EXPLORING KADIKOY AND THE ASIAN SIDE 🇹🇷 A DIFFERENT SIDE OF ISTANBUL TURKEY
We headed over to the Asian side of Istanbul and explored the Kadikoy neighbourhood. We explored the Moda area before grabbing some traditional Turkish food for lunch. We then headed to an amazing shopping centre before watching the sunset up at the Camlica Mosque.

I'm so jealous about that food. Looks so fresh and natural, I mean with no artificial stuff inside.

[@AshandKels]

It was so delicious, the food in Turkey is insanely good!!

[@DikWhite]

Hi guys! I'm a British expat living in Moda so I enjoyed seeing your impressions of Kadıköy which has become my home town. I had to link my HES code (issued by the Ministry of Health) to my İstanbulkart to get it reactivated last year. Did the official ask you for a code and/or covid status before activating your cards?

[@AshandKels]

We had to show our health forms at the information desk and the guy did it for us! We’re on a bus to Izmir today and again the bus company asked for our HES code and we showed the health form ☺️

[@feyzh5186]

I really enjoy these istanbul vlogs! Keep em coming! 👍🏻💯

[@AshandKels]

Thank you so much for watching! There’s plenty more to come 😁

[@markwarchol3139]

It looks like an American type of flatbread with toppings on it. Here in Chicago it’s absolutely delicious and I’m sure in Istanbul you guys are enjoying it very much. Kudos to you both!

[@AshandKels]

It was delicious, thank you!

[@travelleryildirim3013]

Again a nice Vlog with good food ;) ...the best Malls what you can visit by Metro very easy is ZORLU CENTER( very Huge Apple Store Glas Shop there and Musical Theaters..) & ISTINYE PARK & ISTANBUL KANYON ( Great Architecture)

[@AshandKels]

Thank you very much! And thank you for the recommendations 😃

[@DikWhite]

Ash and Kels visited AKASYA which is just three metro stops from Kadıköy and is probably the best mall on the Anatolian side of Istanbul.

[@grdaa2738]

bravo size ilk defa istanbulun farklı yerlerie gidip video yaptığınız için.

[@EWAMILENAP]

You are walking such a long distance daily on your four little 👣👣Well done!💪Brilliant vlog!

[@AshandKels]

We love exploring the city by walking, we feel like we get to see more of the city that way 😄 thank you!

[@mikeadamson6696]

Great presentation , nice to see you enjoying yourselves

[@AshandKels]

Thank you, we’re having a great time here 😀

[@rafalronko4373]

I'm subscribing to you and watching and I hope you will agree that UK residents should visit other corners of the world more often, greetings Polish citizen living in Wales

[@AshandKels]

Thank you! We totally agree, we're excited to visit more countries, especially ones with totally different cultures, cuisines and hopefully climates haha!

[@rafalronko4373]

If you want, I will give you places in Poland where youtubers made good movies, best regards@@AshandKels

[@tadroid3858]

Adding stop at Istanbul to Bucket List Mediterranean cruise! Wow!!

[@AshandKels]

Would highly recommend! It’s an amazing city 😍

[@notmyname8527]

I've looked at many videos. Finally i found Coke and fries. Packing my bags now

[@birtutamfurkan988]

Guys I'm so happy u exploring more local places.))) Please visit Beşiktaş , Nişantaşı, Ortaköy . There are much more places to visit

[@AshandKels]

We were in the besiktas area today, by macka park and the vodaphone stadium ☺️ thanks for the recommendations!

[@erx2043]

Don't forget to try Lahmacun as well, with squeezed lemon - it's a must & also literally everyones favourite Turkish food is "Iskender Doner" which is Doner (red meat) + Turkish bread on a plate with tomatoe sauce, yogurt & melted red pepper butter. Best place to try it is "Kebapci Iskender - İskenderoğlu ve Evlatları". The shop is owned by the descendents of the guy who literally invented the "Iskender Kebap" dish hundreds of years ago & therefore the name of the shop & the name of the dish are literally named after him, Iskender - which is his first name. The shop was created by Iskender & has been around for hundreds of years - they only sell one dish & this is it Alternatively, there are many good Iskender Doner in Izmir too

[@AshandKels]

Is this shop in Istanbul? As we’ve left now but may be going back for a day or two at the end of our Turkey trip

[@DubCmusicTV]

@@AshandKels the place around the ferry in Kadikoy.

[@TUNC66]

Kadıköy, where I was born and raised, have a good time.

[@AshandKels]

It’s a great place! Bet you had some good times growing up there ☺️

[@TUNC66]

When my friend didn't have pizza, we had pita, bon appetit.

[@AshandKels]

The food in Turkey is delicious! Thank you for watching 😃

[@erx2043]

The reason you need to activate the cards seperately is because they needs to be associated with your HES codes or passport number. This way, if you make contact with anyone carrying the virus, the government will be able to notify you (contact tracing). I believe the HES codes or passport needs to be verified by an actual human being

[@AshandKels]

We thought so, seems like a new thing as before you were able to share one card between a people I believe? It makes sense, was an easy process once we knew where to go!

[@emre-dogan-istanbul]

Nice channel nice videos . Do you live in Turkey ? In any case I suggest you to make more videos in İstanbul . It is so much fun a lot of opportunities 😍👍

[@AshandKels]

Thank you! We don’t, we live in Wales and are just currently travelling ☺️ but we agree, Istanbul is an amazing city! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@markwarchol3139]

Ashley, that lemonade needs some Polish vodka lol, enjoy!

[@AshandKels]

Haha, think we’re having a break from vodka for now!

Amazing nice Trip

[@AshandKels]

Thank you so much ☺️ we really appreciate the kind words!

[@selimylmaz7482]

@@AshandKels You re welcome

[@Uyuzefe]

Those cards come out without any credit in them, you could use the same machine you got them from to add some

[@AshandKels]

We had to link the cards with our HES codes, this is why we couldn’t put credit on the cards straight away!

[@Uyuzefe]

@@AshandKels I moved before the HES stuff so I didn't know that haha

[@hrob6381]

What was the name of the mosque at the end where you watched the sunset?

[@owly5637]

2:07 Actually you didn't have to activete it before covid. HES code came up after covid and it needs your passport info and stuff. So giving all that info to a ticket machine wouln't be safe. Turkish citizens can match their card with their ID from an app but i don't really know if tourists can do it on their own.

[@AshandKels]

We read this online, we struggled to do it online! But it was really easy once you went to the information desk and they sorted it for us ☺️

[@AaqibAli1993]

What is the total cost if a couple stays in Turkey for 10 days?

[@AshandKels]

It really depends on how much you want to spend! You could do it on a very small budget or splash out and spend a lot!

[@kayacenk4164]

istanbul very huge city and u guys seen only %10 percent.

[@AshandKels]

I don’t think you’d be able to see all of Istanbul even if you lived here it’s so big!

[@bulutseven989]

I beg you, don't make videos with arabic music anymore. Turks are not Arabs. You are right, there are many Arab immigrants, but our own melodies will be better. ahhhh don't forget ... have a good time🙃🙂

[@AshandKels]

We’re a bit limited to what music we can use, we found this music underneath “Middle East and Balkan music”. Thank you ☺️

[@bulutseven989]

​@@AshandKels You'd better look at it as ''anatolian music'' 😊

Hi. What’s the name of the mall in Kadikoy?

[@AshandKels]

Honestly I have no idea 😅 I think it was outside of Kadikoy a little. It was in a really modern area
