I am from Kenya "I miss turkey" and I believe in God one day I can reach that place oo

[@inaabukar]

@bm3racer OMG why would u assume he's a refugee? U sound ignorant honestly

[@darrensiew2440]

Just get a ticket and some money. God has nothing to do with this

[@ibshah]

Have faith.

Next to Moda there is Bostanci which has a longer and better shore than Moda. Bostanci is more elite and has expensive neighbourhoods but you should definitely go there sometime. There are direct Taxi Shuttles to Bostanci and back from the Moda parking spot. The big yellow vans.

[@slaughtcount224]

Kadıköy-Moda is the Best 💪🏻

[@alijahtate9775]

Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me!

[@Ozgur72]

As a native of İzmir my favourite place in İstanbul is Moda - Fenerbahçe - Göztepe stretch of coast.

[@zackwies1493]

Make sure to visit Princess Islands, 20 min with ferry from Bostanci, you can access to Bostanci through Bagdat street about 30 min from Moda.

[@bobguenther6658]

Another great video! You should hook up with Turkish Tourism Board and show them your videos!

[@bbahadir1]

Bagdat Street don't forget...

[@jahangirakbar4524]

I will be visiting Turkey in October 2020 with my Friend. Thankyou for Uploading this video. Love from Pakistan 😍🇵🇰

[@hamaddar6015]

On my first visit I stayed around Taksim. On my 2nd visit I stayed around sultanahmet. On my 3rd visit I stayed at Besiktas. On my 4th one I stayed at Kadikoy. On the following 2 I again stayed at Kadikoy.

[@helenellis7426]

Which would you recommend for 1st time visitors for 5 days stay

[@hamaddar]

@@helenellis7426 I think Taksim or Besiktas. Important to stay close to historical peninsula but not at Sultanahmet - gets too boring

[@helenellis7426]

@@hamaddar thank you

[@atiqrehman1024]

Ashley you are sparkling all the time. Makes watching so much more interesting

[@OneShotMan222]

Moda beach and Kadıköy is my favourite too. It's especially good during these times because the school semester has started so all the university students are back from their hometowns and the weather is nice enough to spend the day out on the beach drinking and singing. So Moda beach and Kadıköy should be very lively right now.

[@mzterzi]

Thanks guys for the awesome videos. You are a credit to the Turkish tourism promotion.

[@cate8752]

Congratulations on 200,000 subscribers guys. Have a great weekend

[@kemalerdogan6482]

Thank you so much for giving lots of tips about the city for the newcomers , you visit not only the touristic and the historical part of the city but also the districts that the locals live , however there are still a lot to discover such as levent , maslak , ortaköy , kuruçeşme, kuzguncuk , çengelköy and of course BAGHDAD AVENUE......keep up the good work...I LOVE YOU GUYS....

[@joannelord2507]

I am coming to Istanbul turkey in September of 2022 I am so excited I love all the advice u guys give it’s helping me choose thank you. Ready set go

[@Ned0007]

You guys need to go to Baghdad avenue. Imo best place in Istanbul.

[@scaglietti34]

Why? They never interest expensive european brand stores like armani, versace vs.. It's already have those shops in their country especially in LA around Rodeo Drive. Bagdat street (avenue) doesn't give any interest for tourists.

[@khwajazarin]

Taksim 110% agree!! With the tram ..definitely

[@Montegre]

oh guys, you were so close to me. almost 200 m. if you come back uskudar, i have an electronic stuff shop, in karagazi street, come to my place, and i order both of you some turkish tea :))

[@skyrider4282]

Besiktas is the best place to stay actually, which has the best team and nicest people in Istanbul

[@rawlife3575]

Also, I think you must go to Rumelikavağı ,Sarıyer "European side" and Anadolu kavağı, Beykoz "Asian side"

[@tolunay277]

Some suggestions for your next trip to Istanbul: try to visit Arnavutköy, Beykoz, and the Prince Islands.

[@Shaun_Garratt]

Congratulations on 200k guys! Very well deserved. Bit late to the party on this vid, but very useful info. Been thinking about visiting Istanbul myself next year.

[@edwardpadiarov9933]

I’m going to istanbul for 2 weeks and I’m very excited. The only thing I’m worried about is the too much walking because we are not used to walking here in the USA so hopefully it’ll be good 😊

[@UnknownUnknown-wm2tz]

Maybe it’s finally time for you to walk like every other human

[@MiriamWaldbaum]

1K to go!! Congrats! I wish you can grow faster and get a lot of sponsorships!I wish you the best =)

Awesome. So much inside information. Kadiköy is the area where i did a food tour once, really nice there.

[@shaydembo2506]

This video was amazing! Thank you so much. I’m going in a weeks time and I can’t wait!

[@zabahmed3078]

This is one of the best video I saw on Istanbul tour so far ....very informative to visitors,

[@buraksimsek7264]

Also you left out Bagdat street, which is the top elite neighbourhood of Kadikoy. Its more towards the city center. Its the Nişantaşi version of the Asian side.

[@onurdogan7366]

Asian side is more european than European side! :)

[@Ned0007]

@MrRokkafella Current facts support Onur Dogan.

[@bingbang4244]

TOTALLY TRUE. JUST ARABIC THINGS YOU CAN FIND IN EUROPEAN SIDE.

[@Ned0007]

@MrRokkafella Skyscrapers are not a European thing. The area where corporate centers are located looks very Asian imo.

[@onurdogan7366]

@MrRokkafella dude I live in Istanbul? I mean life style, culture, entertainment, etc.

[@begum3]

MrRokkafella why are you so defensive? Just calm down

Hi, can you please do a video about how to go about finding a rental property if you are staying for a month or so. What are the different options? Would a local be able to procure a place cheaper than an out of towner?

5:06 it's pronounced Karak-uh-ye. After living there for months you might want to try learning the language. Ö is uh sound like "urban". Ş is the sh sound like "shy" and Ç is Ch sound like "chew".

Thx for this Video. Kadıköy is my favorite place too. But for "rich" People who want to be hangout in quiet, local and tourist-free area he must visit Emirgan. My tip for my two KZbinrs too 😉

You should go to Kuzguncuk check out pictures online it is beautiful and calm

I could not understand very well the names of these places :( Can someone help

[@luxuryhotelroomtours6687]

Might be a good idea to list places recommended on the description. I’f you look at the video on a phone, and possibly a tablet, you can’t see names very well of areas. So you are left with trying to understand the names and how to spell them to look up the areas. I found the names by looking at the comments.Otherwise, good job.
