I have traveled all around the world, I've never seen or experienced better services provided by the council to their locals than in Turkey - This goes all the way to parks, gyms, transportation, even restaurants - Truly some of the best restaurants in Turkey are run by local councils (Hygiene standards, Prices & Service), unfortunately contrary to the UK :(

[@pattyd3205]

Totally agree, even the little Council street cafes are brilliant and so cheap.

[@karenbradshaw-taylor4381]

Fabulous as always! Soo thrilled you can get your Russian visas in Turkey but sad you'll be leaving such a beautiful country and the amazing people. Thank you for sharing xx

I am so grateful to have met you all - there will be a lot of our Turkish family at the party when we finally finish this challenge LOL - we are so excited, yet we will feel so sad to leave - but true friendship never tires, and video chat will keep us close xx love to you all xx 🇹🇷🚐🌺😍 Marianne and Chris xx

[@francodelbono319]

All sounds exciting news, you continuing on your onward journey. Wow I'm going to miss Turkey. It has been a real treat experiencing Turkey through your vlogs. Fingers crossed for the 1st of June.

[@fianaj9517]

Hi Marriane and Chris, that Campsite is great, we are taking notes and definitely that campsite would be perfect for us and the kids would love it there. It's got everything we would need and the price is fantastic. Thank you for that 😍👍🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TREADtheglobe]

Our pleasure! And yes - super family friendly xx love to the fam

[@Aaron-P]

That campsite was five quid a night?! 🤯 Turkey is so affordable! Outdone only by their heartwarming hospitality, of course. ❤🇹🇷 Great news on the visas! Very encouraging, indeed. As excited as you must be to continue, I must admit to feeling a lump in my throat forming at the thought of Turkey in the rear view mirror. 😥 That happy dance & a "you're still here" had Mrs. P. and I laughing out loud! ❤❤😎👍xx

[@TREADtheglobe]

It really is! We will be torn indeed .... challenge or stay ? Yep we will continue the challenge as soon as we can, and hope that the world situation opens long enough for us to get home ... We hope there are more happy dances to follow !! And love that you two are able to laugh with us (and at us LOL) love to Mrs P xx

Hello Our Dears Marianne and Chris ! Manavgat's blue skies revived our sweet memories. Congratulations on starting your new website. We were also pleased to hear that you can receive Russian visa. But we are Sad about leaving Turkey because we traveled to Turkey with your every Video. We were impressed that the ice cream wasn't very tasty. We want to remind you that while you are still in Manavgat, please visit Side too. With our best regards Nurie and Hassan Bijan Hamburg

[@maryfitzpatrick7428]

I don't know what was the funniest 😂 trying the "Burnt ice-cream " or the happy dance to celebrate the Russian Visa, you guys are a tonic. Beautiful campsite, with great facilities and so close to the Beach. I'll be very sad to see you leave Turkey but looking forward to the Russian adventures. Stay safe guys 🙂👍🚐

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Mary - we are so happy to have stayed in Turkey so long - we originally planned 3 weeks as we are driving around the world as a challenge rather than lots of travel vlogs - but we have enjoyed and been so grateful to have arrived in such an awesome country. We do hope to be able to continue the challenge and will truly miss Turkey when we finally leave - but completing the challenge has been such a focus for us as we were only planning 20 months away from family ... Marianne xx

[@semihurersoy8135]

The Russian visa news was like burnt ice cream. Sounded like good first but then left a bitter after taste..

