Istanbul's European vs. Asian Sides l STRAIGHT TALK EP. 45

[@tonyendaz544]

If you prefer a more suburban environment to live in, then the Asian side will be a better choice. I grew up on the Asian side and would not trade it for the European side, you can always go into the European side for a night out or day trip at any time. The bottom line is, you're not going to find too many other places to live in the world with this amount of historical and cultural richness. I love Turkiye, Cifte Havuzlar!!!

This show is making me a fan of Cameron and Allattin. Job well done 👍 I came to the same conclusion after my research so it is good to see that you have provided more facts and enforced it. Thanks

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

thank you , Glad you're enjoying it 🙏

[@tariqmajeed58]

Your episodes are excellent source of information. I just love your programs

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

Happy to hear that Tariq!

[@immobilienmaklermitkopf4992]

I love this show. Just discovered it. The information help a lot! It's so true what you say about the Asian and Europe side and how it is seen by foreigners.

[@guerreirodaliberdade7800]

Superb talk guys, informative!! Thanks from Brazil. Please do an episode on future metro lines projects, especially from Beylikduzu and IST-SAW fast rail, and another episode on the likely consequences of Kanal Istanbul?

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

We will!

[@riccardo4073]

Good talk guys, as always... I’d definitely look at Kadikoy myself when the time comes, somewhere close to the great shopping district and waterline.

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

Good call! 🙏

[@sglasgowaz]

Wow, again, I need to sweep for bug devices lol. You keep doing topics that I have dealt with. I was just on the Asian side looking for a temporary rental while we shop for a permanent home. My fiancee's family lives on the Asian side and since she lives on the European side, we rented me a flat for the last year near here. I just spent almost a week on the Asian side and is is way more relaxed I felt. Although I knew that already having spent a day there when I first got here. Keep up the videos, they are useful.

[@MuhammadAwais-eh3gd]

Ouh my dear brother Allatten That's reallyyy verrrryyyy nice and honest review Over all i must say 90% people don't know about these facts

[@quirkytravelswithjess7080]

Spent three out of 5 months on the Asian side of Istanbul last year and would've made 5 out of 5 months had I discovered the area sooner. You are so right in this wrong perception of 'the other side of town' that foreigners have about the Asian side and many just do the touristy things on the European side- which are also beautiful but don't stay long enough to hop over the Bosphorous. Yet it is such a treat for the few who do manage to find all the treasures of the city.

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

Well noted, Jessie!

[@muahmed4411]

It's a good video as a relative kept saying the Asian side is much better, cleaner, modern, safer, etc which confused me as most talk about the European side and the Asian side seems cheaper. Also, Cameron please increase Aladin's salary so he can buy some socks. If you want we can start a GoFund Me page.

[@kaymirza]

Who are the haters not liking this video!!! Thank you for sharing once again, Allattin & Cameron I thoroughly enjoy your videos and the content...you guys are just too good Masha’Allah. I can’t wait to move to Turkey and call Istanbul my home, my city ❤️

Hi DreamLife Turkey. Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

I appreciate that , thank you so much 🙏

[@Chris-gs7cq]

Perhaps you could do a video on where to find the best value on the Asian side for $250k. Is there an equivalent to Zekeriyakoy or Kemerburgaz? People interested in the citizenship by investment program might like to know where the best value can be found.

[@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780]

[@markdarnell614]

I shouldn't say this - because I don't want everyone to know, but Uskudar, and especially Kuzguncuk (Asian-side) are not only really lovely places - Kuzguncuk is absolutely GORGEOUS!

[@elmarsadikhov5325]

Best explanation of better place in Istanbul

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

Much appreciated, Elmar.

[@lerryperry]

Istanbul is a Eurasian City in a Eurasian Country (Turkey). From what I have seen, there are cultural elements of both Europe and Asia on both sides of the Bosphorous. Furthermore, if I am investing in Istanbul , I want to be in an area of the City that is greener, where the air is fresher and where the atmosphere is more relaxed, but not boring. For me, the Asian side is the perfect fit.

