We arrived in TURKEY 🇹🇷 Istanbul blew us away. Let’s explore Istanbul together!

I love Turkey ♥️ I am half Turkish and half Polish raise in Poland but Turkey is my 2 nd home !

Magical Turkiye. Your missing out on the beautiful residential areas. Greetings from dreary London.

We have been here for 3 weeks now and have fallen in love with this crazy beautiful city! ✨🇹🇷

I've been traveling round the Turkey. Positive experience. Their bus fleet is impressive - lot of connections at any time, comfortable, clean, cheap. I recommend

Istanbul looks the same as I imagined it, a mix of European and Middle Eastern culture, also the closeness of the Mediterranean Sea climate is felt. I am curious if Turkey will surprise me on your channel.

Turkey has been on our bucket list for forever! 😍Istanbul looks beautiful.

Another interesting video 👍 Poland missing you guys !!

It is so surprising to know that you have chosen Turkey for your next visit. I have watched all of your Poland videos and now I'm going to Poland. I'm sure my Poland visit will be more meaningful thanks to your recommendations. Thank you guys. I love you so much💕 Add Amasya (such a charming small Ottoman town) to your list ... Always ready to help. Take care.

Found this video while doing some Istanbul 'research'. I'll be there tomorrow 😍

traditional dance is called halay

What a difference from kind of quiet/sleepy Poland to Turkey, looks crazy busy but it looks so interesting and beautiful. Have a great time in Turkey!

Hi, welcome in Turkey. Have a wonderful time and enjoy the summer. 😊😌

Very good video. Fans from 🇵🇱

Super. Pozdrowienia z Polski 👍

The streets of Istanbul are packed - looks like it was a busy area. It's so nice to be by the water though. Would love to go back to Turkey and explore Istanbul and the markets.

Harika bir video. Hoşgeldin

Good luck guys Must love travelling 💕 Why Turkey after Poland I was thinking going by train through Czech Slovakia Hungary Romania Bulgaria Turkey and after to Israel but very dangerous times now

gorgeous turkey

Bosphorus is not a river. It is a natural channel connecting the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea.

6:58 For you and any watchers info, that guys who song and dancing that never related to Turkish tradition. They are Syrian refugees. They song in Arabic. Maybe Kurdish. I'm not sure.

6:58 They are from Iraq arab kurdish dancing .. there’s popular %99 Arab tourists destination..

It is useful to check your cardio before you start visiting Istanbul. :))

Still with both off You. When u r there tell me where the kebabs taste better there or in Poland. Zdrowia

EXCELLENT, very informative vlog. I am going to be in istanbul in june - this has been extremely helpful. Thank you.

Really really enjoyable video. Love how you take us on your travels with you. Great job guys 👏 loved it ❤️

Miło was widziec. 🤗❤️😘

İstanbul🌷💕

It's great to see your smiling faces in your new series! The food looked delicious. I agree with Naomi, the city must be quite overwhelming, at least at first. But it does seem like a fascinating place.

Hi guys.. nice exploring around Istanbul.. thanx for sharing guys...

My fav İstanbul

Did you think that we will not be here with you? With the Polish series, you have won your new fans and our hearts. 🇵🇱 ❤ 🧿and all of the 🌍

30:42 Directly behind you after the bridge left across the street is the subway to Asia. You'll be over there in 3 minutes. Thanks for sharing.

Love Istanbul

Cordial greetings from Poland

Welcome to Türkiye ❤🧿

What a nice video to watch after I come bacck Istanbul 🇹🇷 Let me study more by Two Mad Explorers's video !!!!!!! Super!

i found out what dabke is in this video. what you think of that dabke is actually “halay”. and it is very different from dabke. 6:56 the people who play are kurds, kurds play this people's game a lot.

