Nice Jason great video coverage of those places really authentic. It always feels like one is there experiencing the visit with you. Take care and peace

Lovely Video as Always Jason! I will Definitely have to make a Return visit to Istanbul. I miss it. Thank you. Safe travels. ☘✌

Great vlog, thanks Jason!

Thanks! Hi Jason, Thanks for doing more of Istanbul. It’s at the top of my list of favorite cities. And you are at the top of my list of favorite travelers. Do you plan to go to Gaziantep?

Really enjoyed this video. I've been in Istanbul a few times and always enjoyed it. Very atmospheric and lively. My first time was 1973 where there were so many of those old bombed out American taxis dominating the traffic.

So nice, thank you🙏🌸🌸

Another great one Thanks again John in Chicago

Istanbul is the most magicval city in the world. Turks are amazing people!

Whoa! I am definitely going to Baran Et & Mangal! The food looks beautiful and delicious! 😍😋♥️

It's just a special city, isn't it? I visited a couple of times, in the '90s and again in 2013, the general vibe had changed quite a bit (and I'm sure it's changed since, a mix of politics and well, just time passing by) but on both occasions I fell in love with it... and I love finding all those Byzantine or Ottoman influences in other countries (the Balkans, Northern Greece, Cyprus...). Thanks for showing us lesser known parts of the city, I'm taking notes as I'm quite sure that somehow life will bring me there again

Beautiful Turkish woman❤️ Greeting from your little sister from here in Indonesia 🇮🇩

Thanks for showing those areas which people are not aware of

If you have the chance and want to see one of Istanbul's hidden gems that is often overlooked, then visit the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha Mosque a small but brillaint mosque hidden in a working class neighborhood. I think it is by far the most beautiful. Not the biggest but the tile work is unbelievable. It was constructed by the great Architect Sinan. I promise you wont regret seeing it. Even many Istanbul's resident are unaware of the stunning Mosque,

Nice video!

Your friend is stunning!

Heres something off topic and you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'...... .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :) In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name, partially or fully. Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages, but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :) Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's. The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to', just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc. Basically, the use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix in country names like Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on. Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old. Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble (to sound like) 'Türkiye' we got various spellings like; Turq-uía (in Spanish), Turch-ia (in Italian), Turq-uie (in French) Turk-ei (in German) Turk-ey (in English) Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named turkey.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German, but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years. Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)

The areas that you visited, but failed to explain and give historical context, are the old Greek and Jewish ones of Fener and Balat. They were heavily populated by these people until the devastating pogroms that drove them out. The brick building with the distinct 'Greek key' or meander pattern, is the Great Greek Orthodox School (Megali Scholi) and the building with the classical columns was the old Maraslis Greek school, Maraslis being a wealthy Greek benefactor originally from Odessa, who was also once mayor of that city, but that's another interesting story. The Princes' Islands off the coast of Istanbul, which was historically a summer vacation spot for the minority groups, in particular Greeks and Armenians, and whom left a very rich and beautiful belle-epoque architectural heritage there, including most of the mansions, churches, hotels and other buildings, is well worth visiting, as is the old Greek areas of Pera (Beyoglu), where you should see the amazing church of the Holy Trinity and the stately Zappeion Greek school adjoining it there, as well as the the Bosporus villages (lots of yalis built by Greeks) and the Kuzguncuk neighbourhood, which is arguably the most colourful and attractive old Greek and multi-ethnic area that you can visit in the city. Although the Greek community is much diminished in Istanbul today, and because they were exempt from the population exchange, although hounded in the fifties and sixties, they still own a plethora of property in prime locations in all the beautiful old historical areas, now worth in the billion$. www.tooistanbul.com/en/istanbul-fatih-fener-balat/ artofwayfaring.com/destinations/neighborhoods-of-istanbul-kuzguncuk/ www.romeartlover.it/Istanb17.html

Tbh Constantinople is a very beautiful city, has always been and will always be... East&Bull is not a good name, Cons... is a lot better and even more meaningful isn't it.

The previous girl was much better

I hate that part of Istanbul because they generally don’t like Ataturk and are not secular people. However I can see that you find those places interesting too!

Turkish Sultans saved Jews from Spain when Spanish Christians were massacring them and brought them to the Ottoman empire, most were settled around Balat area.
