I have been living in Istanbul for a year now. It is warm and has a lot of greenery.
I love the cries of seagulls, the views of vibrant city neighborhoods, and the meditative prayers from mosques.
The architecture in the city is diverse and impressive. My favorite mode of transportation is the surface metro, which runs along the coastline of the Sea of Marmara.

I was just in Istanbul last week. Beautiful city and a cultural Mecca. Soo many thing to do and not enough time. People are very polite and very friendly. Although it is true that once you engage with the merchants they won't let you go. Food is delicious and very affordable. A city easy to get by foot to the main landmarks.
You feel safe at any time wherever you are. I recommend to visit Turkey and have a wonderful vacation.
I would go back anytime.

As a Turk, I would like to say this. Visit Turkey, eat food, visit mosques and historical sites. But do not argue with any Turks in traffic. You can get into trouble and fights can break out at any time.

If you come to Istanbul and stay for 5 days, you will never want to leave again.. Because Istanbul is one of the 5 most beautiful cities in the world..Of course it is a very crowded city..There is a proverb in Turkish; "Take the bitter with the sweet." Greetings from Istanbul to the whole world 🙋

This is a great video for those with limited time in Istanbul. For those who have an extended stay I highly recommend exploring the Asian side, Kadikoy. Also Ortakoy and Bebek are amazing along the Bosphorous if you want to experience life like the local working professionals of Turkey and see some amazing views and get away from all the tourists. Great nightlife and amazing fine dining available as well!

My mother and I are planning to move to Turkey so this video was awesome thanks for this :D and also praying for all the turkish brother and sisters affected from the earthquakes ❤

I lived in Istanbul for 9 years, and a Bosporus cruise, all the way up to the Black Sea, is an absolute must. Government ferries are reasonably priced and leave from Eminönu every morning at 10.30

As you mentioned at your video, there are too many things to do in Istanbul. I would recommend to visit Dolmabahce Palace, The grand island, Besiktas- the bosphorus view, and eating kumpir in Besiktas, eating fish-bread in Eminonu, waking bosphorus coast aroun Beykoz and Sariyer.

Istanbul is a very big city and it is overcrowded, you probably need to visit Istanbul for 1 month😍

[mroxo]

We never got scammed and its not because we were watching videos like yours. Its because we take our common sense with us when we are going for a holiday.

I had lived and worked in Turkey for 6 years. Your introduction about Istanbul is very super. Thanks a lot for your super video.

I've always told myself I will never go to Turkey. Few weeks back I was invited to Istanbul and next week I am taking off to stay at my friend's place for a week. I honestly thought Istanbul is the capital of Turkey, luckily I know better now thanks to your video :) Can't wait to explore the city and country. You guys travels safe and thank you for the info !

[Rumi-Khan]

World’s best city with most wonderful people, vibes and amazing places

As an alternative to a boat tour, just get on a ferry from Eminönü and travel across to Kadıköy on the Asian side, you'll be able to enjoy the classic Istanbul skyline and maybe feed the seagulls too. Just don't show interest in venders pushing their products just say; sadece bakıyorum. ( I'm only looking). This will make them believe that you know Turkish and they will hopefully back off. If not just walk away and ignore them. This is a useful tip when visiting all of Turkey. There can be huge variations in prices at restaurants on the same street so check the prices before eating. Definitely stay in Beyoğlu, on the European side. You can ride down a funicular train at Tünel and cross the Galata Bridge on foot or take a tram to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque where you'll find Hagia Sofia and The Topkapı Palace close together. Some great advice in this video. Enjoy this great city
