SAFRANBOLU - Incekaya Aqueduct, Crystal Terrace + Cave Cafe | TURKEY

[@maydomuz]

09:52 Sign on the left; “Teras Üzerinde Zıplamayınız” “Do not jump on the terrace” 😅

[@PeterandYen]

O my gosh so embarrassing 😅 thanks for pointing that out to us

[@Hedriks]

Safranbolu seems to be my fav place so far. I don't know much about Turkey, but I know they have a rich history and when you look at the buildings, you can see the history of prominent eras built into its structures.

[@PeterandYen]

Very true the country is rich with history from multiple kingdoms that have called the region of Anatolia home. Fascinating to explore all the different cities 😯

[@Mediterraneou]

Tarhana soup: Tarhana powder is prepared by mixing plain yogurt, flour, and grated vegetables like red pepper, tomato, and onion into a thick paste that is left to ferment for several days. The paste is then divided up, dried, and crumbled to make tarhana powder.

[@PeterandYen]

😯 thank you so much for this. Such an interesting preparation process. Sounds like you could make a lot of it and keep it for when you want to drink.

[@AllForTheGame]

very good videos, keep up the good work.

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you 😊

[@AO-oy4rf]

Wish I had gone to Safranbolu when was in Turkey years ago. You will love Cappadocia though as it is truly unreal. Still just in the jandals I see Peter - a bit freaky when on the acquaduct!

[@PeterandYen]

It's such a hidden lil gem 💎 the town has a special place in our hearts. Jandals all the way hahaha

[@nickandhelmi]

Wow that’s really huge snail!!🐌

[@PeterandYen]

😂👍

[@Hedriks]

I love the cavern-like cafe. Nice little coffee stop. And also the Viaduct is quite the Masterpiece, as much of the architectural structures there are. 👍 My knees would be a bit wobbly if I were to walk on it, being that high up (and no rails).

[@PeterandYen]

😁 the no rails part makes it so much more exciting though hahaha. Really cool to be able to walk across one finally 🙌

[@rlim9947]

Coffee in a cave, how special ! Good video, guys. 👍

[@PeterandYen]

Such a cool lil shop 😎

[@mariaandbryan]

Aqueducts are awesome pieces of architecture from the Romans, it truly makes us travel through history when we see one. That is a fantastic view in the middle of nature. So, memorable! Coffee does not keep me up at all, I can have a coffee and go right to sleep, no problem. Lieles though doesn't like coffee at all. Cool to know about the taxi. It is information that we always wonder about, especially in places where you can't just stop a taxi in the street. What a delicious combination of dishes you have there Peter. All seem delish!

[@PeterandYen]

You're lucky Maria! Must have taken some training to get it like this right? But I just can't.. the effect of caffeine is just too strong on my system. Even the Turkish black tea keeps me up usually on those nights I'll only sleep 4 hours or so. If you guys make it to safranbolu let us know 😁 keen to hear about your adventures from there

[@travelwithradi9124]

Wow lovely 😊

[@PeterandYen]

👍😊

[@luceliaperalta5496]

Imagino que vocês estão se divertindo muito nessa viagem...abraços do Brasil!

[@PeterandYen]

Obrigado, estamos indo bem na Turquia. gostando de viajar, mas voltará para casa na Nova Zelândia em breve. como sobre você?

[@donbrashsux]

What a Fantastic vid series this is .. well done guys I definitely want to visit Turkey with all its amazing sights food and the people

[@PeterandYen]

What makes it super interesting is that every city and town has had something very unique that gives it its own special identity. Not to mention regional culinary delight too. Really great country to explore can't recommend it enough 👍

[@RudyVisuals]

Catching up on all your Turkey adventures! Never heard of Safranbolu but it looks great! The views at the crystal terrace were amazing!

