If you have never been to Turkey before, knowing what you can expect from Turkey is important so you can better plan your vacation/trips. Turkey was actually one of the highlights of my Euro trip this year. From culture, food, people, scenery, Turkey literally has everything to offer everyone. The main first impression in Turkey that you will get, is that you will probably be shocked/surprised at how cheap it is to travel in Turkey. This makes it perfect for budget travel/backpackers who first time traveling to Europe.
In this video, I reveal all my first impressions of my trip to Turkey. I cover all the first impression aspects of Turkish food ( Turkish cuisine), Turkish people, some social norms of Turkey; culture. and more.
All in all, I wish you find this video helpful to plan out your trip in Turkey either one day trip, short term, or long term travel. By no means am I criticizing the country. I just want to share my thoughts and experiences to help you manage your expectation based on my travel experience in Turkey. I do believe that knowing what you can expect will totally make your trip more amazing as well.
Where is filmed in this travel video? Istanbul, Turkey
Last but not least! I surely believe you will love traveling to Turkey! Have fun if you are planning to travel there!

Hi,
I am Jimmy, I left my career in the military to become a full-time traveler, documenting my memories along the way. Kicked off traveling in September 2017 with $4000 in my savings account and first started publishing my journey. Traveling and being able to work wherever I love ( as long as there are Wi-Fi and coffee)

It was a joke because that’s what everyone thinks about the USA😂
May God bless you.
Turkish subtitel is trash.
i am turkish🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
It was actually spot on and I'm hoping to see more Turkey vlogs in the near future
Edit: If you ever need some recommendations of places to go to, here are a few:
Bursa - Ottoman history, mountain climbing
Gallipoli - WW1 / Battle of independence
Ankara - Mausoleum and marching soldiers
Antalya & Bodrum - Paradise and tourist heaven
Urfa & Adana - Top notch Kebabs
Gaziantep - The birthplace of diebetes
I lived in Turkey for five years. They are the friendliest people I have ever met in all my travels. I wish nothing but the best for all the people of Turkey.

Turkish people are the most welcoming people I've encountered in the 22 countries I've visited. They're very helpful and proud of their culture. Although not many Turkish speak English, they would still go out of their way to try to help you. One time I was lost in the old town of Istanbul and my phone died. I was looking for the ferry terminal on Galata area (near the bridge). I asked a young lady for a direction, she said "no English" but she asked me to wait in a gesture. At first I was confused, then I saw her talking to other people, she came back minute later with a gentle man. She introduced me to a man who could speak English. I can't thank her enough. I had a few other experience that sort of thing. I was very impressed. I've visited Izmir, Kusadasi, Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Cappadocia. I had the same experience. One of my very good friend whom I've met through YT comment section is Turkish. We've met when I was in Istanbul. He toured me around and he is the nicest person I've ever met in all of my travels. Even the cab drivers are very nice. I could say that Turkish hospitality are at par with Mexicans., 2 of my favourite countries.
They really are :)
Your comment was so interesting. I have told many people that they remind me of Mexicans as well. They seem so sweet and hospitable. 🇲🇽🇹🇷
@@lisal.5119 Indeed! I miss both countries.

Love this! Turkey was the first place I ever traveled abroad to (from the U.S.). I was a 21-year old solo-female traveler from the country who had never taken a city bus before. I couldn't have chosen a better place to travel to. Everyone in the states was afraid of ISIS at the time; I arrived in Istanbul, stayed for eight months, and quickly realized just how much American media dramatizes everything. There were four instances where men made me feel unsafe....but aside from that, I had no problems there. There's no place like it in the world.
Its a beautiful place!
Isis really doesn’t represent Islam man, in fact, all they do is kill Muslims. If the 2016 coup attempt was succesfull, the first thing they would do would be to start killing Turkish Muslims. 😞
@@esra9993 I didn't say ISIS does ;)
If you have plans on visiting again, hit me up! I may guide you! And sorry for those experiences.. as a woman in Turkey, i had similar ones too. Some parts of Turkey can be considered dangerous about those issues.
@@eliszeynep1641 It’s the same in everywhere. I’m a woman from Turkey too but i have never been harassed in Turkey like i did in Europe. People even grabbed my ass and touched me in the most popular places and that never happened to me in Turkey before

Visited Istanbul for a 8 hour layover and can't wait to go back. Love Turkey's history, music, etc. What a spectacular country!! Cuban/American from Miami, Florida.

