WHY ARE AYVALIK AND CUNDA HIDDEN GEMS! (YouTube'de Türkçe altyazılı seçebilirsiniz)

[@Ozgur72]

My father side were immigrants from Skopje and Salonica. They have settled down around Edremit, Ayvalık and Dikili between 1917-1922. Ayvalık was a poor town in my childhood. Great to see tourism transformed it.

[@southface6684]

All the Turks in Anatolia are immigrants they steal everything from the Greeks

[@PoleStellaRossa]

I'm in love with you guys,love your videos so much.. Greetings from Kathy from Serbia. Like Turkey so much,amazing country,coming there for my holiday every year for the last 20 years

You guys are a gem for my country, Türkiye! You’re doing a fantastic job and very informative. Much love to you both🙏🏼❤️🦋

I love Turkey is absolutely amazing country !

[@hannaht212]

Another great view into Turkish living! Thanks! By the way, after 35 years of marriage, it finally dawned on me that I could cook Iskender at home!! We live away from Turkish eateries, and only get to them occasionally. I was so hungry for Iskender and then home cooking hit me. I am already well versed in the kitchen!! Many different parts of the meal made many pans to clean up. My resulting Iskender was lezzetli....right down to the toasted buttery cubes of flatbread! It was heaven x two nights. 😊❤😊

[@kerem.erdogan]

If the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Culture and Tourism did 1 percent of what you do, we would host many more tourists in our country. Video images, locations and explanations 10 out of 10

[@sweetrockification]

You never disappoint me, Mick amca. I’m the Thai woman who is obsessed with Turkiye. I subscribed your channel because you made great videos about Turkiye. My husband and I decided to do the roadtrip to Ayvalik after watching this video. Cok tesekkur ediriz. ❤

[@emreozbey9417]

I hope you have a wonderful trip with your husband. Welcome to Turkiye in advance ❤

[@mismar1921]

Thanks a lot for this vlog. There is a lot of respect to former christian population. In Greece they distroyed all mosques also the turkish graves. Athen is the only cqpital where still its not allowed to open a mosque.

[@michaelhadjimichael4778]

Go to North Cyprus and tell me if you find a church that hasn't become a mosque but if you go to the republic of cyprus the mosques still are mosques

[@michaelhadjimichael4778]

All turkey is built on greek history and all the influences is greek

[@mismar1921]

No history background? There are no greek since 2tousand years in asia. Eastrome were in before, but no greeks. In Turkiye they are called "Rum", from the romans. Therefore nothing have been built on greek history. In Anatolia were no greeks, Hititer yes, but no Greeks or Helens or Ionians.

[@michaelhadjimichael4778]

@@mismar1921 I think you need to go to a european or world library to find out about greek history. Palasgians minoans ionians aecheans Macedonians mycaenians then byzantines called by the turks rums upto this date are or hellenes .then took the name greek from the Italians who first did colonies in South Italy naples(neapoli) and scilly. All of this tribe or race is greek. What about ephasos smirni constantinople cappadocia who were these people what language did they speak. Don't just see one side of the coin if you want to be a fair man.

[@michaelhadjimichael4778]

And one other thing even in India about 2000 years ago there was 7 different greek kings .Read and you will learn

[@esztergom3721]

There are lots of very old Greek architectures in Turkey including churches well kept and protected but almost all Ottoman architectures built in Balkans were demolished years ago. I am proud to have those old churches in my country.

Thanks..very informative..

It's amazing that greek buildings have withstood time, yet turkish buildings literally start crumbling after 5 years.

Ayvalik is not as known as the popular touristic places such as Fethiye, Marmaris and Bodrum but if you want to stay in a place of tranquility Ayvalik would be the best choice. Thanks for the video.

The sea temperature around Edremit Gulf is generally so low because of the rivers and underground streams under the sea. Ören Beach in Burhaniye is the coldest beach I ever saw in Turkey. I was there in 80s as first time as a kid, and the places around Sarımsaklı Beach was more like a village and it was nicer. Other weird thing is that, in 80s, there was a lot of sea shells, crabs and sea stars there but it seems like they are all disappeared. One useless information. Sarımsaklı sounds very similar to "sarmısaklı" which means "with garlic". But the name comes from sarım-saklı which means "my blond is lost" which is based on a story about a blond girl. Around the gulf, there is "sarı kız" story which is quite similar to Ayvalık version.

[@mickandtrudie]

That’s really interesting. I bet most Turkish people think it comes from garlic

[@arslanekrem]

2:30 "Barbaros" is a "cadde", numbers are "sokak". "Cadde" is Arabic origin word "cādda (جادّة)" meaning "wide road, main road". They are also long roads, usually connecting two neighborhoods together. Meanwhile "Sokak" is from Akkadian language "sūḳāḳu" which used in Arabic as "zuḳāḳ (زقاق)", is usually smaller "street or passage" heading out from cadde to shops and homes. A "cadde" can have dozens or maybe a hundred "sokak"s connected to it depends on how long it is and how much developed/populated the area is.

