你还可以做什么?
Hello everyone. This is the last Goreme entry by Go!Mitty, so I going to share :"What are the things to do besides Red, Green line tour and hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia?"

废话不啰嗦,读文,看照片吧!

1)土耳其之夜 Turkish Night Show
我们通过旅馆预定了土耳其之夜的入门票,一个人110里拉,价钱包括了一顿晚餐,无限量饮料供应(有汽水,红酒和啤酒)以及表演节目。爱喝酒的人一定大爱这里,如果想找个地方看表演和享受一顿晚餐,跟你的酒店预定一场土耳其之夜的入门票吧!
除了土耳其之夜,你们也可选择观赏旋转舞表演哦~
We decided to go for Turkish Night Show(110TL per person, book through Elif Star Cave Hotel) instead of Whirling Dervish Show, with no specific reason.
We were brought to Evranos'a Underground Cave Show Center by Kadir, and the money we paid are entitled for a meal and UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF DRINKS(include wines), alcohol lovers will love this place much. Relax and enjoy the night with delicious foods, wines, and dance performances.

Raki,土耳其出名的烈酒,也称之为“狮子奶”
“狮子奶”原本是无色的,再加入清水之后,就会变成奶色了。

Raki is colorless drink, but after diluted with water,
it turns into a milky-white color drink. 
烤鸡饭,还是马来西亚的海南鸡饭好吃

Hainan Chicken Rice the best
土耳其之夜由旋转舞来开序幕
The show begins with Whirling Dervish show.
接下来有各种民族舞蹈,而看了令人热血沸腾的肚皮舞则是压轴
Followed by cultural dance and lastly our favourite Belly Dance.

2) 土耳其浴Hammam(Turkish Bath)
你可以在土耳其的任何地方尝试土耳其浴,不过价格又以伊斯坦堡最贵,卡帕多奇亚的土耳其不是最便宜的,但是在土国游玩了一个月后,我们也真是累了,需要来放松筋骨的时刻。
You can try Hammam at any places in Turkey, why we choose to have it in Cappadocia? Well, just simply we were exhausted after a 1 week trip in Turkey and we want to pamper ourselves with a relaxing activity. 
我们去的澡堂是Elis Hamam Bath,就在格莱姆市中心而已。
We had our Hamam at Elis Hamam Bath which is located at the centre of Goreme.

澡堂是男女分开的。
The Turkish Bath is separated to male and female side. 
你可以选择全裸或是穿着比基尼、泳衣。
You can choose to be either naked or wear your bikini in the bath area. 
换过衣服后,工作人员变在我们的脸上涂上一层冰凉的泥面膜,之后我们便在三温暖休息个20分钟。热出一身汗之后,我们便将面膜洗净,也洗了个快澡,就来到大澡堂了。
After changing/removing our clothes, clay mask was applied to our face, and we can enjoy our pampering session in sauna for about 20 minutes. Then we washed the mask away and have a quick shower. 
大澡堂里有个大圆顶,周围都有小水缸,中央是一个大理石做的圆形平台。我们在平台上躺下之后,按摩师便会帮我们搓背按摩。洗了大约20分钟,我们便去沐浴和在附加的泳池里游泳。
We then walked into a marble room with a big dome, several basins around the room and a göbektaşı — the central, raised platform above the heating source. We lied flat on the göbektaşı and masseur did her job by washing, scrubbing us up. After a 20 minutes bath, we cleaned ourselves in the shower room and have a brief swim in the pool.

这就是大澡堂(照片摘自网络)

3) Anatolian Kitchen
Anatolian Kitchen是格莱姆其中一家在Tripadvisor有很高评价的餐厅,Mitty觉得这里的米布丁非常好吃。另外,来到卡帕多奇亚一定要尝试这里的瓦罐牛肉,是这里的美食特色之一。我们在这里和新认识的朋友享用了一顿丰盛的晚餐,而且这里的价钱也还蛮公道的。
Anatolian Kitchen is one of the highly rated restaurant in Tripadvisor, which served yummy rice pudding and pottery kebab. We had a great dinner here with our new friends. Foods served are fantastic and the price is reasonable.