78, woah
Such a beautiful and necessary video! I was just like you before I went to Turkey and started traveling the world, all the media over here had brain washed me without noticing it. I never was someone to trust the media, but whenever someone asked me about going to Turkey or the middle east I always was like "meh I don't know about that" until I finally decided to go and get my own impression of the world. I was so beautifully welcomed in Turkey, the people were so kind and helping, I was so ashamed of myself that I let myself get manipulated from the media over here. I initially only wanted to stay for 2 weeks, but ended up staying there for 2 months, traveling to different parts of the country. Turkey has got to have the most diverse culture in the world. Each part of Turkey I visited is so unique and different, it's like traveling to multiple unique countries except that it's only 1. The only things they all had in common was the kindness of the people. And I loved the call to prayer, I always got the chills when the call started and they stopped playing music and trading in the entire city out of respect for the call. After Turkey I traveled to Azerbaijan and to Pakistan and experienced the same thing, the people were all so loving and welcoming. Inviting a complete stranger into their homes and to dinner eventhough they weren't the wealthiest people. I was invited to so many dinners and homes where the families didn't even have a proper home, but were living in a tent. It's just incredibly sad when we look at how the media portrays Islamic countries nowadays and how many people believe it (like I did). That's when I learned how important traveling and interhuman connection is.
Thank you very much for your beautiful thoughts.
Thanks you my friend!
Unfortunately, historically Turkey has problems with it's neighbour countries. Especially Armenian and Greek imposition is so strong in America, even in France against Turkey and Turkish people. We, the people are not evil beasts all around the world. Even in Turkey, media is so strong to manipulate people. I really hate politics. After Ottoman Empire collapse, the Western ideas unfortunately destroyed many relationships between cultures. Western ideas have created borders, and the borders made people against to each other.. I love Armenian history, Greek history but everyone try to make their borders to be broaden. We did terrible things also(I didnt :), Greeks did terrible things, Armenians did terrible things.. But western ideas, let say Wilson Principles, made everything worse. Millions of muslim poeple were killed, millions of christian poeple were killed in world wars, no one is innocent in history. Turkish culture is mixture of many cultres, it is Anatolian culture and you cannot create any border within this culture.
Thank you mate. Appreciated for your kind commentry.
Yeah, I think Turkey doesnt look like middle east
After watching some of the Turkish tv shows i really felt connected to it.. Then I started watching videos on youtube to know more about it and as a result i really loved this country ... Its History, culture & tradition, cuisine, people, everything is just amazing... i really wish to visit Turkey once in my life...
You should!
Same here. That is how I became so intrigued with Turkey and their history. I stopped watching all American TV and I still watch Turkish TV and historical dramas today. I read many things about the history of Turkey 🇹🇷. I am Ukraine descent although I wasn't born in Ukraine. I have older generation of family who was. I originally come from Canada 🇨🇦 but I live in USA 🇺🇸. I will visit Turkey one day. If it's the last thing I do!!!✌🇹🇷
I love Turkey, I LOVE Turkish people

From
A Turkish girl :)
My own experience was arriving into Istanbul just as a home football team has just won and as a result, my ride from the airport to my guesthouse in Sultanahmet was filled with extremely happy, cheering fans on their way home. It was an intense introduction to the country and my first time ever backpacking alone. I immediately liked Turkish people. It was in Turkey that I also first heard Call to Prayer, and I don’t really know how to describe it, but it was super beautiful and unique because the Blue Mosque was calling to another mosque, and it sounded like they were singing call and response to each other. I think I had tears in my eyes the first time I experienced that one evening. Deeply memorable experience. 🙏
Arent these random special moments the best! Wish i was there to experience that!

