Realistic TRAVEL DAY On A BUDGET & Our First Impressions Of ISTANBUL, Türkiye

[@benandhaley]

Istanbul really is such a vibe! We're here for the 3rd time right now and never want to leave each time haha. Hope you guys had a great time!

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Agreed! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Istanbul. Such a unique city 😊

[@Batman-xo3xy]

It's nice watching you two .. next few weeks I'll be in Istanbul again

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou for your kind words. That’s awesome, I’m sure you will enjoy your visit in Istanbul ☺️

[@db0455]

When you call Lahmacun a Pizza you anger both Italians and Turks 😂

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Ooops! haha didn't mean to do that! sorry 😂

[@onura.1170]

The neighborhood choice is a bit interesting to say the least but still may be that made the vid unique:) Probably you already learnt which places to visit inside the city, make sure you cross the bosphorus by a boat (quite a view) to Kadikoy and spend some time on the Anatolian side aswell. Best of luck, nice vids...

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes we have received a few comments about our neighborhood choice, but it was definitely interesting nonetheless! Thanks for the recommendations and glad you are enjoying the videos 😊

Love seeing Australians in the country that i was born in, migrated to Australia in 1984 😋

[@TheRoamingPickels]

We loved visiting Turkey! It is such a unique country. Glad to hear that you enjoy living in Australia 😊

[@ahmetsert7753]

Loved your vibes! Thank u for sharing 🙂

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

The Blue Mosque, (not 5 pm Friday) and Aya Sofya in Sultan Ahmet, Galata Tower, Istiqlal Caddesi off Taksim Square, Princes Islands on a sunny day, the Basilica Cistern and the Chora or Kariye Mosque had stunning Byzantine art, and the Sapphire Tower Lookout, Topkapi Palace and the Harem (closes 4:30 pm) and the archeological museum are all must sees. Ask if the new observation deck is worth it. People have complained they have roped off 3/4 of the observation deck of the Sapphire tower for customers only restaurants.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes there are so many incredible sights to see. In our next video, we visit quite a few of these that you have mentioned. We loved Istanbul! 😃

[@samert2]

Your neighborhood choice is not that great. Istanbul is mega city that you can find exactly everything in this city. you should see Kadıkoy . Don't forget see Beşiktaş and Caddebostan sides. Have a great days

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes we now have learnt maybe we did not stay in the best neighborhood but we definitely enjoyed our stay! Istanbul is certainly an interesting city 😊

[@halflifeTV]

I cringed when saw you guys eat the dessert before dinner lol Final episodes of Better Call Saul on tv was cool to see though :)

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha yeah we broke a universal law when we went straight for the desserts but we couldn’t help ourselves 😂 And yes, we definitely binge watched that series 😂

[@abatisSon]

You went to the worst season and the worst neighborhood. But Türkiye still makes you feel at home. Enjoy it.

[@fairysoul444]

İts not the worst season

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Haha yes we possibly did, however, we enjoyed our time in Istanbul and we were happy to be there 😊

[@avigares]

How did u guys manage to get worst neighbourhood for the airbnb ? 😂

[@TheRoamingPickels]

The price was right for the Airbnb 😂 but now we know for next time lol

[@murattahan2391]

👍👍👍

[@mrttrm9504]

👍🌷💕

[@murataydemir3665]

Wrong choice for air bnb , worst part of the city

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes we have received that feedback a few times now, whoops 😂

[@leventyaraman1693]

İstanbul'da çok güzel semtler var,kaldığınız yer hiç güzel değil 😏

[@Sirius-Voyager]

But you didn’t mention to answer of what you didn’t expect from Istanbul on the title ?

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Honestly, we didn't know what to expect when heading there, but we just fell in love with the energy of Istanbul 😊

[@Sirius-Voyager]

@@TheRoamingPickels North side of İstanbul is natural ,green places as Şile and Ağva.Spectacular.

[@Psikotrexex]

Guys you are staying at the one of the worst neighborhood in mega city of Istanbul LOL !

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Lol yes we have been told that a few times now, whoops 😂

[@ahmadmustakhimabdmutalib59]

😂Nice vids

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed watching.

[@CoinEngineer00]

Wow Lahmacun, great 👍 Dont call it pizza tho.

[@TheRoamingPickels]

We loved it! And yes, apologies for the incorrect description of it. We are very average with describing traditional food 😅

[@Zykopath01]

Hello, is this a city in Europe? buildings and structures are very similar to european

[@KOONOS]

both in europe and asia but they filmed in europe side of İstanbul

[@utku_baloglu]

Turkey is partly located in Europe, and all of Eastern Europe was under Turkish rule for centuries. Therefore its quite similar.

[@ayhankaracaoglu6845]

What an unncessary question.

[@TolgaKarlilar]

Referring to a city like Istanbul as "this" is a bit odd, a bit like referring to London, New York, Paris, or Tokyo. It is one of the greatest, biggest and most popular cities, actually the most visited city in the world last year.

[@Zykopath01]

beyler sakin olun bizi övdüm çaktırmayın

[@haralamboskondakis136]

ulan fiyatlara bak vazelinsiz gecirmisler gecmis olsun

[@mentesIV]

"not what we expected" ?!!1 Dude this is a living city, not a disneyland; you have to googled to find the good place... ??

[@TheRoamingPickels]

if anything, it was better than we expected. We thoroughly enjoyed Istanbul 😊

[@Hakankirbas]

Abi sizin kusunuz 🐦 kalkiyormu 🥒🤓

[@leventyaraman1693]

Kaldığınız yer çok kötü, İstanbul'da harika yerler var😉

[@TheRoamingPickels]

Yes we have since received many comments saying the same thing. It’s probably safe to say we will be staying in a different area next time we visit haha 😂