06:30 we call this dance halay in general. there are many styles that differs city to city

It’s really funny when the guy was giving ice cream to you. Never been to Turkey, really lots to see through your informative video. So enjoyed and new subscriber here. Hope to stay connected. Have a wonderful trip😍❤️👍👍🔔🔔🤗

nice views of istanbul

You guys are amazing. I have a name for you both: World CItizens. Tip: 3 places I suggest you guys must see in Turkey: Kushadasi, Efesus, and Pamukkale baths. If you happen to hear terms "Arnavut boregi" you know it means Albanian byrek haha. Oh, and make sure you watch out your weight in Turkey. When I left Turkey (I spent there a month in a resort in Kushadasi) I was 258 pounds heaviest ever in my life.

Istanbul has lots of gorgeous places to offer. The places you visited are usually tourist attractions and for me they are not the best. There are calmer places which are great organized and clean. Istanbul is a massive city and once you start seeing it’s beauty you can’t leave it easily. Next time when you visit again , I recommend you to visit; Besiktas, Kadikoy, Ortaköy, Emirgan, Sariyer, Polenezkoy, Riva, Arnavutkoy, Üsküdar etc.

if you want to have a calm authentic local experience in Istanbul, go out of this touristic part of the town .. go kadiköy or the modern part with skycrapers in the asian side... Istanbul is big. The grand bazar area is just a small fraction.

Interesting city by the sea, on two continents plus delicious FOOD and CATS! What else do you need? It's on my list to visit.

The Egyptian Bazaar used to be called as the “New Bazaar” and “Valide Bazaar” by the historiographers of the 17th century. However it later earned reputation in mid-18th century with the name of “Egyptian Bazaar” as the spices and goods that were sold in the bazaar were mostly coming from Egypt. More commonly used compared to others, the name of “Egyptian Bazaar” is also read in the travel books of foreign travelers in referring to the structure. In Constantinople by Edmondo de Amicis dated 1874, the Egyptian Bazaar is described as follows: “Entering this, we are immediately assailed by an odour so powerful as to fairly knock one down: this is the Egyptian Bazaar, where are deposited all the wares of India, Syria, Egypt, and Arabia, which later on, converted into essences, pastilles, powders and ointments, serve to colour little hands and faces, perfume apartments and baths and breaths and beards, reinvigorate worn-out pashas, and dull the senses of unhappy married people, stupefy smokers, and spread dreams, oblivion, and insensibility throughout the whole of the vast city. After going but a short distance in this bazaar your head begins to feel dull and heavy, and you get out of it as fast as you can; but the effect of that hot, close atmosphere and those penetrating odors clings long to your clothing, and remains for all time in your memory as one of the most vivid and characteristic impressions of the East.”

Yes that looked like syrian dabke!

I reside in Newyork but I’m Turkish decent Food in USA sucks everywhere you go fast food chains taste is terrible. Unless you go to fine restaurants steak house things like that. Steak house good one you’ll end up paying at least $250 for two people.We are getting robbed here. Food in Istanbul more tasty and fresh and ridiculously cheap prices

6:39 Dabke is a Levantine dance, the Turks call it halay. The song they were singing didn't really sound Turkish though, so most probably it's not the Turks dancing there. I'm guessing it's either Kurdish or Syrian Arabic. A small note, even though they are both called "halay" the Turkish halay and the Kurdish halay are different as well.

you definitely got a new subscriber

Are you planning to come Eskişehir?

Hi~ I really enjoyed watching this video. Also I heard dabke first time. then I researched. It means halay in Arabic. We say halay in Turkish. And thats the point. you should know how to say no. Sellers try to sell when they see tourists. Some may be more expensive in tourist places. you give really good tips.

