I think this is your best video so far. This is hiw I envisioned the 'real' Istanbul to be, not like scenes from the European side. I love this. This is where I would like to live❤

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Exactly! You just said it, the real Istanbul ❤️ if anyone wants to see the most authentic side and see how local really live, then the Asian side is the place to be, thanks for watching us! ❤️

[@ismailmarzuki6943]

Our next bucket list to visit: Asian side

[@levinawalsh2015]

Hey Bery!! Beautiful Video as Always 👌. I Really miss Istanbul a Lot. When i was there i spent 2 weeks on the European side first. I went to Bodrum for a month & then returned to Istanbul & stayed 2 weeks on th Asian side. Truly Magical. Thank you for All your Hard work in making these Wonderful videos. ☘🥰

[@kimberlythomas4373]

We were in Istanbul in September and absolutely loved it but spent most our time on the European side. I’m definitely seeing what I missed on the Asian side and can’t wait to go back!

[@ultramet]

I loved the Asian side so much. It felt less touristy and more authentic. I love your videos and they helped me out so much. I had a wonderful time with my family thanks to you. ❤

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

The Asian side is amazing! Love the area, thanks for watching us!

[@TheLifePrismatic]

I'm thinking of moving to Istanbul from the USA and your videos have been very high quality and above standard. Thank you for what you do with this channel!

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Thank you so much for your extra support! I wish you the best in this new episode in 🇹🇷! ✈️

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

The Asian side is amazing but from what you said less touristic. I think that this is rather strange because its beauty should be admired by the entire world! Great video, as usual. Thank you so much fo you efforts in introducing this awesome country

[@iwory112]

I love Asian side of IST. Most of these places I've already known :) I also recommended Nevmekân Sahil (Library/Cafe) on Uskudar, beautiful modern Marmara Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesi Örümcek Cami, Camlica Mosque and more .. :)

[@miriamsoloriokornobiselld9747]

Bery, thank you for your great videos!! I was in Instanbul and spent most of my time in the European side, but I will hang out in the Asian side next time, it looks beautiful. Turkey is just magical, your tips and guidance help made my trip very enjoyable. Hugs!

[@anneivan1518]

Thank you Bery- hopefully coming to Turkiye in May 2024 - looking forward to exploring particularly the Asian Side.💖🇦🇺

[@putraasadtriya6250]

Me too in may

[@samil5601]

Istanbul is an amazing city. At the same time, much more modern than expected and much more ancient. Fascinating place.

[@ProcrastinationQueen]

Me and my family are going to Istanbul in 3 weeks. We’re staying on the Asian side, so this video will be very helpful, thank you! 💜 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@emmanuelbr]

That's an huge work !!! I cant wait to be back in Istanbul to see that. Thanks for sharing

[@sammayet9002]

[@ranasaneh2059]

Very interesting video showing different places than the traditional ones that are worth to visit as well

[@FerganaValleyBarlas]

Excellent 🙏

[@shawonnoor6286]

Best review of the Asian side...thanks a lot...

[@kathleenrondon2761]

Even I'm ready to visit Turkey I will look you up❤

[@sakiekiw]

love it your video, i will be on istanbul next week and plan to spent 2 days exploring asian side and would love to follow your recomendation. anw, have you made a video about stadium tour to galatasaray or fenerbahce?

[@daniareyes9841]

Will love to visit all of them.

[@elisabetta4478]

Highly appreciated. An extended version of the Asian side of Istanbul Sadly, except for Adikoy, it is less explored in Turkish series. Thank you.

[@AnaSILVA-lj7fv]

Hi. After waching your video about Yoros castle I took the boat and went. It was a wanderful day and tje food was great. At the time to came back I lost the boat and a nice young turkish studant told me to take the boat to Sirkeci and a bus to Beshiktas and from the last boat back to Kadikoy where I am staying. Thank you again for your videos.

[@ashmove7663]

I am in Turkey now. I love Turkey.

