Istanbul:圣索菲亚大教堂Hagia Sophia , 蓝色清真寺Blue Mosque

从土耳其回来已经半年了,也花了几个月用文字记录了我在土耳其所看到的一切,每每记录一篇博文,每每看回照片,都好怀念那12天的奇妙旅程。
今天的这篇博文,是土耳其的完结篇,写的是土耳其最具代表性的两座建筑物:圣索菲亚大教堂和蓝色清真寺。
我想,用这两座宏伟的建筑物来结束土国游记系列更恰当不过了。
My Turkey trip ended 6 months ago, and I spent months to write down the reviews and what I seen during my 12 days trip. I miss my trip badly whenever I looked back the photos taken while choosing some of them to be uploaded here. 
This is the last post for my Turkey travelogue, so I going to end my travelogue with the TWO most wonderful historical sites and buildings in Turkey: Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. 

 Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia
The most outstanding buildings in Istanbul

要我用一句话来形容圣索菲亚大教堂,我只能说:“外观上,她并不是最漂亮的;可是一旦走入她的内心,你会深深爱上她”
Mitty say:"You won't fall in love at first sight when you see Hagia Sophia, but once you appreciate her inner beauty, you can't stop yourself from loving her"

欣赏照片之前,就让我为这大教堂的历史背景做个简介吧!
1千5百多年前,拜占庭皇帝下令建造的大教堂,终于于537年完成建筑,成为了当时世上最大的教堂。之后,奥斯曼土耳其人于1453年征服当时的君士坦丁堡后,苏丹默罕默德二世将大教堂转变为清真寺。随着土耳其共和国的建立,国父Ataturk将此建筑物于1935年重新以博物院的身份与世人见面。
Hagia Sophia is a masterpiece of the Byzantine architecture. From the date of its construction in 537AD, it served as an Orthodox Cathedral. Then Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque when Istanbul was conquered by the Turks. Although human portrail is strictly forbidden in Islam, the mosaic and frescoes were only painted over and thus preserved, thanks to the great tolerance of Sultan Mehmet II. St Sophia became a museum in 1935 with the order of Ataturk, founder of the modrn Turkish Republic.

入门票:40里拉(包括在土耳其博物院卡)
大家要注意哦,大教堂夏季和冬季的开馆时间不一样哦!
我们到访时是冬天,5点就关门了,4点是最后入馆参观时间。
Entrance fee was 40 Turkish Lira and it is included in the Museum Pass.
The opening hours of Hagia Sophia are different during the summer and winter season.
It closed at 5pm and 4pm was the last entrance during our visit in winter season.

阶梯好有古堡的感觉

让我赞叹不已的镶嵌画
庆幸这些镶嵌画被保存了下来。
Mosaics and frescoes that amazed me,
luckily they are well preserved.
这个角落让我有莫名的感动
我想这里是世上唯一一个融合两个宗教的历史遗迹了。
圆顶上有圣母和耶稣的壁画,柱子上有的是回教书法。
I feel so touched while I was standing at this corner.
I saw two peaceful religions that blend well into one at this place.
Jesus and Mother Mary frescoes at the dome,
Islamic calligraphy at the pillars.

So beautiful and peaceful.

我的土耳其梦,始于蓝色清真寺,所以就让蓝色清真寺为我的土耳其游记画上句点吧!
我是出身于一个回教国家的女孩,我信奉的不是回教。
为什么我会对蓝色清真寺念念不忘?
答案我也说不清。也许前世的我,曾经在这个美丽的回教堂和上苍有无数次的对话吧!
My Turkish Dream begins with Blue Mosque, so I going to end my dream with Blue Mosque.
I don't know why I so in love with Blue Mosque, perhaps that was the place I sat at while praying to my God.

Sultanahmet Camii是她的本命,但大家都称之为蓝色清真寺,因为清真寺内部的墙体贴满了蓝色的瓷砖。
Sultanahmet Camii or better known as Blue Mosque, for the blue tiles adorning the wall of its interior.

如今蓝色清真寺还是个清真寺,所以非回教徒要注意的事项如下:
1)参观时间:早上8点至傍晚6点(每天五次的回教徒祈祷时间会对外关闭),所以要查看门口的公告牌哦!
2)进入参观时,记得穿长衣长裤(女生要包头,要美美的拍照就带自己的围巾,不然门口有免费围巾借),不能穿鞋子(门口有供应塑胶袋装鞋子)
蓝色清真寺可以免费参观。
Unlike Hagia Sophia that turns into a Museum, Blue Mosque is still a praying place for the Muslims, so there are several things that Non-Muslim should take note of:
1) The visiting hours:8am to 6pm(but it will closed for prayer times), so do check the notice board at the entrance before your visit.
2) To wear long sleeve and long pants during your visit(for ladies, you need to cover your hair; you can prepare your own shawl or borrow it from the counter at entrance site), shoes are prohibited.
No entrance fee is needed.

站在整个在我梦里出现千百回的地方

当时的我静静的坐在角落
看着游客拍照,看着这位美丽的韩国导游姐姐做讲解,
看着当地人在那儿祈祷。
I sat quietly at the corner,
watching the tourists taking pictures, 
watching the tour guide giving explanation,
and watching the locals praying.

为了和蓝色清真寺融为一体
我也穿上了蓝色的上衣和长裤
此刻的蓝色一点都不忧郁
反而承载了我梦里的蓝色星月国度
I wish to become part of Blue Mosque
by wearing blue shirt and blue jeans.
Thanks Blue Mosque for giving me 
such a wonderful Turkish dream.