Turkish explosion of the senses!😋👍👏👌

11:09 it was purslane i think

😁👍

I wonder if you are going elswhere in turkyie. I am going there in five days. Side, in the antalya region. It have been a few years since I was there now. I used to live and work for a while in turkyie. It is fun to watch you guys. You have lots of information. More than other travel vloggers. I appreciate that. I hope you are intending to do more of turkyie than just istanbul. it is a marvelous country. If you havent seen them check them out. Tread the globe. Enlish couple got stuck in turkyie when covid hit. They decided to stay and traveled turkyie for almost two years in their van. Now they are in america so you have to scroll back a bit. I highly recomend them. :) They have done some really good stuff. Helping a lady establish a rescue center for turtles in manavgat side. A truly magical story. The powerr of you tube can do wonders. Anyways I hope to see more of you in turkyie. Gule gule. 😃

Great video! Heading to Istanbul in a couple of weeks. Any good seadfood place that you could recommend? Many thanks

naomi is the appetizer you ate. purslane in the saray lokantası

Nice review! You didn't film more of that dancing ?

I wonder if you both will decide to settle down somewhere as you had hoped to do in Albania?

You can go under the sea on the European and Asian sides, there is a subway, it will be a different experience.

O rany ilu tam ludzi

Yerebatan Saray you have to go there, Dan Brown fans ?

Nice Video 👍 Welcome to Türkiye 🍒🍓🫐🥝🍅🍆🥑🥕🌽🌶🫑🥒🥬🥦🧅🧄🥐🍔🍗🍖🧀🥞🥨🌯🍳🥘🥮🍡🍩🫖☕🌅

Which Airbnb apartment were you living in? Can you guide please

never heard anything like "dabke" lol. whats that :D

I m a turkish local. in istanbul turist areas rents too high because of this every thing has high price....espesially grand bazaar. go kadıköy you can find local life and good price

05:05 maybe those expensive knock offs were high quality genuine fakes. not all the fakes are the same.

River? :)

The Biggest City in Europe and the under 15. Biggest Cities in the World.

20-30 liras at cherry street bazaar

Vary only Nic

Enjoy your stay in Turkey - it is completely different from Poland. Come back to Poland after the high season and explore the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea. September is often quite nice and peaceful with good weather. All the best, warmest wishes and greetings, Paweł and Gosia 🌞 🧡 🌤 🌹 ⛱ 🌅 🧡 😊 🌞 🌟 🍀 🇵🇱 🏝 🏖 🌅 🧡 💙

fish=balik

It must be quite interesting to move from clean, spacious and orderly city like Warsaw is to that rush.

Hahahaha Bosporus is not River!!!!

Turkiye yemek cennetidir

Naomi, are you in blessing 🤰? Beginning of the video shows it look like Luke tinkering with you. Forgive me if I'm wrong 🥰. Love you Guys!!!

Western Armenia, which was part of Turkey, fell victim to Turkish chauvinist policies at the beginning of World War I, as a result of which Armenians were forcibly resettled from the front line. However, it was only a pretext for mass pogroms and extermination of Armenians. More than a million people died and about half a million were forcibly resettled in inhospitable areas. The Turkish troops behaved particularly brutally during the insidious massacre. They murdered not only men, but also women and small children. Where rifles were not enough, Armenian women and children were killed with machetes. The brutality with which they behaved has not yet been overcome. Armenians were murdered throughout the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Their main fault was that they were Christians. Turkey has not yet apologized to the Armenians or compensated them.

Dondurmacılar şu maymunluğu artık bıraksalar çünkü hiç komik değil birgün çok aksi birine çatacaklar

I'm quite disappointed about the lousy picture your video draws about Istanbul. First of all, the Bosphorus is not a river, but the only connection between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Despite the heavy maritime traffic and the high population along the shores, this strategic and unique strait between two continents has crystal clear waters full with sea life, including many dolphins. So, please do not confuse it with Thames. Furthermore, you seem to prefer only shabby backstreets of the city, and your frequent warnings about fake products, price differences and your detailed explanations about the cheapest kind of food etc. simply spoils the quality of this vlog. Why am I taking the time to write this? It's because I liked your videos about Canakkale and Alacati, and this one simply didn't match the others. Anyway, it's just my opinion, feel free to delete it or please consider it as constructive criticism. Enjoy your stay in Türkiye!

I didn't like the way you explain things, you shouldn't use the words like ridiculous or that kind frequently!! Be kind.

Good luck ,greeting from Poland
