Istanbul is such a unique place. We've enjoyed our time here 👍 but it is expensive. Thank you for watching 🙏

Turkey has such a rich culture in food with so so many choices but we have only seen you eat burack/doner and sweets. Have you tried anything else?

[@OurTinyAdventure]

We tried lots of food in general, but didn't film everything. Thank you for watching 🙏

Good luck guys , just find you. i live in istanbul Kadıköy area.. good city but very expensive :(

[@OurTinyAdventure]

Thank you so much. We've enjoyed our time, but yes it has become very expensive. I hope prices improve for the local economy. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Lebisss]

You should go to Land of Legends in Antalya. It’s really nice for the kids

[@OurTinyAdventure]

We almost went a couple times, but regrettably we never made it. Thank you for watching 🙏

[@TR-Youtube-Channel]

The means of transport in Istanbul are great. You can get from place to place very quickly. I would just avoid taking a taxi. Already in the opening credits of the video I see the rip-off. 🙂 At the moment, Istanbul and the whole of Türkiye are quite expensive. They have adapted to the EU and will soon overtake them in terms of price.

[@haytac8]

Simit was the original bagel. Austrians learned about it during the siege of Vienna. It looked like the spur of a horseman: bogel. It went to the US via the Jewish immigrants from Austria.

[@TUNC66]

Don't be ridiculous, what you're talking about is crossant, not simit.

[@haytac8]

@@TUNC66 It is both. Bogel Almanca da suvarinin cizmelerinin arkasindaki civili yuvarlk. Ati zorlamak icin kullanilir. I live in California. First read this in a Herb Caen column in SF Chronicle about 50 years ago.

[@OurTinyAdventure]

Cool to know 👍 Thanks for watching

[@HelloBalkans]

@@TUNC66 iste diyor ki SImit original, viyenalialr onu ogrenip amerikaya goturmusler, niye alindin

ma man loves baklava hahaha great vid

[@OurTinyAdventure]

Ah it's the best! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@MEG-gd3dl]

You re so welcome heree. Maybe I can say some places that you dont recognize. Üsküdar/Kuzguncuk/Beylerbeyi Palace Emirgan Korusu(You can walk under there its a big garden and then you can reach the sea side and watch bosphorus). In besiktas the best doner i had(Karadeniz Dönercisi) you can try it. Kadıköy Moda side(nice cafes and sea view) And you should be careful about the expensive prices in touristic areas. You can prefer more local places. Take caree

[@OurTinyAdventure]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@ilsa_xo]

Not a bagel; it's Simit (or Gevrek) it's like a Turkish soft pretzel.

Why, are they dangerous? We didn't have any bad experiences. We also took the bus many times. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻

[@ozcan2426]

@@OurTinyAdventureI'm a Turk. Taxi drivers here are a big problem right now. When we get into a taxi, they first ask us where we're going. That's why they pick us up. They usually pick up tourists, mostly rich Arabs, and they take them for high prices and defraud them.

[@OurTinyAdventure]

Wow, I was not aware. Thanks for sharing 👍

You mixed unrelated foods. I hope you don't get sick.

175 lira for a kebab is to much.

This was on the cheaper side. Things are very expensive now due to inflation.

Doner kebab is also a big thing in Belgium Germany and Holland

[@OurTinyAdventure]

Best Doner I've had was in Germany 👍 Thanks for watching!

@@OurTinyAdventure True Germany has the best Doner compared to these countries around it. Many people even say it here in Holland aswell