So, as return, if you have any doubts or need any tips for your Turkey trip planning, let GoMitty know, I will try my best to answer your doubts. Promise!!
这个爱献给我的土耳其,也献给正在阅读的你们
My love for Turkey
My love for you.

Istanbul: 王子岛Prince's Island, the Buyukada

GoMitty:很久很久以前,在一个距离伊斯坦堡城外20公里的群岛上,住着一班王子。
观众:拜托你别瞎说啦,王子生活在宫中,哪可能是在小岛上?
GoMitty:真的啦!!拜占庭和Ottoman时期,那些获罪的王子和王室成员就被流放于此。

GoMitty: Long long time ago, there was a number of Princes staying in an island near to Istanbul.
Audience: Please lah, don't be silly. Princes lived in palace, not island.
GoMitty: Is true one lah~~~ Princes and other royalty were exiled on the islands during Byzantine and Ottoman period. 

王子群岛是由9个岛组成的,而我们今天游玩的是面积最大的岛:Buyukada。如今的王子群岛,再也没有王子流放于此,却是伊斯坦堡人夏日的避暑胜地。
王子群岛上的最大特色是这里没有现代交通工具,游客只能选择步行,租用脚踏车或是马车于岛上来回穿梭。
11月的土耳其是冬天,我们在冷飕飕的冬风中,度过了宁静的一天。
号外:中国实景节目“花样姐姐”有到此拍摄哦~
(哇靠,今天的文笔出奇的棒耶!)
There are 9 islands in the Princes' Islands group(locals refer them as Adalar), and we visited the largest island "Buyukada". Today, you can't find any princes living on this island, but this is the place Istanbullus spend their summer at. The unique part of this island is that, motorized vehicles are prohibited on these islands, visitors can explore the island by foot, or riding a bicycle or in horse-drawn phaeton carriages. We had a peaceful day in Buyukada during the winter.

如何从伊斯坦堡(欧洲区)抵达Buyukada岛?
从Kabatas码头乘船即可,我们选择了Sehir Hatlari公司的快船(5里拉)。
注意哦,冬季的船次比较少,所以出发前记得先在网上查看时间表哦!
How to reach Buyukada from the European side of Istanbul?
Took the ferry from Kabatas pier, we picked the ferry run by Sehir Hatlari(5 Turkish Lira)
Please note that, there is less ferries running between Istanbul and Adalar during the winter, so to be safe, check the timetable online before your departure.

按此链接查询时间表。You can check the timetable by clicking the link given as below:

话说,我有两个遗憾:
遗憾一,当天的我有点不舒服,所以乘船的一小时里,没有到甲板上拍马马拉沿海的风景照,错过了捕捉少女塔倩影的机会。
遗憾二,选择了王子群岛,错过了乘搭Bophorus Cruise的机会。遗憾啊~~~逗留在此的时间好短。
My Istanbul trip wasn't complete, because:
1) I was abit sick during the journey to Buyukada, so I didn't went to the deck and took pictures of Maiden Tower and Marmara Sea.
2) I picked the Adalar and give up Bophorus Cruise. 
I should spend more time in this beautiful city. Want to revisit this beautiful country badly.

好啦,照片时刻到!Pictures time!!
土男都很厉害,可以这样拿着simit于人群中来回走动。
This is how they sell Simit on the ferry.
这照片真梦幻,就像处于童话世界中。
Am I walking in dreamland?
租个马车不便宜,价钱如下:
短程(30分钟):75里拉
长程(45分钟):90里拉
Rent the fayton near the clock tower square
Short course (30 minutes): 75 Turkish Lira
Long course (45 minutes): 90 Turkish Lira
 话说,坐在马车上看似很优雅,事实上马粪的味道真的有够晕~
Looks elegant sitting on the fayton, but the smell of horse' shit is killing me.
很多女生来到这里都会买个花圈,GoMitty也败了一个。
拍照萌萌哒!
Girls visiting Adalar will buy flower headband from the stall, so do I.
Am I looking good in it?
我在Buyukada岛上找到了一家百年药剂店。
Found a hundreds year old pharmacy store in Buyukada.
Benzylpenicillin 5MU(Antique!!!)
古董啊!
身为药剂师的GoMitty当然和她拍照啦!
我身后所展示的都是一些百年老妖,是药啦!
GoMitty is a pharmacist so I won't miss the opportunity to take picture with it.
I should had interviewed the pharmacist working in the shop,
to find out more about the pharmacy system in Turkey.
我向这位风景画家购买一个他自绘的冰箱磁铁(5里拉)
Bought a nice self-painted magnet from this artist at 5 Turkish Lira.
水果档
真想吃完这些颜色鲜美的水果
Fruit stall selling fresh fruits.
Ain't it colorful?
夕阳照射下的公园,格外漂亮
Rays of sunlight between the trees in Luna Park.

这里的别墅真的很漂亮。
Wooden villas lie along the road.
真希望可以和我爱的人慢走在这个宁静的街道上
Brief walking on this quiet lane with the love one. *dreaming*

我们在岛上轻松游玩几个小时后,便乘搭7点钟的船回到伊斯坦堡。如果你带在伊斯坦堡的天数很多,我推荐你来王子群岛走走。不然你也可以到Bursa一日游。(我没去过,不过从照片上看,那里很美。)
重新选择的话,我会希望和我的爱人手牵着手在冬季里享受Buyukada的宁静。
We spent few hours relax at this little island and took the 7pm ferry back to Istanbul. Will I recommend Adalar? Yes, if you have more time(maybe 5 days) in Istanbul, you can visit both Buyukada and Heybeliada islands in 1 day; else you can have a day trip to Bursa(I didn't went there, but Bursa looks serene from pictures).
