It snows in Turkey every year. We have ski resorts too, and some villages are cut off from other cities for months due to heavy snow every year. Especially in eastern Turkey it can go down to -30 celcius degrees. Turkey has much higher elevation compared to Europe.
Thanks for the kind words 😄 We really enjoyed exploring the country! We definitely want to come back to visit Cappadocia, what other places do you recommend visiting while we're there?
@@AshandKels snow is very common in Turkey. Due to high elevation of many cities in turkey it snows a lot in winter. Most tourist imagine of Antalya or Bodrum ( or other coastal mediterenian cities )when thinking about Turkey. Istanbul gets around 7-10 days of snow every year. In eastern turkey most cities are covered in snow for entire winter. Don’t forget Turkey have lots of mountains
Oooo sonunda geldiniz istanbulumuza hoş geldiniz bol bol gezin inşallah beğenirsiniz havalar biraz kötü ama her hâliyle güzeldir bizim İstanbulu,muz tekrardan hoşgeldiniz👍🙏
Istanbul was our first stop in Turkey and we loved it, the weather was great at the time as well! We both agree that it’s one of our favourite cities 😁
Tell me about the bus ride!!! I used to travel by bus when I was in TR and it was not bad at all. Couple of years ago I was in London and had to travel to Eden project in Cornwall for a seminar. Instead of hiring a car I decided to travel by bus, although couple of my friends warned me about the National Express buses but I thought it wouldn't be worst than Turkish buses so i took the plunge and got on the National express from Victoria bus station to St Austell in Cornwall. Since then every time I think about the journey literately my bottom hurts. Think about 9 hours sitting on a continuously vibrating very hard plastic seat. Worst journey ever... By the way I immensely enjoy watching your channel.
The public transport in the UK is probably the worst we've seen in any country! Turkish public transport was spot on from the long distance buses to the little dolmus! Thank you for watching! Is there anywhere you'd like to see us travel to this year? 😄
Knowing you're going to be flying from Istanbul in these days, I was worried that you've booked your flight on the European side airport because there has been some problems going on there during the snow storm as it hit that north european Black Sea coast of Istanbul really badly. Glad you didn't need to dive into that chaos. It's also sad to see our lovely guests to go but I understand there are many beautiful places in the world to see. I hope you've enjoyed your time here and hope to welcome you back asap :)
Thank you for watching as we traveled your country! We loved our time there and will definitely be back soon as we really want to visit Cappadocia! We weren't really sure what we were going to see when we got back to Istanbul! It was crazy to see that much snow there! Is there anywhere you'd like to see us travel to this year? 😁
@@AshandKels Not particularly, except expecting you back in Turkey but I don't know if it's gonna be this year :) You should go where you'd like to see most. That would make better videos in general because you'll be more motivated. I'm glad to see any place through your eyes. I might suggest you invest in a drone when you can though, it helps especially when you go to big natural parks, etc :)
Unbelievable that it has been one month for you guys traveling through Turkey. That went by fast for me as well :-) Can't wait to see what the next destination is going to be.
They just do a couple of stops which kind of makes sense as it gives you a chance to grab some snacks from the shop too! Thank you for the kind words ☺️ Is there anywhere you'd like to see us travel to this year?
@@AshandKels I try to avoid long bus journeys but my longest journey by train was from Olsztyn in Poland to Braunschweig in Germany. It took 14hours many years ago. I really enjoyed it cause you can have a walk, read a book or use a restaurant on a train so the time passes quickly👌I also had a train journey from Warsaw to Barcelona and Budapest!My son loves train journeys - so much freedom!
That all turned out well. You got a great deal with the hotel, and Sabiha Gökçen (she was Turkey's first female pilot) Airport is so much more convenient than Istanbul Airport on the European side which is miles out. Did you fly with Pegasus to Germany? A reliable low cost Turkish airline, just make sure you take your own snacks with you.
Yeah it was really handy so close to the hotel! Ah wow that's interesting, we didn't know that. Thanks for all the information throughout our Turkey trip it's been really insightful! Yeah Pegasus, nice and easy and the flight went really quick! Is there anywhere you'd like to see us travel this year? 😁
@@AshandKels You might enjoy Serbia, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania. I haven't yet visited any of those countries but I've been getting inspiration from travel vlogs.... and those countries are all budget-friendly which makes them worth considering. Albania in particular has surprised visitors with the friendliness of the people and standard of food. So unlike the image many of us have of the country.
@@AshandKels One couple I follow here on UA-cam, Matt and Julia, rented a car in Skopje, North Macedonia, which they were able to take across borders, and made getting around so much easier. I seem to recall they drove as far as Ukraine, and then all the way back to Skopje. They must have got a very good deal since they had the car for about two months.
@@AshandKels Also Ahmet Ali Çelikten is the first Afro-Turkish pilot and fighter pilot. He was the first black pilot of the history. He was one of the first black men to become a fighter pilot in the history. He was a Turkish Army Officer and fought in WW1 and Turkish War of Independence, he retired as a Colonel in 1949. During the Atatürk era aviation was very popular in Turkey both government and private institutions were working hard on aviation and aircraft designs. Sabiha Gökçen was adopted by Field Marshall Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk the founder and first president of Turkish Republic she wanted to be a pilot and she became a great pilot even a fighter pilot. Leman Bozkurt Altınçekiç is the first female fighter jet pilot of history and served as the only female fighter jet pilot in NATO for a long time. And First Aviator of history Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi (1609-1640) is the first human to be able to fly with the wings he built and he jumped from the Galata Tower in Istanbul and landed on the other side of the Bosporus. Ottoman emperor also watched his flight and rewarded him with a big sack of gold and also exiled him for being dangerous as he can be able to fly.
Hi Ash and Kels! Can you tell me which bus and station you took from Antalya to Istanbul, your drop-off point, and the name of your hotel? I too need to travel from Antalya to IST airport.
We took the bus from Antalya otogar up to Istanbul dudullu (Asian side) as we were flying from SAW airport, however the same bus went on to stop on the European side
@@AshandKels Thank you. I am flying out of Istanbul airport so I think I may have to take a different bus. I am having a hard time figuring out to get from Antalya to a hotel near Istanbul airport.