[@Nanaray02]

Asian side is more beautiful and peaceful place in my opinion ❤

[@xlegijaone]

im there in 3 days, thanks for your video

[@bjones9942]

I stayed in Kadiköy for the entire 2 months I was there (summer 2023). It was great - ferries available to both the Princes' Islands, and Eminönü. I did the day tour three times, and the nighttime one once - it was 65 TL (~$2.35 USD) when I was there - such a bargain for a 6 hour tour! Shopping and restaurants in Kadiköy was crazy. Good prices and excellent food everywhere. And when I wanted to see the main 'tourist' attractions I just hopped on the ferry to Karakoy/Eminönü then hopped on the tram (or walked up the hill to Galata tower). I've traveled a bit, and by far Istanbul was my favorite city. Thanks for the very comprehensive and informative video!

[@zoghranolan5290]

Who what company did you dothis tour with. Do you mind sharing more information please

This beautiful bridge is shown in many Turkish dramas.

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Yes! It is very popular in Turkish series.

[@bernitahector2085]

I also admired this bridge watching their series but when I visited in 2022 I was told there are actually 4 bridges.

[@buzfatih]

Harikasın Bery🎉

[@LizelleSwart-g2o]

Thank you for your videos. Can you please do some videos on what to do with kids? I know the main attractions but please focus on things we can do except from doing the main attractions. Thank you

[@samibizim9079]

The funny thing about Istanbul is only the tourists calls it Europion side or Asian side. For locals it is just "the other side" it doesn't matter which side you live :))

[@farizaditya]

Looking so beautiful, wonderful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘🥰😍📸📸📸

[@shirazkhader3481]

Please advise the different seasons and months ? When is Summer when is winter fall and spring

[@BungsuSrilestari]

[@ahsanjahangir8834]

Great video

[@karamel820]

Looks amazing I hope to come in a few weeks for dental trip and hope to explore this beautiful city this will be my second trip to Turkey but first to Istanbul, the buses look bigger and normal compared to Alanya the squashed mini bus ride I will never f0rget 🤣

[@farizaditya]

Favorit 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@hmagix9554]

Hello Bery and team. Such a great video! Im planning to visit Istanbul next month. Im wondering about photography and if there are any issues in terms of taking photos and if there are any restrictions in certain areas? I ask as I like to take drone shots as well as ground photography. Thank you.

[@SharonizedMakeUp]

Nice video! Would you recommend to visit Istanbul and the Asian side during Christmas Holidays?

[@lbunnygordon1133]

I didnt see everything but some things on this video never knew about it all. Perhaps some things like castle and palace were closed as was still covid time 2 years ago. I took bus to ruins of rumeli feneri instead was a raning day but still amazing as deserted. I liked Kuzguncuk it actuslly was my favourite and walked high for view and enjoyed a local bakery. Wondering after prices doubled how affordable it all is. Used to take ferry and buses for next to nothing.

[@raasif8478]

I love you so much 💓

[@anastasiyay7844]

Hi Bery! Will we see Christmas lights while visiting Istanbul first week of December? Thank you 🙏

[@sanjivkeskar2547]

Very nice & clean places. Thanks for sharing .Why don't you come live on you tube?

[@karimtabrizi376]

I liked moda area quite busy but more authentic feel locals mainly

[@plantkingdom6880]

Might you know how far are the vegan restaurants from where the ferry would drop one off/ Eminonu to Kadikoy? The general area where such food might be available. I enjoy watching your videos. Very nice and calming style while still invigorating and inspiring as to sight seeing. Thank you!

[@Vitcini]

Make a video about destination marriage in Istanbul

[@yusnizamatpakeh7021]

Hi, does kadikoy market open till night during winter?

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

All markets close between 5-6 pm all seasons.

Can you do a video about Istanbul tourist pass?

[@Serkanizm_TR]

Tourist guests who visit Istanbul for tourism purposes generally visit limited places on the European Side. Unfortunately, they are visiting the well-known places around Sultan Ahmet Square and Galata Tower. In fact, the places to see are the Asian side and the islands. The places to see are both more visually beautiful and quieter. There are many beautiful places, especially in Üsküdar, Beykoz, Kadıköy and Adalar districts. I would like to thank the friend who prepared this video and introduced the Asian side a little bit. Thoughts of those living in Istanbul, especially on the Asian side. There is an opinion that they should use the European side to work and the Anatolian (Asian) side to live and reside :)))

[@radenayu7269]

Hi, how much the ticket to Anadoluhisarı?

