Thanks so much for watching we appreciate the support!!! Have a wonderful cruise : ) We also did a couple of videos on Dolmabache Palace, The Grand Bazaar, doing an authentic turkish bath and don't miss out on the Bascilica Cistern, it probably was my favorite.

[@scottsdaletravelchick]

[@LovelikeJesus192]

Very informative and nicely done video. New as of January 2024, there is an entry fee for foreign tourists. The cost is almost $28 or €25.

[@scottsdaletravelchick]

Good to know. Thank you!

[@mskrh640]

Thank you.

[@scottsdaletravelchick]

You are so welcome. Hope that helps plan your vacation to Istanbul.

[@kathyolson8085]

I really like the map. Where did get this map? Thank you for the video.

[@SlappyToad]

Great video! Is it a safe place for solo women?

[@adriannealvord9023]

Is it true that the grand bazaar is triple the price than just buying same the items outside of the bazaar ? I’m going to Turkey next year with my church and I want to stay in a budget

[@scottsdaletravelchick]

I have not heard that. Prices are all over, do you research a little bit before going to the market so you know what to pay. I was looking at a Louis Vuitton fake bag & some stores were charging $350 & I got them down to $180. There is a huge markup in the market & any of the stores in Istanbul. And very important if they ask you for some Turkish tea it means they want you to stay in the store longer - which means you are most likely to purchase from them

[@Largeportion1000]

Budget does not it exists in Turkey. Italy France Spain Portugal Croatia Germany Greece All cheaper some way cheaper.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

It's not a river. It's a strait/canal. That's like calling the panama canal a river.

[@Sam-sn5hb]

Your advice about a taxi from the airport as the best is inaccurate. At about $3.50 per person, Havaist bus is the absolute best way to get to Istanbul center especially for single travelers. It runs every few minutes, a nice luxurious bus, plenty of space for luggage and you pay the driver with a credit card.

[@stevebartley628]

Hagia Sophia is not free now

[@stevebartley628]

Neither is Topkapi

[@recruitmentrd]

Taxi scam is everywhere.. public transpo is so difficult to navigate..

[@scottsdaletravelchick]

Yes! Like we say in the video, the tram line is quite useful, easy, and effective - but you can’t trust those taxi guys! (The taxi app does help though).

[@Largeportion1000]

Take your chèque book because its pricey and scams galore and hidden taxes on drinks and meals and alot of forcive sellers. Transport is reasonably priced but unless you are confident train/tram traveler In dence crowds not easy. Warning prices have more than doubled even trippled since the release of this vlog.

[@przoch5835]

very interesting and usefull video, but I cant stan one thing : Bosfor IS NOT A RIVER !!!

[@jeannekaminski1660]

Great video, however, your name, Travel “chick” is a bit offensive and archaic.

[@scottsdaletravelchick]

Hmmmmm sorry you feel like that I came up with our name to our travel channel on my own. Love being known as The Scottsdale Travel Chick ✈️ thanks for watching