Thank you Ash & Kels, I enjoyed your videos in Turkey. Best Wishes.
Thanks for watching we're glad you enjoyed! We're moving on to Germany next! Is there anywhere you'd like to see us travel to? 😄
Massive thank you to everyone that tuned in for our Turkey travel series 😁 let us know in the comments where you’d like to see us travel to next!

We didn’t know this, was so strange to see snow in Turkey!
Great idea from getting to Istanbul. Much cheaper than flying directly to Antalya. We well just do the same! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you guys for visiting Turkey. hope next time u guys visit anatolia too. Turkey big country you guys seen only half part.
Thanks for the kind words 😄 We really enjoyed exploring the country! We definitely want to come back to visit Cappadocia, what other places do you recommend visiting while we're there?
I heard about the snow in Istanbul. That is quite a storm. Great video. Thank you.
It was insane to think there'd be that much snow in Turkey, We'd normally think of it as a hot country! Have you ever been to Istanbul? 😁

It snows that much every year in Istanbul 30 to 80 cm of snow for 7-10 days

It snows a lot in Turkey especially in Eastern Turkey but yeah stereotypes.
We had no idea!
So can I move from turkey to Germany by road 🛣️😢❤❤

It’s gone so quickly, we loved our time in Turkey! We are currently in Germany, first video is going up tomorrow 😄 anywhere you’d like to see us go?
@@AshandKels Munich would be my suggestion. It's a beautiful city and not far from the neuschwanstein castle, which is really worth a visit.
I prefer no toilets on the bus😊I'm glad you've had a safe and comfortable journey✌

Any way. Both are good in Turkey

Hi ya, thanks for this vlog. Where did you get the bus from? Is it possible to buy it online?
Phenomenal 😍👌
Thank you! and thanks for watching 😄
hey, hv fun! a question: do they ask for Corona test or Vaccination Card for cross country bus ride? or just HES code is enough? tx! nice video :)
I think they just asked for the HES code and made sure masks were being worn ☺️ thank you!
Hi, I do you know if these buses would have air-conditioning? Thanks :)
When we went it was pretty cold so they were likely not on, but I’m sure they would be in summer!
Perfect
Thank you!
Hi what was the bus company name please
Hi Ash and Kels! Can you tell me which bus and station you took from Antalya to Istanbul, your drop-off point, and the name of your hotel? I too need to travel from Antalya to IST airport.

Don’t’ you have a heat on the Bus?
Not at the beginning of the bus ride but towards the end the heating was turned on!
