ISTANBUL TRAVEL VLOG | Cats of Istanbul, Eating Cağ Kebab & the Grand Bazaar

Istanbul, Turkey | CATS OF ISTANBUL.
Come spend a day touring Istanbul with us! If you don't know, now you know that Istanbul is the city of cats. They are everywhere - hundreds of thousands, maybe millions live alongside the 15 million residents of Istanbul. And many are friendly! If you're a cat person, this city is for you. And we go on a bit of a petting spree in this video.
Istanbul is also home to incredibly delicious cuisine. Here, we try cağ kebap, lamb slow-cooked over a wood fire and served on skewers. Here's where we went in this video:
1. 22 Restaurant Bar in Chihangir, Beyoglu for coffee and tea
2. Sehzade for cağ kebap
3. The Grand Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world. Touristy, but worth a visit. And if you look deeper you'll find one-of-a-kind antiques, jewelry, and more. We barely scratch the surface here, but wanted to give you a peak inside!

We were in Istanbul early Feb…The way they cook lamb is another level

[@travelstreetfoodvlog]

While we were eating at the restaurant in Kadıköy, Istanbul, a stray cat came and joined our meal. I added the video to our channel. Turkey is like a paradise for stray cats.

[@user-pg7pq1ib9r]

I don't understand why foreigners suprise when they see we love cats and dogs. They are full of love. They have pure love of course we love em. And of course we teach our children to love animals.

[@DotsonaMap]

We love this about Turkey!

[@emrepekediz]

I am turquoise and have never traveled abroad before. I don't understand why they

[@hopeless-biri]

You should shoot a long episode for Istanbul cats. Then you can shoot a separate section for the dogs of Istanbul and even a separate episode while feeding the seagulls by throwing bagels from the ferry. I am sure they will all be followed.

[@DotsonaMap]

Love this idea! Next time we go back 😻

[@ScruffyCharms]

Great video! the guy feeding you was hilarious haha

[@DotsonaMap]

Haha yes!!! I was feeling very shy about that 🙈

[@annasandraumboh9336]

Heaven for cats

Yep. ✌️

[@mehmetcimendag4067]

it was fun when the cat hit you with its paw after you said it's my favorite cat. I hope it didn't hurt 😀

[@DotsonaMap]

😂 it was ok! But he didn't trust me the same after that haha

[@mehmetcimendag4067]

@@DotsonaMap cats in our country are emotional, If he saw you petting another cat, he was jealous. it won't take long to trust again ahahahha 😀I am pleased you are well😉

I think Cağ Kebab is the best Kebab in all Turkey.

[@DotsonaMap]

This one was really incredible!

[@emurlayasan8967]

Bizim kültürümüzde olan şeyler. Hayvan sevgisi ve yemek kültürümüz tartışılamaz bile. yardımsever bir toplum anlayışımız var. Bir gün deneme yapın her hangi bir dükkana gidin ve aç olduğunuzu söyleyin. Sonra şaşırdın. Çünkü size sadece yemek vermekle kalmaz para verir ve ihtiyaçlarınızı sorarlar. Genelde böyleyiz.

[@arafahpt6957]

[@tumbleweeduk7479]

Nice to see that one of your cats had a chip out of his ear to show that it had been neutered as however kind the Turkish people are it is very hard on the females to keep reproducing and the males to be fighting. Namaste 😻💜😻

🇹🇷 Thousand Years of Genetics is Turkish Culture.. Turks had the same feeling before they became Muslims..!!ALLÂH also created animals. He Created Them Free too.. He created friends to people.. Still, they need people. For this reason, they are entrusted to people.. They are our test of humanity.. Until today, they learn something from us and we have learned from them..!! It teaches us to love nature / to live peacefully with differences and raise our spirituality.. Our Feeling of Being Human Increases..!! Turks Have This Thought..!!

[@Doyle69]

Today I learnt there is a country run by cats that have 15million human slaves.
