[@ibrahimerol5639]

Hi from İzmir. Turkish Riviera is amazing, you can also find little, hidden gems everywhere. Popular destinations are generally more crowded and expensive. On your trip you may visit, Adrasan, Kekova, Göcek, Datça, Akyaka, Lake Bafa, Doğanbey, Şirince, Sığacık, Ilıca, Alaçatı and lots of small towns. Maybe next time :)

Antalya absolutely has some amazing and beautiful beaches that’s what it’s famous for! I love Turkey and just got back from a trip to Istanbul❤️

[@iamin03]

We visited Hadrian's Gate in Antalya (we also visited Hadrian's Wall in England) which was pretty cool. The Duden waterfall upstream, you can walk BEHIND the waterfall which was awesome. Kekova (Sunken City) boat trip was highlight of our trip where we swam in 3-4 different spots all were very nice. The Turkish Turquoise Coast is really worth a visit. Antalya, Olympos, Adrasan, Kas, Demre, Suluada, Fethiye, Marmaris, Bodrum are famous. We are glad you guys are enjoying the beautiful Turkish Coastline. Love & respect from Bangladesh

[@Lougreth]

I just came to Istanbul thanks to your first video! I miss my beautiful country. You guys are giving most correct and objective informations. Loved you both and suggested your KZbin videos to my Turkish friends whose not living Turkiye. 2 of them coming next week! lol Much love and respect!

2:57 there ARE many beaches in the city center tho. the most famous one is called "Konyaaltı beach" and there are more. Like "beach park"

[@MrIzmirli35]

Kaş Lounge is incredible place like a heaven love it

[@karolin4613]

Antalya has beaches!! It has a very long famous beach called konyaalti its beautiful.

[@timlaw406]

And Lara Beach

[@timlaw406]

Antalya itself has a lot more than the Old Town. Sure it is nothing like Istanbul but you have the very long, sandy Lara Beach and 7-8km long famous Konyaalti Beach with all the cafes and social life. The main attractions are around Antalya, including beautiful mountains and ancient sites. Same with İzmir, you have Alaçati, Çeşme among other locations nearby. And the city itself is very big with a few lovely spots.

Hi Claire..loved you vlog...remember we enjoyed the sunset on the waterfront with Nadeem.

[@Darkangel1494]

It would be nice if you could stay in Kaş for one more day and take a boat tour there. Boat tours depart from Kaş, which take you around the Sunken City and Simena Island with its magnificent view^^ Also, I want to fix a few things, there are actually big beaches in Antalya, like Konyaaltı beach. And not Kulkan, but Kalkan. :) The reason why there are so many Britons in Kalkan is that most of the people living there are British citizens. Kalkan is one of the few places where the British showed interest and settled. Others Marmaris, and Çalış in Fethiye region. And in fact, if you had stayed in Çalış, you would have stayed close to both Fethiye and Ölüdeniz, and at a more affordable price.^^

[@bectepe]

[@RhettandClaire]

Oh no! Get better soon:)

If you value natural beauty, make sure to visit during April and May. Whether you choose the Alanya-Side area-two of Europe's most popular mass tourism centers-or decide to travel along the entire western coast, you'll encounter breathtaking Mediterranean landscapes. You'll be welcomed by bright yellow mimosa blossoms, oleanders in every shade of pink, signature Mediterranean bougainvillea, and countless fruit trees lining the roads. During this time, the Turkish coasts exude a vitality that could bring even the dead back to life.

[@astragalusson]

Guys, love your enthusiasm, positive attitude and the beautiful smiles on both your faces and also you transfer to our faces. You're sharing great videos, thank you for that. That said, your Turkey visit seems to be a little rushed this time. So, we hope to welcome you back another time maybe after you drop down a few more locations from your travel bucket list. You should visit some of the beautiful locations you've skipped in a hurry and also see other parts of Turkey with many different vibes, get to be in more historic sites from different times, meet and mix-in with some locals, experience more authentic Turkish life and, last but not the least, eat more Turkish food, especially even more delicious tomatoes :) Wish you the best on your journey... 👋♥

[@RhettandClaire]

Thank you so much! We definitely DEFINITELY will be back🥰🙌🏻. We rushed our road-trip a little because the price of car rental, petrol, and accommodation was adding up and was a lot more expensive than we anticipated. The whole trip before that was too. So we had to do it in a limited time🙏🏻

Thank you for this kind comment 🙏 Quite true about the waterfalls, we've been spoiled from growing up in SA and living in Bali, Indonesia.