Guys, I am writing right now a very long letter to the Ministry of Culture and ask them why they are sleeping on their hands. You two should have been named "Culture Ambassadors of Türkiye" by now ... Thanks a million for this nice video. Have been years since my last visit to Ayvalik. Time to plan a trip again ...

Mike and Trudie are doing their best to show how Turkiye is a beautiful country. I can not wait for the day I will call Turkiye my home.

[@konradholti9048]

Lovely videos and so nice a tourist can pronounce the words right. Where did you learn Turkish? I am German but grew up in Turkey in the 60 ies. Most places were just beginning to have Hotels . Now living in Canada, I feel so homesick to Turkey, not Germany. Every Turkish song I hear makes me want to cry. And people are even lovelier when one speaks their language! Thank you! Great job! Am ready to return.

[@mickandtrudie]

I learnt Turkish living in a Turkish village 🤠

[@Zeynep-xq4yr]

Geçen yaz Ayvalıktaydım, bu videodan sonra o kadar özledim ki. Gerçek bir kültürü var, asla bodrum gibi plastik değil. Evleri, ara sokakları, yemek kültürü, mimarisi her şeyiyle eşsiz bir yer, orada yediğim yemekleri unutamıyorum. fiyatlar da uçuk değil. Tek sıkıntısı denizinin soğuk olması, onun dışında 10/10.

[@ismailcoban3497]

Cold see what more

[@ayhan77276]

Bence farklı bir sıkıntı daha var ama sanırım siz fark etmediniz , belli aralıklarla duyduğum lağım kokuları . Muhtemelen giderler denize dökülüyor diye düşünüyorum.

[@nilgunsonat4170]

Thank you for showing in your videos that Turkish Cuisine is not only Kebap, meat and street food and we have many kinds of vegetable meals and seafood.

[@DarthW11]

Two days ago, I came back from spending a month exploring Istanbul, Türkiye. Honestly, the trip wouldn’t been possible if it wasn’t for all your videos and knowledge you have shared with us. Thank you and keep uploading amazing videos! 🤍 I’ll be going back next year to explore the Asian side too!

[@dannystoelzaet3318]

Best Trudie and Mick. I will definitely always watch your interesting and educational videos about Turkey. Thank you for all this useful information ! ! ! ! !

[@TR-Youtube-Channel]

When I was a child, I felt like I was on vacation everywhere in Türkiye. All areas were almost tourist-free compared to today. My opinion is that the locals have only come to love their old areas and old houses with the interest of tourists in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today it feels like every old building is being restored.

[@ericozt932]

Sarimsakli beach is one of my fav water has in the sea and Sandles

[@mogsev1006]

This was wonderful to watch. I have been going to Sarimsakli and Ayvalik now for 28 years, almost every year. We only had 3 days there in August so didn't realise they were developing the beach area. You should have went to Seytan Sofrasi. Wonderful views and a beautiful sunset, although very popular in the evening to watch the sunset. There is also some beautiful waterfalls not far away but a bit if a hike to them with a wonderful swimming hole. Thank you for showing us Ayvalik in your eyes. I am homesick for it now.

[@elisabetta4478]

Türkiye has versatile and European-level tourist destinations. It has it all, like it's said on Turkish Airlines spot❤

[@LutfiyeCevirmeci]

Your videos not only ordinary ,they are just like documentaries so big well done to both of you.

[@TripTipTravel23]

Oh, what a delightful video capturing the essence of Ayvalik! 🌟 I must say, Ayvalik truly is a hidden gem, and your video does a splendid job at showcasing its beauty and charm. 📝 From the moment you step foot in Ayvalik, you are enveloped in a world of wonder. The glistening turquoise waters, the quaint cobblestone streets, and the warm, welcoming smiles of the locals make you feel like you've found a piece of paradise. 🏖 The picturesque scenes of Ayvalik's islands, like Cunda, are nothing short of breathtaking. The crystal-clear sea, the olive groves, and the charming architecture make it a place you'll never want to leave. 🏝 But what truly sets Ayvalik apart is its rich history and culture. The old stone houses, the historic churches, and the vibrant bazaars all tell a story that goes back centuries. Exploring these treasures is like taking a journey through time. 🏰 And let's not forget the delectable food! Ayvalik is renowned for its fresh seafood and mouthwatering local dishes. Every meal is a culinary adventure, and the flavors are a symphony for the taste buds. 🍽 But it's not just the sights and flavors that make Ayvalik special. It's the people, the sense of community, and the warm hospitality that make you feel like you've found a second home. 💖 In Ayvalik, you can immerse yourself in the slow-paced, laid-back lifestyle, and it's a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The serene sunsets over the Aegean Sea are a testament to the tranquility and beauty that this hidden gem offers. 🌅 So, if you haven't already, I highly recommend adding Ayvalik to your travel bucket list. It's a place where you can relax, rejuvenate, and create beautiful memories. Ayvalik is more than a destination; it's an experience of a lifetime. 🌹🌿💙 Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, and I hope it inspires others to discover the magic of Ayvalik as well! 😊🎉👍 #Ayvalik #HiddenGem #TravelGoals 🌟