@@DivertLiving I like this Comment, Why Turkey is not a safe country to travel ?
Although reluctantly, we have to admit it: Turkey is not a safe country to travel. Read all about the dangers ahead!
.
.
Risk of an overdose of turquoise
With a coastline that spans more than 8,000 kilometers (approximately 5,000 miles), there is an increased risk of ending up at the beach. And those beaches are pristine! And the water is blue. Or worse…, turquoise. Turkey has beaches in all colors of blue. Colors that seem to change every day, depending on the weather, but always blue. So, if you’re not a big fan of blue - and in particular turquoise - stay away from Turkish beaches. You will be annoyed with the crystal clear water and the paradise beaches. In fact, there are so many beaches, that you will be spoiled for choice. Another risk here…, the stress of decision making! You can’t possibly try them all.
....
Risk of being immersed in history and culture
Turkey is not all about turquoise beaches and pristine bays. The country has a rich history and plenty of ancient sites to show for that. There are ‘ancient stones’ everywhere. Of course, a city like Istanbul is a cultural hub. And sites like Ephesus, Pamukkale, Mount Nemrut or Troy are world famous. The country has 16 sites inscribed on the World Heritage List! But you don’t have to visit those sites to be surrounded by history. It is simply everywhere. The smallest villages have ancient Lycian graves, rock tombs or remains of entire cities or civilizations. You will always be surprised at the amount of history that is just waiting for you to discover it. When in fear of having to deal with the beauty of history or culture when on holiday, you might want to reconsider visiting Turkey!
.....
Risk of gaining weight
Beware! Turkish food is delicious! And there is food everywhere. Really… Even when you think you’ve just found the most remote and isolated spot in Turkey, someone will be offering you food or tea. And the problem is, this doesn’t just happen to you once. It happens every day. You will spend an entire trip surrounded by food stalls selling delicious (and healthy) street food. You will have to resist countless seaside restaurants serving fresh fish and meze. You will have to refuse complementary fruit plates after your meal or even when enjoying a drink or cocktail on the beach. Oh, and please DO NOT have a Turkish breakfast! It feels like dying and going to heaven. A traditional Turkish breakfast (köy kahvaltısı) is a feast! It is a table full of food, most of the times organic and it will take hours of whiling away the day enjoying those yummies. In short, the dangers of people serving you the tastiest meals are genuine. If you plan on starving yourself, don’t come to Turkey.
.....
Risk of making Turkish friends (for life)
If you are the “I do not want to meet any local” kind of person, then you’re in trouble when visiting Turkey. Locals LOVE foreigners. They will go out of their way to make you happy. They are so welcoming and hospitable that they would not only feed you or even offer you a bed for the night. They might also be genuinely interested in who you are and what you love about Turkey. You might end up being the guest of honor at a wedding or meet the Muhtar (head of the village) for a cup of tea or Turkish coffee. Another thing…, Turkish people love hitchhikers and even people that are not hitchhiking but seem to have a long road ahead. It is almost part of a tradition. Makes sense, if you own a car and someone doesn’t, why not stop to take them along if you are going the same way? Of even better, why not drive your temporary guests straight to their destination? After all, that’s what being hospitable is all about! Indeed, there is a huge risk in Turkey of bonding with locals and making friends for life. If you feel uncomfortable making new friends, Turkey is not for you.
.....
Risk of too much contentment
With all the good food, the lovely friendly people, beautiful nature, beaches, and bays and an always present aroma of history and culture, you risk feeling content and happy. Not just for a split second, but the entire time. And that is where the real danger of coming to Turkey lies… You may feel so good in Turkey; you never want to leave again. And if you do manage to drag yourself back home, beware, as you may be back sooner than you think! It’s magic!
unfortunately holywood and tv shows depicts Turkey as some kind of arabian place in middle eastern but it's not true at all. Turkey is more like eu and has its own styles too.

My home base is now on the Turquoise Coast, near the tourist city of Fethiye. What a paradise filled with friendly people, amazing historical sites, and glorious nature!
Its beautiful here!
@@DivertLiving You're right!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE EASTERN CITIES OF TURKEY. YOU CAN SEE THINGS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. A PLACE FULL OF NATURAL WONDERS. I AM PROUD TO HELP
@@ramazanyldz2242 Thank you for the recommendation. Yes, I am creating a long list of the cities I must visit, East, West, North, and South. What a great country. :-)
@@merinaheartfire As you said, this is a very big country. but my advice is erzurum, van, diyarbakir, mardin and siirt provinces. The nature of Erzurum is perfect. Southern cities have a long history. I will help you if you come to erzurum or bingol :-)
I am very happy to watch such a nice video about my country and thank you for your nice comments. There are too many prejudices about Turkey, even there are people who believe that we are riding camels in Turkey! But I believe these prejudices will end thanks to people like you. As Turkish people, we care and respect the guests from other countries, it is the most important thing for us that they are comfortable and "feel at home". I hope you felt like you were at home. Lots of love from Istanbul.
Thank you so much for watching!

