A map would have been useful so that we could keep track of your movements.

[@chrissslike-n1h]

Loved this! Very exotic!

[@peternolan5353]

Scott, keep up the good work on the 100k subs goal line. Merry XMAS to you and fam. Keep the travels coming in 2025.

[@steve-marsh]

Oh that's the way to travel! :)

[@elainefarr3155]

I love the ferry trips and the views from the river. What a unique idea and being able to see everything without fighting crowds of people, my idea of a great day.

[@glenaetitmus2106]

Many thanks Scot, that certainly brought back memories of my trip to Istanbul in the late 80's, I too got the wrong ferry and ended up in the princes islands..! Well worth it though.

[@simonkeithpalgrave5766]

PTE yay one of my favourites again just what I needed for my after lunch viewing slot.Sommet different being on water did enjoy Scott.I also like see'n you eating at restaurants so don't change owt.Watching from the UK thanks Scott

[@stevehigham7148]

Thanks Scott merry Christmas 🎅

[@jamesfahy2935]

In Karaköy there are interesting streets, many restaurants and bars, a Tünel station (very old underground funicular) etc.

[@ThamesShips]

Excellent video. Good to see all the ferries and other river traffic.

[@gregorylenton8200]

Yes Today is so Complicated....Thanks Enjoyed

[@kazzicup]

A nice trip in the second part of December. Some places in the north are freezing this time of year. ❄❄❄❄🌨❄❄❄ Like -5C and bellow.

[@jimmcintosh9045]

Noticed the fishermen when I was in Istanbul but they had hopeful cats sitting near them. Thought the ferries looked a bit like long versions of the Maid boats on the Firth of Clyde in the 50s/60s.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Some of them were built on the Clyde (I don't know if any of those are still running, though, but they follow the same design)

[@ericdanielski4802]

Nice video.

[@Tripreporternet]

Hoi, Scott, pretty interesting. Sorry with Haydarpasa station, definitely something special. Good idea to spent the time this way, well done. Been on the ferry both direction´s, once. For sure, nothing special for the local´s, recognized some surprised look´s while taking photo´s. Greetings, Markus

[@hanshartfiel6394]

Interesting video. As Steeve Marsh is a big fan of boats he certainly would have joined you and I bet he's a bit envious when he sees your video.

[@bartonone2005]

Cheers, Scott!! The Turkish music you played on the first ferry was so good!! Typically, it was modal and in a minor key, which is very much to my liking!! Your meal looked great!! Turkish food is wonderful!! What could possibly go wrong, as you grimace, Scott!! 🤣🤣🤣 I really like mackerel, it's generally low in mercury and I enjoy the firm texture!! Chuck in Northern New England

[@davidmcmanus2464]

What an amazing city it is

[@AndreiTupolev]

Oh I'd love to do that. A fantastic network of ferries. And a fantastic place for ship spotting. You'll see some things there you won't see anywhere else in Europe

[@paulgibsonphotography]

Great Video Scott

[@andybaker2456]

Well look at that, I ate at that very same restaurant in Üsküdar when I was there in June 2023! I think I may have even sat at the same table. I remember I had a Turkish style chicken curry. Huge portions, and delicious food!

[@petera7113]

When I visited Istanbul a few months ago a guide advised me that Haydarpaşa station was likely to be turned into accommodation. I think it’s been closed since 2010.

[@leosmoonfish2849]

[@alastairross9628]

Good one. Good views from the water.

[@jacquihughes6172]

Great video I love your videos

[@carolinegreenwell9086]

that was really fun

[@looseycanon]

Only take Turkish credit cards? Interesting. I ran into similar situation in Holland the other day. I tried to pay by card in some small shops, every one refused my MasterCard and asked for a Visa or Maestro.

[@alisterhoult4795]

Season's Greetings, Scott. Thank you for the KZbin video. Alister Ian Hoult, Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada.

[@thomasalissavakis5181]

👍

[@ADAMEDWARDS17]

Fab bit of boat riding. Is there a Scottish equivalent? Oban is probably the port with the most CalMac sailings so how many routes might you do in a day? I reckon 4: Mull, Colonsay and Lismore with if you are lucky, a short walk to get the tiny ferry to Kerrera. At worst you might get a Mac and Cheese on the trip to Mull!

[@RomaniaSteve]

When you gonna go back to Romania? I'd love to see you travel on the trains and buses around Brasov, sighisoara, cluj and sibiu.

[@Roy-r8h]

Did you have language problems away from the centre ?

[@cantabur9535]

Nice

[@kiltedjohn1000]

massive market at kadikoy

[@xix94]

Scott what's your thoughts on package holidays ?

[@Saltybuher]

Those fish were cute. Sad to see the dead ones but I think they will be eaten.

[@People_of_the_Mouse]

I was in the right place but it must have been the wrong time. Dr John fan?

[@skylineXpert]

I still wont regret it. Jusr like my trip to the cook islands in 22'

[@alejandrayalanbowman367]

Certainly beats the old Tilbury to Gravesend ferry. Have a happy chrissy mouse and a sober nude ear.

[@benzinapaul7416]

Did you get a hair cut while you were there or are there none left?

[@christophernoble6810]

Was last in Istanbul 60 years ago but much seems how I remember it. Ferries were more numerous then. Arrived by direct train from Paris. Not possible now. Western side had trolleybuses and the Eastern side had trams. Haydapasha station was accessible then, and operational. Thank you for bringing back memories. Absolutely loved the place, but don’t think my wife would!

[@roystonvasey5471]

Best time to go on the ferries is around sunset. If you are lucky and time it right you will hear the call to prayer.

[@NMF1969]

A major improvement to this Channel would be less stroking of the chin and bit more showing of prices and fares.

[@robertmorris5214]

Great video Scott
