▸ Taxis and Ubers in Turkey
BiTaksi is the local version of Uber in Turkey (allows you to pay by card or cash) but Uber is also used although not in every city. It's easy enough to catch a taxi without any app though and simply pay in cash (just be sure that the meter is used).

I've never imagine to travel around a foreign country for over three months!Good job and nice video series!

[TheMamuchos]

You guys stayed in Kadikoy on your last days there! Awesome!
Infrastructure is fantastic at any transportation level. Highways, public transportation, and intercity buses, it is just incredible. And of course dolmus!
Thank you for mentioning the secular part of Turkiye!
Animals are so loved for the most part in the country. And yes, they are super lovely as well.
Yen, you got really good at learning Turkish, and your pronunciation is awesome! Look at you eating Midye Dolma!!

I have watched a lot of Turkey travel blogs but Your entire trip was THE BEST Turkey travel series on the internet! I have learned so much more with you guys here. Your love for history made it incredible to watch all episodes. Wish you also visited Mardin. Saving all your videos to use as my guide for planning to visit Turkey. And you both are true Kiwis… humble, respectful, down to earth & relatable. Totally would love to meet you guys in real life… lots of respect & love to you both. Thank you again & will def miss watching new Turkey videos from this channel.

What a lovely wrap-up video as the final chapter of your masterfully-shot vlogs in Türkiye. Welcome back again anytime in the future. Happy Holidays and a successful New Year!

[iremfeyza_luna]

I really appreciate your effort! You traveled for 3 months, tried to look on the bright side and you reflect this in your videos. I've been living in Eskişehir for 16 years (I'm Turkish😅) and I have visited many cities in Türkiye. I mean, I couldn't have imagined someone from New Zealand would make such beautiful and candid, sincire videos. Thank you and you will always be welcomed💜

[AleeThamara]

So I pretty much watched all of your videos about Turkey. It was sooo helpful. I'm travelling on June for 10 days so it's hard to choose the best places to go! After watching your videos I'll definetly go again to those small places far away from the big cities. Such a beautiful country, can't wait to see it in person. Thank you for the videos!

[nuovonovathegreatoutdoors]

Thank you for these really useful tips about traveling around Türkiye - in contrast to the usual „beware of the shoe-shining scam“ type advice given by people who after spending a few days in Istanbul feel entitled to give!

Hi Peter & Yen!
Thank you for giving us some tips before going to Turkey.
Looking forward more videos from both of you.👍

[SeoulMan]

Not sure if I was so tired last night I imagined writing a thank you comment for your Turkey series or if it ended up in the dark abyss of held comments that Yen taught me about... if it's not there, let me know...Definitely wanted to say a big thanks to you guys for all the work you put in to bring us Turkey...:)

Couldn't think of anything useful to comment on, so this is my comment. 😁 Cheers