Right! Such an amazing place!
This is the first time in UA-cam i feel like someone is very sincere as he talks about Turkey, he is like part of us, enjoy your day in Turkey🤗
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed your video! I have been living in Turkey for almost 2 years and I also feel like other countries have the wrong impression about the Turks. Everyone should put Turkey on their travel list.
Loved it there!
A tiny correction: You'll never, ever see *military* guarding somewhere inside big cities like İstanbul, even during times of crisis. What you saw were more than likely to be Police Special Forces. They also wear military-like camuflage and may ride with MRAPs or APCs. Its not uncommon to see them guarding (normally) crowded or touristic areas.

Thank you for opening your eyes! Politics and BS is always against Turkish. I have been traveling there since 2016 last year during the pandemic who opened there doors, Turkey.
Now I am permanently moving to Türkey from South Africa.
The police are always freindly and helpful.

Turkey people are so respectful . Even tho I know Im not beautiful compared to Turkish girls. I am far away from the beauty standard but .... every Turkish people that I met told me that im pretty , guzel etc . I appreciate it so much . They are very kind . Always tell me a nice things that made me feels so valuable and loved . They always helping and support whatever I did :🍁
Thats because everybody is beautiful in their own way. Pls don’t talk like that about yourself. The way you talk and feel is the way you’ll express yourself. Trust in yourself.

Everyone I know cannot wait to go back to Turkey after their first visit 👍 Turkish people originated from North Eastern Asia and this is why Turkish is in the same language group as Korean for instance. And yes they act and look like Europeans as Turkey is literally the bridge between Europe and Asia. Turkish coffee/tea, the food, the culture, the history (just google Ataturk), the people, the super clean blue sea, the endless sandy beaches...👌

Glad you enjoyed your time in Turkey and loved the people, they really are amazing, super friendly and hospitable.
Tourists would have fewer misconceptions about Turkey and less of a cultural shock if they read anything about Turkey before travelling there :) it is always worth getting some knowledge about the place you want to visit. Like, for example, they wouldn't be shocked that Turkish people don't look Arabic ;-) Why would they, they are not Arabs. Etc, etc.
They really are so friendly!

Greetings from Turkey.God bless you!Such a humble and kind soul.Even your critisism was so fun to watch.Thank you for all the kind and nice comments you are always most welcome.
Thank you so much!
As a Turk very happy to hear such a wonderful insight about my country, thank you 🌸
Do you live in Turkey?
Turkey has a no-kill and no-capture policy towards their stray animals, and a long history with animal protection and care. They just simply LOVE animals. Cats, Birds, Dogs.. any animal will be treated with respect since it's part of the islam to love all living creatures. Even slaughtering animals for food requires them to pray for the sacrifice.
Is it bcz of Islam? No there are plenty of İslamic countries that I visited. It's not bcz of Islam it's bcz of high Turkish leniency.
I have a hard time understanding this, if they love animals so much why do they abandon them? Why are there so many stray cats and dogs...
@@Frenchified stray animals in turkey arent abandoned, theyre taken care of by everyone. especially teenagers (like me lol) leave out food and water for them and we even name them and bring them to the vet if theyre sick
@@Frenchified you misunderstood something. We dont buy those animals or adopt them from somewhere. They are all born in the streets. So we feed them in their own habitat. It is very rare in Turkey that people abandon their household animals to the streets. So, they are all stray animals by nature☺️
@@lupvium wow that is amazing. I would love to live in a place like that. 🥺❤️

