Cappadocia is a real weapon of mass destruction for a tourist. And this is true - sunrises, sunsets, an alien landscape and the feeling of returning to the past, a thousand years ago. Cappadocia is a great holiday idea in Turkey and the perfect travel option for a long weekend or weeklong vacation.
Cappadocia is located in the central part of Turkey, in the region called Anatolia. The largest city in this part of the country is Kayseri, there is also an international airport that receives flights from Istanbul.From Istanbul to fly here less than an hour, from the capital of Turkey Ankara 3 hours by car. A popular but not at all interesting way to get to Cappadocia is to take a bus tour from the Antalya coast for a day or two. As for me, this is wasted money and wasted time. Firstly, because of the uncomfortable hours of bus travel, on the second day and a half, there is very little space for this. It will be much more interesting and more budgetary in general if you organize a trip to Cappadocia yourself for a few days, at least 3-5 days will be needed.
Cave hotels in Cappadocia are a local highlight. Ancient Christians lived in such caves, who escaped from Muslims in this way; in Cappadocia there are entire underground cities, including those open to tourists (See Image 1). The fact is that the terrain in Cappadocia consists of a soft rock of tuff, in which it is convenient to cut down housing. Why not live the way it was done a thousand years before us. Moreover, the filling of such hotels is quite modern, and the evening views from the veranda make you believe in magic.
The Angkor temple complex is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and covers an area of more than 200 square kilometers (See Image 2). Angkor was the center of the Khmer Empire that existed in the 9th-13th centuries on the territory of modern Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.Buddhist culture is conservative about dress. After naked photo shoots of tourists on the territory of the temples, a dress code has been in effect since 2016. So shorts or skirts above the knee and tank tops that do not cover the shoulders are not welcome when visiting temples.
The main temple of the complex and the reason why thousands of travelers come to Cambodia. Angkor means “city” and Wat means “temple”, so Angkor Wat literally means “City temple”. The temple was built in the 12th century during the reign of King Suryavarman II, and its construction took about 40 years.
Angkor Wat surprises. It is especially surprising that a person could create all this. Whole cities with many temples, details, bas-reliefs. The architecture is different from anything I've seen before. It's worth seeing at least once in your life.
Beshbarmak, besbarmak is one of the main national dishes of Kazakhs and Kyrgyz. The name "beshbarmak" is a consequence of the word combinations of the words "besh", which in translation from the Kyrgyz language means five and "barmak" - which in translation means finger / fingers. The nomadic tribes of the Kyrgyz and Kazakhs, and many nomadic peoples, did not use cutlery while eating but took meat with their hands. ".
Traditional Thai soup made of seafood, coconut milk, and some lemongrass leaves. The meaning of “Tom” in English is boiling, and “Yum” means mixing ingredients. The main ingredients for Tom yum are galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, and crushed red chili peppers. I love the combination of flavors in this soup, which makes this soup really delicious and famous around the world
Borscht is a traditional first dish of the Slavic peoples and is the most favorite dish of Ukrainian cuisine. Borscht is a soup made from a large number of components, the main of which is beets, which impart a rich burgundy color. The most popular are Ukrainian borscht (with garlic and lard), Moscow (with various types of meat), Siberian (with meatballs and beans) and navy (with smoked meats).
Pasta (pasta) is the basis of Italian cuisine. In Italy, we will find many dishes of noodles and pasta, which are difficult for a foreigner to understand. They are divided according to the quality of the test and applications. According to the quality of the dough, they are divided into two main groups: Secca pasta - all dry pasta of factory production, which are sold packaged. They are made from semolina or wheat flour, water and salt.
Pilaf is an oriental dish based on boiled rice (in exceptional cases - other cereals or small pasta). A distinctive feature of pilaf is its friability, achieved by observing the technology of cooking rice and adding animal or vegetable fat to pilaf, which prevents grains from sticking together. Dishes for serving pilaf on the table are called a swimmer, in Central Asia - lyagan.
So, one of the strongest dishes that is being paid attention to is boeuf bourguignon - (beef in Burgundy) - a traditional, but not widespread dish of French cuisine. Prepared from stewed, lightly fried pieces of beef in a thick wine sauce on beef broth, seasoned with garlic, onions, carrots, mushrooms. This is really delicious dish, and it is 100% must try in France.
Sushi, or as they are called in Japanese - sushi, is a traditional dish of the Land of the Rising Sun. This is due to the fact that fish and rice, from which sushi is prepared, are the most affordable products in this region. If we talk about rice, then it has long been the main agricultural crop in Japan. Once upon a time the word "sushi" meant fish preparations. At the same time, rice was used as a preservative, which was not customary to eat.
The Chinese like to say: "When you come to China, you must definitely do two things: visit the Great Wall of China and try Peking duck." Peking duck, always bright, fragrant, with tender, lean meat, is a real "taste feast". Peking duck (Peking duck) is the most famous dish in Beijing. When you arrive in the Chinese capital, try this traditional delicacy, because Peking duck is an obligatory part of the cultural program for those traveling to Beijing.