[@PeterandYen]

😁 safranbolu was an unexpectedly amazing stop on our travels

[@nikkilogan7726]

Safranbolu really amazes me!! The Aqueduct, the turkish coffee in a cave, the spectacular view.... you guys amazes us all with your Turkish trips. Support you all the way guys Loving your Turkish vlogs 😎🇹🇷💖✨ Thanks Peter & Yen

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Nikki 😁🤙 was an awesome couple of days in safranbolu. If you ever make the trip to turkey highly recommend visiting 👌

[@nickandhelmi]

Is that Turkish dumplings? All the food are really interesting!! I don’t think we ever eaten much of food with saffron so keen to try

[@PeterandYen]

It's an interesting ingredient to me... I can't taste it too be honest but the color looks awesome 😅

[@PeterandYen]

The more common version of tourist dumplings are called Manti. We've been having a lot of them during our travels 🤤

[@brainletcommunity]

Hi Peter and Yen 😍

[@PeterandYen]

😁🤙

[@nickandhelmi]

Expect the unexpected🤩 but pretty sure there are so much stairs😂 We love Turkish coffee, very strong 💪🏻and agree you guys got the best view😍

[@PeterandYen]

Such a cool random day out, we ended up having quite a few unexpected adventures here in turkey 🇹🇷

[@darylmckay]

Safranbolu has been amazing with so many delights. The food all seems incredible and cave coffee is a perfect treat. I hope Peter was able to sleep after trying Turkish coffee ☕️

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha I just took a small sip so it was an good. Can be so bad though cause everyone keeps giving me free Turkish tea and then at night sometimes I'll get only a few hours of sleep 😴 We miss safranbolu a lot want to go back there someday 😢

[@darylmckay]

@@PeterandYen sleep is overrated anyway 😴 🤣 unlike Safranbolu 😃

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yes! You're right, often enjoy letting sleep take a backseat to adventure. Life's more fun that way

[@darylmckay]

@@PeterandYen very true 👍

[@stewartl5109]

Kia ora you guys.. A question did you take your drone with you on this trip? 😊🙏🏻

[@PeterandYen]

Kia Ora 😁🤙 we didn't bother since the drone laws are now very strict in turkey with very harsh consequences for breaking them

[@stewartl5109]

@@PeterandYen I see … I agree! Always need to stay within the laws as equipment is too expensive these days to replace being complacent 👌👍 when are you back in the “Land of the long white Cloud “? I need to take a trip soon to see my family as it’s been a while.. Plus I want to take some drone footage of my home town and grandparents home town Tolaga Bay and Gisborne 😊🫢👍 Your videos that you both turnout are so enjoyable Cuz’s🤣😆 and I always look forward to watching each episode! My home is Vietnam 🇻🇳 now and it’s been 3.5 years since I’ve even traveled back to OZ 🦘my second home. Take care 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@PeterandYen]

Ooo cool! Would love to live in Vietnam for a longer stretch the visa 1 month stay always feels way too short. We will be coming home to New Zealand soon because our good friend is getting married there soon so it'll be cool to see everyone again. We have a lot of turkey videos still on the way though 😁

[@bromie21]

id totally have had vertigo!

[@PeterandYen]

😂 it's a weird sensation vertigo.. could feel a bit of that when we were looking over the edge

[@intrepidadventurer1932]

Finally up to date with your videos and yeah you have done a wonderful job on doing these videos! Yeah I find those ancient structures and indeed how they would have been built with archaic technology quite incredible! So lucky to see and adventure on the aquaduct! Perhaps lack of technology back then! Hey if the coffee is strong, then I'm in! Wow Peter trying the coffee, ok he won't sleep for a week now! Haha! Wow lucky you got to walk on the aquaduct too - almost walking on water there! Yup, you will always find that good food! Yeah once again superb job on this video and well can't wait to see what you upload tomorrow!

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you for watching all our videos! We're up to the Cappadocia vlogs now 🙂 definitely one of our fave places in Turkey! Hahaha only had a sip of the coffee so thankfully wasn't too munted 😆👍

[@intrepidadventurer1932]

@@PeterandYen Hi guys and yeah looking forward to watching the latest video from yesterday! Sounds like an amazing place and I will watch soon! Haha glad to hear that coffee, that sip didn't affect you too much!