[@TREADtheglobe]

We are so happy that we have been able to make so many videos and share the beauty of Turkey 🌺

[@Kimandpaul]

So pleased for you both getting such an exciting visa, but as has already been said it seems strange to think you anywhere else. I have only discovered you since lockdown in Turkey and you have been my unwitting companions during my 3rd house sale (yes the same house) and move from Devon to Essex before heading off to Europe in August. We aspire to your sense of adventure and hope we are at least half as happy on our trip around Europe before heading back to Australia.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow - thanks for buying us coffee !! and for coming with us on this adventure - we love travel and will keep sharing all the good stuff that we find ... Good luck with your travel / move plans 😍🌺👍

[@omg_SallyKelly]

The news regarding the Russian visa was bitter sweet. I had to postpone my planned trip to Turkey and was enjoying Turkey through your eyes. I was really hoping that you'd make it to the eastern provinces and cities like Gaziantep, Mardin, Van, Erzurum, Kars and others. Sadly you never made it to the gastronomic capital of Turkey and the gorgeous beauty of East and North east Turkey. However, I shall still watch if only to see how much you are going to miss Turkey. From beautiful Oregon, USA

[@TREADtheglobe]

Hi Sally - we haven't left yet LOL - we are still hoping to dip in to the East and will show you what we find 😂👍🌺

Dear Marianne and Chris, it was again a great pleasure to enjoy your video with the beautiful places and nice people. About your visa to Russia: In Trabzon there is also a Russian consulate. There you can also apply for a visa. You don't have to go to Istanbul, or are you going there to see Ersel and to get vaccinated there? You see, we are concerned about your well-being and also very curious! Best wishes and stay healthy! Muckelito and Melekita from Switzerland

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you so much for caring - yes we are looking at different agents around - although seeing Ersel is always a pleasure and so lovely to see our friends xx

Although I am sorry that you will leave Turkey 😭 but I am very happy that you will continue the adventure 🥳 I hope everything works out the way you want it to 🙏🏻 Not everyone likes burnt ice cream, your reaction is very normal, I like it very much. If you like it, you can use ready-made Boiled Beans, very easy to make Piyaz. Tahini is not necessary, a little lemon, a little vinegar is enough, you can find a lot of recipes on the Internet, it is an appetizer-salad that is both easy and satisfying 😊

I really enjoyed this episode the campsite was very good . I wanted to jump off the jetty. Was it as good as Goreme Camping? That took some beating! The home cooking looked amazing! When I visited Marmaris in 96 there wasn't a caravan /motorhome scene as such there were some foreign camper vans but I asked and was told the hotels ruled the roost at the time. Congrats on the Russian visa!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Both! But for completely different reasons - we have made friends everywhere ... But Goreme was just the best place to rest and felt like we had entered a magical place and landscape, everyday waking to the sound of balloons and walking on unfamiliar and unusual landscapes ... Just one of my favourite places in the world xx

If you have more time to be in the Manavgat, I definitely recommend you to go to the Manavgat Waterfall. Manavgat Waterfall is a perfect natural wonder.And also Beşkonak ve Tazı Canyon are also included in what I said.You can search Google by typing Tazı Canyon and Beşkonak in Manavgat. You can search more on Google about the historical and geographical beauties of Manavgat.And I also have to say this.Something that most tourists know wrong.Side is not a province or a district.Side is a neighborhood in the district of Manavgat.And there is a truth.Side is a Brand City.If you have the chance to go there one day,You should definitely visit the Temple of Apollo. I present my thanks.

Going to Russia? - I've traveled there 10 or 11 times now over the past 20 years. I'm looking forward to your videos. The most amazing places in Russia can often be found in small towns. Some amazing historical sights can be found in what they call the "Golden Ring" (Золотое кольцо) towns to the north and east of Moscow. Yaroslavl, Murom, Dineeva, Rostov Veliky, and many others are wonderful sights to see outside the huge cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg. -- Your visa should be good for 30 days. I think they extended it 90 days recently, for some types of visas. MAKE CERTAIN you get the correct visa and correct length of stay. You won't see much if its only 30 days. - Winter starts setting-in about mid-September on the Moscow latitude. So, your timing looks good from now...

The way they taste "Yanık Dondurma" ( Burnt Ice Cream) reminds me of the first time my English host family visiting Turkey tried "Kokoreç" expressing initial dislike , which then turned into seach for another try only to fall in love with it.