[@michaelsaayman2802]

Hi Berry. Could you do a video regarding the new short term rental legislation and how it affects travelers. I have already had two of my reservations for 2024 cancelled by Airbnb as the owner delisted because of the new rules. Thank you

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! I’ll definitely take a look into it and share the info I find about it 🙏

[@abusalman81]

What happened? Can you give some infos?

[@michaelsaayman2802]

On Thursday 2 Nov a new law passed on Short term rentals. People who rent out a room now must be licensed by the Government , must have permission from all other apartment owners in the block to rent, must pay fees. Two of my reservations booked with Airbnb cancelled and delisted their properties. There was a article in the Daily Sabah online. Hope this helps

[@naylabelkhadir6991]

According to the new legislation, house owners will be required to obtain permits from the Ministry for Culture and Tourism if they want to rent out their home via Airbnb. House owners will also have to pay a tax to the government and a fee to Airbnb.

[@clairedsc5807]

The breakfast is SO BIG, would they get offended if we order 3 sets for 5 people?? Also, are the buses & trams accepting "contactless" VISA/MC cards now?

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Hi Claire! Is huuuge! The thing is, the fee is set per person so more likely they’ll bring all together but you can always request to bring for 3 to avoid food waste but they’ll still charge for 5 🙏 Some metro lines and trams started using that method but not all.

[@clairedsc5807]

@@BeryIstanbulTipsThanks for the answers! Yeah I get it for charging for FIVE - I am a foodie but not the reste of the family😢 But they will eat Michelin food (having a French husband isn’t easy for just street food😅) But as we have only 3 full days, we shall return to visit the Asian side another year❤🎉Thanks again for replying - hopefully some main transports like metro from Sabiha airport will take credit cards…

[@bundauc]

How to go go the asian side ?

[@MrsDeniz27]

I heard most celebrities live in Asian side? Is it true? Like the European side is extremely crowded

[@konstantinusstoyanov9749]

You are wonderful, how did you meet your husband? If you don’t mind Thanks

[@youprayteas]

I literally saw my house in the video lmao

[@xlegijaone]

is there an app or something for get the bus routes?

[@naylabelkhadir6991]

To get Istanbul bus routes, consult iett

[@naylabelkhadir6991]

iett.istanbul

[@MalikaILLANE]

You can check Istanbul's bus routes on iett

[@abusalman81]

Oh noo, please take the video down. I don't want tourists to find out about the Asian side. Let them be in Europe lol. The Asian side is million times nicer and I rarely go to the other side. Actually, there's so much more to be seen that you were able to show in your video. The Asian side in general is also much more modern, has more beautiful restaurants/Cafés, Parks and in general the atmosphere is much more chill.

[@mindfullmoment1]

Please say more slowly the names of the towns. Maybe repeat a few times. I could hear the language.

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

That’s why we WRITE everything on the screen…

[@PaulDanciu]

But u show other ethnic church never show from inside?U have something with that??

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Most of them are closed since there are not a lot of Christians in the neighborhood. They only open on special days.

[@lanael7278]

How safe it is to travel to Istanbul now in November 2023? How did the war on Palestine affect safety of foreign tourists?

[@Son96601]

Look on a map how far away istanbul is from all that lol

[@karmengonzalez8677]

Night life is missing

[@yoncalloyd6318]

just noticed lots of people wearing mask again? is it compulsory?

[@SyedUro]

I want to meet you I have plans for

[@elisabetta4478]

In my humble overview, the suspension Bosphorus River bridge that connects two continents is an overrated landmark of Istanbul. I mean, suspension bridges are everywhere in the world. I am not ignoring the view which is accompanied but still... I prefer the Asian side which seems to me to be the authentic soul of the Turkish culture and traditions which I have envisioned through the famous novel by Agatha Christie, the Murder on the Orient Express.

[@francois9502]

Do people still wear covid masks there? A lot of people wear them in this video

[@BeryIstanbulTips]

Hi! No, this video is a compilation of several videos that I already had in my channel since 2-3 years ago, so I put some together as one, the ones where we are wearing masks were between in 2020-2021 ☺️