Loved this video! I've been to Turkey twice & I always felt safe & welcomed. From Istanbul to Antakya/Samandag the SAME...wonderful people!
we are tolerant to everyone and we are pleased to host everyone. So why is turcophobia so high in the world? I don't think we deserve to be hated this much. Damn the media.
@@ObamaBinLaden792 I personally don't think there is "Turkophobia" going on... Some people who are ignorant may blame religion. But, they would be wrong. Turkiye & her people are wonderful! My love & prayers go out to Turkiye on the recent earthquakes & flooding ❣️🙏❣️
@@christineholliday4564 Unfortunately, people have very negative thoughts about Islam and Muslim countries. Especially Europeans hate Turkey because of its historical background and Islam. I don't think anything is objectively evaluated. If you follow the American and European media, you can see many negative posts about Turkey.
@@ObamaBinLaden792 I understand your point of view, and yes, sadly you are correct. But, I think it is more directed at religion and not against Turkiye itself. I love Turkiye and I know many people who do also...
@@christineholliday4564 My heart beats for people like you. Unfortunately, a very dirty generation is growing up around the world. People are bad, racist. irreverent. There are many such people in my country, Turkey.
Hey Jimmy, I’m glad that you had a wonderful experiences while traveling in Istanbul during COVID-19, I get handed to you that you have a very advantageous spirit considering the lack of normalcy we are all facing during this pandemic 😷
I’m foreigner living in Turkey and I can vouch for you that Turkish people are most hospitable people I have ever met and also most diverse and believe most may be Muslims but absolutely have no Middle Eastern mentality.
Couple of correction thought, first there are no military personnel roaming around cities in Turkey, so the uniformed folks you met were all from Turkish Police, the thing is unlike in the US, Turkey has different Police units, quite colorful if you asked me.
Second, and this is important, like in any major city if you want buy Gucci products as an example, then just go to any Gucci Store, and believe there are plenty of them in Istanbul, believe me you will find more rip-offs on the streets of New York City than in Istanbul.
Fun Facts:
Istanbul has bigger and better malls than New York City or London.
Istanbul has better and more accessible and on time public transit systems than New York and London.
Finally, a friendly advice, if you want make of best of any city or town since you won’t be able to visit whole of Turkey and this applies anywhere else in the World,
First and foremost, respect and appreciate local customs, rules and regulations.
Keep us posted, keep safe and stay healthy,
Cool Running 🏃♂️
P.S, Turkish people are quite ethically diverse so if you run to white/blue eyed/blonde or brown or even black Turkish person, just remember this country was a part of an Empire that dominated much of the world for so long and way before Mayflower docked in New England.
👏👏👏

Turkey is located on a very strategically important place in the world. that's one of the reasons why we might have some countries that doesn't like us. you may hear a lot of fake news, but if you experience it first hand by yourself. You can see that we are friendly, welcoming, helpful and kind people. i like that people like you spreads the truthful information around. God bless You friend.
So Turkey occupying Cyprus is fake news? Hundreds of thousands of illegal Turkish settlers overwhelmingly the Turkish Cypriots is also fake?.
@@wat4089 occupying Cyprus? Please first read and learn history. One question; what was the reason of Turkey's engagement to Cyprus and what was her rights to do that?
@@selinozgur Cyprus refused USA military bases on Cyprus so the USA planned in 1964 with Turkey to inv*de Cyprus. In 1974 Turkey intervened in Cyprus with the excuse to stop the illegal Greek coup and protect Greek and Turk Cypriots but Turkey invaded instead and occupied 39% of Cyprus since 1974. Turkey instead of protecting the government of Cyprus it inv*ded and occupied.
You are the one that should learn history. What happened in Cyprus was because of the cold war.
@@wat4089 Hımm but you did not mentioned the word ENOSIS sorry for my poor Greek but please tell us the meaning of that word. And there was no US military base in Cyprus before, instead there were and still British military bases in the Island (Both in your territory by the way). Also please be aware that there is no cold war anymore.. and in 2004 Greeks the ones who refused reunification.. look my friend; almost 50 years past and you still don't understand that there are two nations in that island and the new generation of both sides do not know each other's language, culture, history and etc. Do you really believe that there can be reunification and one single country again? Let's be realistic, even if Turkis withdraw her army from the island, according to agreement between Greece, UK and Turkey, she always have her rights of guarantor state..
@@selinozgurEnosis means Union.
Turkey was used by NATO aka USA because Cyprus refused to have American military bases. The UK bases did not matter to them. They feared that Cyprus would side with the Soviets. Also the British and the USA feared that Cyprus would unite with Greece which that mean that the UK would have to leave Cyprus. The invasion was orchestrated by the USA and UK.
Turkey broke the guarantor treaty when they invaded. Cyprus has a majority Greek population and a democracy and we had the right to vote and decide if we want a union with another country but in 1967-1974 we didnt want union because Greece was a dictatorship.
In 2004 we said no because that would legitimize the occupation. 2004 annan plan said that there would be 2 federal states. Turkey and Greece would have to maintaine a big military here and the Turk Cypriots which are a minority would have 50% of the government power which is undemocratic. The minority would decide the fate of the majority. Also the plan would allow all illegal Turkish settlers to say which means the majority of the population would be Turkish instead of Turk Cypriot and that legitimizes the occupation too. We would legitimize our ethnic cleansing.
You know nothing about Cyprus except propaganda. Turkey has no right to be here without our permission. Its an occupation. Turkey brought hundreds of thousands of illegal mainland settlers and now the Turk Cypriots are a minority, this is a crime against humanity.
Turks wilk do what Turks do, steal lands.
Turkey is amazing. I have been three times. Love the culture, people, food, shops. They are very superstitious and you will find the evil eye everywhere. Hopefully 2022 will be a better year to travel would really like to go back.
you re always welcome sister :)

