As a Turkish, born and grew up in İstanbul, I appreciate your comments and admiration for the city 🌸🌸

[@kristijan7001]

I am in Istanbul next weekend. What should i visit on Asian side? Shortly. Please help. 😊i have Plan to take a boat from Sirkeci to Harem. And whats your opinion? Is it better to take Halva and magnets on Asian side or Istikal? And how to pay taxi from airport? In euros or change the money on airport? Uber or yellow taxi? Thank you.

[@fatmanur5531]

@@kristijan7001 Hi ☺️ there must be exchange offices in the Istanbul airport so you get some Turkish liras for your taxi ride. For the magnet, the European side is better, it is the actual historical side ( it has more historical places) And definitely try to eat döner, kebap, lahmacun, baklava and one of my favorite kumpirrrr. Hope you will enjoy the city? have a nice holiday 🙏🏻

[@zia2757]

I love Turkey 🥰 So beautiful country 😍 I went there so many times. Turkish people are so kind and friendly. Food is so delicious 😋 Kumpir, bürek, pide, kunefe, baklava, halva and so many many goods things to taste. Turkey deserves to be visited. I again plan to go to it next year. ❤🇹🇷

As far as visa, if you are an American visiting Turkey for under 30 days and you are not going to school there or not on official govt business, then you do not need a visa. Checked this info as of April 2024 (might change in the future)

[@bj-th7ul]

Thank you very much for your video. It seems simple and good tips. We are planning a trip to Turhey in Feb 2024. Wanting to know your thoughts on accommodation? Thanks

[@annduehermannsen227]

You could go for an Airbnb. My favourite hotel is Levni spa and hotel, it is in walking distance to most of everything on the European side and if you get a Istanbul kard you can get around easy.

The Greeks from Megari have been living in Anatolia and the general area from even before 900BCE.

I went to Istanbul and stayed just one day because I was on a cruise, I would have given up the rest of the cruise ( including Venice) just to stay more time in Turkey!

[@nerfminet4704]

Great information, thanks!! Hi, we are going to Istanbul for the first time in end of November (wedding anniversary), is the weather still okay then? Can I use italki from Switzerland and how do I pay?

[@TalesFromTheRoad]

You can create an account and use online sure.

[@abbasalichinikamwalla7958]

Turkey like many countries eg Japan etc should have one common transportation card/kart , which could be used in all the cities of Turkiye because a card of one city cannot be used in another city and a tourist loses leftover money from the previous city card he/she has visited. I hope concerned authorities look into the matter. This could save a lot of time, money of the tourist and the hassles for obtaining a card of a new city...🌹☺️

[@clairedsc5807]

Hello again, I am perplexed on the quality of food vs. "tourist prices" in Sultanahmet where we will be staying - we only got 3 full-days from Switzerland in early Jan... Have that said, any "better" rooftop restaurant you would recommend there (I know it's going to be 3x the price ;-) )

Love your video! We are planning to go from Zurich, Switzerland for 4 days in early Jan. 2024 or late Dec. 2024 :-) I heard that even UBER can charge/change the rate that you promised - not sure if that's true as well?

[@usernamedemanded]

Only registered taxis are allowed as Uber in Istanbul. So, it not much different than taking a taxi. I would suggest you to stick with the public transportation. It is organized well and provides good service.

[@davechristian7543]

[@albertpanagopoulos8469]

I ve heard too many people trying to scam you, charge more when they notuce you are a tourist, charge less if you are a turk etc. How do I avoid these places;

A correction. We as turks have been here in anatolia before the ottoman empire. The first Turks in anatolia goes way back to great hun empire. (300 ad)