[@SeoulMan2020]

I always thought the area the water runs down on an aqueduct would be deeper... really cool you guys got to do that...Surprised Yen's nerd alert didn't go off when you got to the barbed wire door to the aqueduct... maybe it was muted since other culprits had already were walking on it😁. Gary 🐌🐌🐌😂😂 Definitely moving at a snail's pace😆. Looked like another amazing day with amazing sites (cave cafe looked super cool) and food (though sounds like Yen was still congested going into that day).. Peter's grape leaves with the dollop of tomato sauce looked yum! Upcoming Cappadocia vid looks like it's going to be a cool one...atv's?? Can't wait!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha it did for a second 🚨 but yea there were so many people that crossed it during the day that i figured it was safe enough 🤣 Gary like in SpongeBob 🤣🐌 i was stuffy for a couple of days unfortunately! Now that we're back in Istanbul I'm a lil paranoid we'll get affected by all the smoke again before we head home to NZ but hopefully we'll do better at avoiding it this time round (but Istanbul is particularly difficult coz it's so densely populated too) 😅 and yes! Cappadocia is amazing 🤩 one of our fave places in Turkey for sure! 😊🙌🙌

[@PeterandYen]

😥 ufc and 😥 for ufc

[@rob1971]

Safranbolu seems to be such a beautiful area 🏞️ The gorge/aqueduct are just the kind of places I'd enjoy visiting, although I'm not sure how happy I'd be walking along the aqueduct without any handrails 😕 And once again that food looks so good! 😋

[@PeterandYen]

Really lovely town and surrounding areas. We still have quite a few places we want to visit in the area so we'll need to come back to visit again sometime in the future. Hahaha yes it is nerve racking looking over the side but there is plenty of room to walk across the aqueduct 😅

[@ouradventerousdays]

My husband is not much of a coffee drink but I am addicted and I would love to try that coffee you guys had and the food 😋.

[@PeterandYen]

The coffee in turkey is really nice but super strong 😂 so wired after drinking this

[@ouradventerousdays]

@@PeterandYen ahahaha I need to try at least once

9:52 "Teras üzerinde zıplamayınız", When it says "Do not jump on the terrace" behind you, LOL

[@PeterandYen]

Ahhh my bad 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ such a rule breaker lol 😅

[@lh6135]

Safranbolu is indeed a very peaceful place with a lot of charm and people being so nice, a nice experience. Being a coffee drinker, cave café with (a) sand heated Turkish coffee ☕, (b) the cup - special and (c) barista dude, nice, a must if I travel that way. The green, lovely countryside and it has come through the video so well. Separately, get well soon Yen unless it’s hay fever 🫣 Dropped by Fo Guang Buddhist Temple and One Tree Hill today, a decent afternoon. Yesterday’s dinner was nice at Landing Restaurant (The Riverhead) 😋

[@PeterandYen]

İt was all such a great experience and especially the cave coffee experience and walking across the aqueduct! 😁 Thanks LH! The one downside we've found with Turkey is that the smoking culture is so strong here that we frequently got caught in second hand smoke clouds and can't avoid them sometimes! Got a bit wasted by it before we got to Safranbolu.. must've been a shock to the system 😅 thankfully it's not so bad in other parts of Turkey. Sounds like you're having a lovely time in Auckland despite the winter weather 👍👍 Hope you're getting some sunny days to enjoy too! 🙂 Where to next?

[@ahmethakantozlu1389]

9:50 The writing behind Yen says dont jump on terrace in Turkish . And she starts to jump. They should put English signs too.

[@PeterandYen]

O my gosh so embarrassing didn't realize this 😅 thanks for letting us know

[@kadircanyldran1849]

Tarhana soup is a natural instant soup. It is a mixed and dried version of many things such as yoghurt and tomatoes, which someone has shared below. It is mixed directly with cold water and prepared in 15 minutes. The best part is that the tarhana powder you buy preserves its form for at least 5 6 years.

[@PeterandYen]

Woah! 5 to 6 years that's so cool. Feels like a recipe that must have been passed down through many many generations, so versatile 🤤

[@kadircanyldran1849]

Actually, "Kahvaltı" can be translated as "under the coffee" or "before the coffee". You tried Turkish coffee and you know how strong it is. I think you can understand why we named breakfast that way lol

Guys, if it is not a secret, can you say how much does it cost to live this lifestyle per month?

[@PeterandYen]

Hello without going into an extremely detailed answer which is what this could get into excluding flights probably around about 4500 nzd give or take. This includes everything excluding flights for two people.

Fun fact, safran is “saffron” in english, and “-bolu” comes from Greek “polis”. Together they mean “saffron city” 😊