Thanks a lot for taking this video!!! When I went to abroad for the first time, I got shocked about what foreigners think about my country. Everybody was agreed on that Turkey is unsafe country which is not true. Western media always tries block Turkey and creates unreal impressions and prejudices. I live close to Izmir for anyone wants to visit I would be happy to host. Stay safe and visit my lovely country again and again.
Perfectly accurate video, sending my thanks to you from Turkey, this was by far the best travel guide about Turkey, it is perfect
I do love your way to fairly and honestly express your time in Turkey as a Turkish person living in the US.
The land of seljuks and the ottoman these people turks were kind ,merciful and respectfully to human and the animals for thousands years
Dogs and cats, animals in general are very important for the turks, even before of the ottoman empire, since seldçuks empire, the animals are holy for the turks
Thats so good to hear and learn about
Except eatable animals :DDD like cow chicken we love eat meat
@@hasannaral1767 So funny!
If they are so important to them why do they abandon them, why are there some many stray cats and dogs? This is awful, a culture that cherishes animals, does not abandon them.
@@Frenchified They are not abandoned animals. They are cats and dogs born somewhere in nature or in the city, just like birds, insects, squirrels. They have lived naturally outside homes for centuries. In addition, pets are not living things that have come into existence spontaneously in the home environment. They have lived in nature throughout history and today people have adopted animals that can be kept at home. The fact that there are no cat and dog-like animals in your country, in the city or in nature does not mean that they cannot live outside. Also, many of our people help these animals. Do not try to blindly smear a country without knowing it. Turkey is a beautiful country. The bad person is bad everywhere. There can be ignorant people in any country. If you care about animals that much, speak out against those who produce new cat breeds that human beings have created according to their own aesthetic ideas, and those who play with the genetics of animals and turn it into a breeding frenzy. Because by doing this, you look like a hater towards Turkey. Finally, I would like to say that you can research the love of animals in Turkish history. For example, birdhouses and animal rights archival documents in the Ottoman Empire...
I come from Germany and yes it is a cultural schock, that turkey‘s people are so friendly and warmth to people, than here 😅😅😅😂

Hallo ausländer
Hİ FROM TURKEY İN MERSIN (THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION ) WE ARE TURKS .. HOSPITABLE. WE ARE FRIENDLY .. NATURAL PEOPLE. WE HAVE 4 SEASONS IN 1 YEAR .. BUT OUR HEART IS ALWAYS SPRING...THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO..
Why is safety debated so much when it comes to Turkey? In my 24 years of living here, I have never felt unsafe. Never had anyone jump me or rob me. Most dangerous thing I had happen to me was a homeless young guy trying to look intimidating and demanded money on a busy street once and he just left once I disclosed I didn't have any cash on me. Just don't visit notoriously dangerous places and light up a joint in a public area and you should be fine.
As a Turkish American I thank you for the video, yes... Turkey is an undiscovered GEM in the world, many have prejudices about the country being mostly Muslim, but there are many who are Christians and Jews, and other religions. The rich diverse culture from all 4 corners of Turkey is very unique. Isn't the food just so succulent? Turkish cuisine is one of the richest in the world.

Been going there back and forth for almost 15 yrs when we decided to buy a house unfortunately the pandemic happened. I love Turkey to bite. Yeeah you'll meet a lot of scammers specially these days cos of the pandemic but the worst are the taxi carefully your check your banknotes and insist on paying only what it shows but now I think there's Uber in Turkey so it's better. I gotcha ya when Everytime I ask my friends from the USA to meet there they were sceptical n I say same thing there's attacks everywhere we can die. Until they visit they were blown away since I know every corner in İstanbul and where to have fun. Turkish people are really awesome because they are different they are open and friendly!! My friends in Turkey are amazing they never let me pay for anything or let me go to my hotel room without making sure I'm safe. Honestly I feel safe in istanbul it's clean it's cheaper people are super friendly toilets are awesome and clean and the urban architecture is just breath taking. Please visit all Turkey you will be bewitched by its beauty
Its a beautiful place for sure!
we used to have UBER but govenrtment forbid uber bc taxi owners didn't wanted uber bc they paid for their taxi plate around $150k but uber was free so they did not want