4) 热气球观看点Best Viewing Point for Hot Air Balloon
如果搭乘热气球不在你的计划之内,没关系!不过,切记一定要在这里拍上一张可媲美明信片,以热气球为背景的美照!格莱姆市中心有个适合观看热气球的地点,Mitty建议大家一定要向酒店查询如何抵达这个小山顶。
Is ok if hot air balloon ride is not in your must do list in Cappadocia, but your trip wouldn't be complete if you do not take tonnes of hot air balloon picture here. There is a best viewing point to take awesome hot air balloon shot in Goreme city, check the place out with your hotel. 
我和朋友早上5点变爬醒来,在冷风中抹黑来到这个小山顶,虽然几乎快被冻死了,但是每每看回照片我觉得一切都是值得的。
My friend and I woke up at 5am morning and walked to this viewing point in darkness. We almost get frozen in order to get these pictures, but I think everything is paid off when I looked back at them.
冻死了~

Goreme:Hot Air Balloon 热气球

就像上一篇所写的,今天的blogpost就是要和大家分享酷毙的热气球乘搭经验。
再重复一次,这次的热气球之旅是通过Elif Star Cave Hotel预定的,159欧元的配套(含热气球,绿线团和一趟机场接送服务~)。临出发时,我和旅馆经理确认了,我们预定的热气球可以从Sultan Balloons和Kapadokya Balloons,两家公司择其一。
As mentioned in my previous blog post, I going to share about my Hot Air Balloon ride today. What I must say is, taking hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia is one of the coolest experience I had in my life. I booked the hot air balloon ride through Elif Star Cave Hotel at Euro159(inclusive of hot air balloon ride, Green Line tour and one way airport transfer). We can choose between Sultan Balloons and Kapadokya Balloons for the ride. 
Sultan Balloons: The National Ballooning Champion with 23 years experience
Kapadokya Balloons: The only Balloon Flight Training Company in Turkey
[Details from Elif Star Cave Hotel]
We picked the Kapadokya Balloon.

选择热气球公司的注意事项
1)价钱:为了安全着想,我不选择低于100欧元的公司
2)公司:著名的公司如Royal和Butterfly的价钱偏高(150欧以上)
3)最多人数:最多人数越低,价钱越高
What you need to take notes while signing up a Hot Air Balloon package?
1)The price: I don't go for package below 100Euro due to safety concern

2)Company: The famous companies etc Royal and Butterfly charged higher(>150 Euro)
3)Maximum capacity per basket: You paid more for a lesser people ride

早上5点,我们选择的Kapadokya Balloons就有专车来送我们到他家公司的集合点。我们在他们的office享受了一顿简单的早点后,便出发到起飞点。整个飞行旅途是大约1小时,最幸福的是可以在热气球看到美丽的日出。
At 5o'clock in the morning, free shuttle van from Kapadokya Balloon picked us up from hotel and dropped us at the assembly point for a simple breakfast. Then, we are brought to the hot air balloon boarding site and started our 1 hour amazing journey. The weather was good and we able to watch sunrise during the ride.

今天的文章不会有太多文字,大家就尽量欣赏照片吧~
I should let the picture speaks now:
睡不醒,眼袋很深的我

静静欣赏这个美景是最舒服的一件事。
Didn't took much pictures as I was enjoying the view. Amazed with the scenic view.

幸福!
Sunrise+Hot Air Balloons+Cappadocia= WONDERFUL

飞行了一小时后,我们便降落在一块平地。
降落后会有简单的开香槟庆祝和颁发奖状仪式,之后专车便会带我们回到各自的旅馆了。
We landed at a I-don't know-where-I-am place after 1 hour flying.
There will be a champagne toast and flying certificate giving ceremony after the flight before we were sending back to our hotel.
