Hi Etugrul,
Hope you don't mind this WS.

1. Set black and white points using droppers on a levels layer. This provided better dynamic range and neutralised blue cast due to atmosphere.
2. Further removed blue cast via curves layer.
3. Increased contrast via USM filter set to 10,50,5
4. Boosted saturation a little using a curves layer in LAB mode.
5. Selected sky and added curevs layer set to Mutiply belnd mode. This darkened sky. Reduced opacity to 20%.
5. COnverted to sRGB mode and saved for web.
