We had the most wonderful holiday in Istanbul last year. The people are so friendly, the public squares were so clean. It was busy, bustling and vibrant. So much to see and do.

If you want a good and cheap meal then you should find a "lokanta" or "esnaf lokantası"

ıf you see a word "lokanta" on the window immedietly go in there and have a delicious foods for very low prices. :)
BTW usually these lokantas serves "traditional pot dishes" whic is quite interesting for an tourist. Trust me, i'm Turkish. :)

Without a doubt one of the best cities I've ever travelled and I've been to many over the past 40 or so years ..I keep coming back here the most ...it has a vibe like no other ..atmosphere is amazing ..the food is to die for ..so many things to do and see just make sure you have enough time

Greetings from Finland. My daughter lived in Istanbul for 6 years, so we visited there often. I love Istanbul. I recommend visiting there is a lot to see, good shopping opportunities and best of all the food is really good. Finlandiya'dan selamlar. Kızım 6 yıl İstanbul'da yaşadı, bu yüzden sık sık orayı ziyaret ettik. İstanbulu seviyorum. Ziyaret etmenizi tavsiye ederim, görülecek çok şey var, iyi alışveriş fırsatları ve hepsinden önemlisi, yemekler gerçekten çok iyi.

I spent my Eid holidays last May 2022 in Türkeyi for 12 days. It was indeed a beautiful country and Beryl’s tips and videos helped me a lot. Thanks, Beryl.

I finally have the ability to travel overseas from the U.S. and Turkiye will be my very first trip!!! I am so glad I found your channel!

[SuccessisTheGoal]

We are in Istanbul right now and what you are saying is so true! This visit has been a great experience! We love to travel around and are finding Istanbul very different than the stereotypes that are usually wrong. Thanks!

I’m currently in Oludeniz and will be visiting Istanbul next year. I cannot wait. You can tell a lot about a country by how they treat their animals. Turks have my respect as they are so kind to animals.

[javierbolanos]

I was in Istanbul last december, is just magical, beautiful, modern and exotic city !!!

[sanjahabibic]

I am in love with this country, it has many similarities with my culture and I can’t wait to be there in July!!! Thank you Bery for your videos they are very helpful and you are very good in explaining things!!! Thank you.

Great Video Bery👏👏. I was in Istanbul back in January for one month. 2 weeks on the European side & 2 weeks on the Asian side. I then went to Bodrum & I miss Turkiye & it's People Already. ☘💐.

[MPPR]

Yes, clearly explained, excellent job Bery. During our visit to Istanbul, we followed your recommendations and I definitely praise you. We enjoyed Istanbul to the fullest without any problems! I learned a few basic Turkish phrases and words and it was always great to watch their reaction, very kind, for me too. We're already looking forward to another visit to Turkiye. Good luck and keep going ...

As an American I think Americans speak too loudly at certain times. People get mad at me for speaking in a slightly lower voice, but sometimes it is just distracting in a public place when some people are having such loud conversations that you cannot even hear other people talk. So, I definitely think this is something Americans should keep in mind when going abroad since even stateside we could use lower voices at certain times.

Istanbul was our 1st destination in Feb 22 after 2 yrs of lockdown… they do the best lamb chops and Kebap and the beef kofte so addictive.. one of my favourite places for food along with Tokyo, Barcelona & Tuscany

[ulrich]

All advices are very helpful. Tesekkürler! For me as a „frequent Istanbul traveler“ just few comments: please be kind to cats! Istanbul is a very safe city. Never had any problems… Car drivers in Istanbul are very attentive towards pedestrians 👍🏻 And, of course, Turks are not Arabs ; ) Kurdish people (very friendly) too. Finally: visit a historical, non-touristic hammam like Gedikpasha Hamami…

[bluepurplepink]

I came back from Turkey yesterday and your videos were so helpful. Now of course, there would be no point learning everything about a destination before visiting it, but the tips and general vlogs helped me get excited and be more informed. The only update I would give to new travellers is to skip the blue mosque, go after lunch to Hagia Sofia and be prepared for heat.

[dmhope]

We just came back from Istanbul, will visit again, beautiful city❤

[Dropthesoapto]

It seems to be a beautiful country. Just the fact that you are compassionated towards animals says everything. I’d love to visit.

[angemc]

If there was one tip that did NOT surprise me, it was "Do not mistreat animals" - I am very impressed about the attitude of Turkiye people towards the stray cats of the cities