[@sheriselassauw8713]

Well, there is definitely a lack of information because I am looking for a place in the asian side as an international student and it is very hard to find a place

[@reiyashdean]

I really enjoy this channel

[@lisafan1944]

thanks for sharing ur perspectives which is very useful for a foreigner. Where is 'cartel' mentioned in the video pls? Am I correct on the spelling?

[@lerryperry]

I have another perspective about the bias of foreign investors towards the European Side of Istanbul. Because the Asian of Turkey is very close to the Middle East, I think that a lot of foreign investors fear that conditions on the Asian Side of Istanbul are like those in the Middle Eastern countries and the western media portrays a very negative view of the Middle East. Coupled of these, there is the fear that because Turkey is a majority Muslim country, these investors probably believe that there is an increased likelihood of terrorist activity on that side of Istanbul. Personally I do not have that fear and if I had the resources, I would go to Kadikoy.

[@borakaracan6108]

The Nile is actually wider than the bosphorus

[@KkKKkKKKKK709]

Such elaborated talks

[@junaidzaidi708]

Okay. Asian side is better in crime rate, standard of living etc etc , I get it. Does it also provide more ROI as well? Lets assume if I have 200K, where should I buy property/apartment for 5 yr turn around. Where would I get more for my investment?

[@dreamlifeturkey2946]

Any day Asian side will give better ROI.

[@saphirejackson6355]

As an Istanbul lover I can say that it's a fact, that only a few places are making the European side attractive, like the typical historical places (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand/Spice Bazaar etc.) and the nightlife area starting from Taksim and going through the Bosphorus line (Ortaköy, Kurucesme, Bebek etc.). After my Erasmus year in Istanbul, I realized that the Asian side is much better to live (safety, life costs) and fell in love with the Asian Bosphorus line starting from Beylerbeyi till Anadolu Hisarı - Love!

[@iloyaa6760]

You solved this problem, I live on the European side, but we always wanted to live on the Asian side, especially in Kadıköy, we always go to the Asian continent with my friends to have fun. People on the Asian side are more modern in mentality, in short, the Asian continent is more European than the European continent😂

[@saphirejackson6355]

@@iloyaa6760 exactly!

[@morzsaoszkar7325]

Guys! I love your talks they are really great! One question: If the Asian part is better as you say, why the Asian side is cheaper in every way?

[@Spanishexpat12]

Love your videos from Spain! I would like one video of the two of you talking about real estate in Ankara. Particularly in the neighborhood of Cankaya. Keep up the good stuff!

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

thank you , noted !

[@euphoricrain775]

I’ve recently visited both sides. The Asian side is more conservative mainly. The European side seemed more westernized in culture.

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

Thanks for sharing your observation with us Euphoric rain.

[@davidniki1406]

Is this true you can't buy any liquor in the asian side of Istanbul from the supermarket?

[@akramkhan-rr3ee]

What the local Turks won’t understand that foreign investors r basically not looking for safer and cleaner aspects of Asian side but rather prefer more commercial and comparatively unsafe aspects of European side. Foreign investors don’t want to see turkey as their home. Asian side seems more residential then commercial.

[@mas3116]

Please don't delete and answer me too, 95% property brought by Turkish only around 5% is foreigner so why Most and large amout of Turkish buy in Europe side?

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

all the population of the European side is 3 times of the Asian side. So it's only natural that more properties are sold in the European side rather than the Asian side.

The thing is Aladdin/ Cameron ..I am not seeing as good deals in the Asian side as I am seeing in Europe...price wise , the properties on the Asian side are mostly expensive High rises..and more of a lifestyle type of investment.

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

Hi Sammy, European side is a historic hub of Istanbul. Asian side offers better quality and more laid back lifestyle.

[@wasim_ak]

Very well explained. Great 👍

[@haruyanto8085]

But what if most of the interesting projects like Büyükyali or Taksim 360 are located in the European side?

[@spicesindian5343]

whiich side is ideal for investors who invest not for living there ,but for renting it out!

[@user-ov2tm2un1r]

definitely the european side for investing and renting , to be more specific the center of istanbul 🙏

Dear God💗❤️♥️💖💕💕💖💕❤️💞🙏in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the , life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.
