My favorite city in the world. Greetings from a Greek who has been there 10 times.
Excellent documentary about the city where I have been a frequent visitor since 1987.
''if the world is one state,Istanbul would be its capital''-napoleon.
In Napoleon's time, Istanbul was Constantinople.

NAPOLEON TRYED BUT ARTER RUNNED OUT

Born Colombo lived in Istanbul for 11 years .. worked in Berlin for 9 years.. cant live any where .. whent back to Istanbul.. gozum seni ozledim,
I love Istanbul-Constantinople so much.😊😇🥰😍🤗
Istanbul is a wonderful city...
I love this country and it’s people. Family is truly family here.
Oh I used to live 3 years in Istanbul and was not bad at all,very exotic and oriental in a charming way.
do they have airbn? is it ok for Christian to come and see some religious sites?
@@gerishcolesc5374 will hardly find another fully muslim place that is so incredibly tolerant. Other muslims from various countries told me they also felt very free and serene with Islam there, only the balkans have a 'similar' opening. Istanbul (Turkey, everywhere i visited til now) is magic.
It is a very very tolerant place, nothing like other muslim countries, in Turlkey I saw also muslims are more relaxed
@@gerishcolesc5374 Yes, there are Christians who practice their religion in Turkey. You can find some of the most beautiful churches, synagogs etc., over here.
As a Turk I grow in Avcılar beofre 2008 was everything was good I miss my neighbors now I live in polland with my gf here people are so cold heart and uncivilized I will back Türkiye after 2025 wait me

I don't want to live anywhere else in the world other than Turkey ..what an amazing country ..Greetings from Cairo
InfiniteBeach34 what about persians
Reasonable We generally like Persians, they seem to be only sane people in the middle east along with lebanese and israelis
bibi ozera Yes, they have first world democracy and perfect infrastructure, religious freedom, lgbt rights, good education which all obviously makes them a saner nation than surrounding arabs.

funny, You stole the land - you are not even hygienic and smell bad, and worst of all you only speak one language you B******** .
Gallipoli is now claimed as only a Turkish victory. It was there that Colonel Mustafa Kemal (the founder of modern Turkey) twice thwarted Allied attacks, saving an empire that he would then overthrow.
Yet, historians now point out it was with the help of Arab troops that his reputation was built. “Two thirds of the troops who made up his 19th Division that faced the first wave of the Allied invasion were Syrian Arabs,
comprising the 72nd and 77th regiments of the Ottoman army,” says Turkey-based Australian writer and historian Bill Sellars.
The battle was highly significant for Australians too, as they made up an important part of the British imperial forces at Gallipoli. Their experience during the campaign - alongside New Zealanders, who together became known as the ANZACs - helped forge Australia’s own national identity.
Love this city. Always , but when you get older , you want someplace slower and quieter
Most amazing city I’ve ever been to.
Very informative video, I been in Istanbul 6 times and still learning.
@@fragmaka Nah, that's Australia, the HIV capital of the world.
@@deanyilmaz8090 virtually no new cases.......you are safe from aids in turkey unless you catch it from a cat someone else fucked
For many reason , like , love turkiye , turkish , istanbul is diversty city , great culture n colourfull , delicious food too
It's awesome when religions and cultures come together. I hope to visit this nation someday.
religion from the dark ages and the mentality hasn't changed. they are still living under a demonic deity
@@fragmaka lol
Don`t listen to that moron. My husband and I are from different faiths. We literally just arrived from there. If you do it right, you will not understand how much you`re going to love it. I didn`t want to go at first but my husband had been there 12 times and he was insisting we go together and we did. My jaws were hitting the ground the whole trip. The mixture is amazing and people don`t care where you`re from. Also, most things are pretty cheap (wink wink) except for transport. Try to take the metro.It`s safe.
@@sweettorment641 Thank you for praising Turkey. I'm Turkish. I live in Turkey. If foreign people come to our country and don't cause any problems, it's fine. Respect is very important to us.
God job! Good video documentary for everyone having plan to visit Turkey. Thank you.
awesome Thank you for showing us historical places
From the kingdom of Morocco geat wishes of perment success to Turkey and its people .
Oh I LOVED this🌷Thank you🙏
I am amazed at how much the city of Porto, in Portugal resembles Istanbul. Istanbul is the Mother of Cities!
can't wait to see you Turkey next year. I am so excited, the country has a very profound and varieties of cultures, traditions, history. I love Turkey. See you Ankara and Istanbul.
@@democracysaved2577 oh, no! You just got the title for the troll of the decade, congrats!
We don't like what is going on in Turkey right now but we didn't loose hope yet!!
See Ephesus.!
since this documentary the metro system expanded and now connects the two continents and more, there is also an underwater tunnel for the vehicles to cross, the progress and development is staggering, some say that some of this development is not well planned....
Jobart Canli What's wrong with the development?
@@professionalhacker2834 The "shortcuts" taken to do it. The buildings torn down etc
WOW - Much as I have experienced Istanbul during 3 visits... At Home...
This city draws me in like a magnet! My family is from that side of the Aegean I’ve always thought that that was why. 🇬🇷🇹🇷🇨🇾
Oh Turkey I really feel a connection to you. 💖Wonderful documentary (well, except for the questionable "artistic" interstitial camera-work with the blurry lights, back/forward matching, and prolonged images of cement and traffic, not sure why they did that, seemed unnecessarily long). Beautiful country and I long to visit someday! 💛💛💛
Superb documentary. Enjoyed
beautiful people and city
very informative.thank you
I LOVE ISTANBUL!!!!!!!! Love from Miami....
Beautifully-narrated
Middle class built wooden houses near Bosphorus called "yali".
Not even the richest people of some other Turkish cities' can afford to buy one of those, forget about the "middle class" .
i saw one it was around 25 million dolars its crazy but you pay for the place and the view
Yea that hundreds of years ago though. It’s like everywhere premium urban space is expensive
yeah it's crazy how they were built by and for the middle class but now they only serve the rich
Haghia Sophia is 1000 years older than the Blue Mosque, not 100 years.
Love Turkey,

LOVE AND GREETINGS TO TURKEY! 🇹🇷❤🇷🇴
Nice video !
I just came home from Istanbul. You guys have to go and stay like 10 days because 3 days + 2 days coming in and out were definitely not enough for us.
PS: The food is just unbelievable ( even the international dishes, my husband and I ordered so much Asian food on our last night that people were staring at us haha).
That's helpful, thank you! Is there a particular part of the city you recommend staying in? We love to walk.
Excellent video
I love Turkey ♥️
I love ham 😎
Turkey loves you.
Very great video , well done
Beautiful, mashallah
Wonderful Video

thank you very much!! I love istanbul so much I am in love with this city and traditions!
I bet you like the custom that all new visitors get screwed up their bottoms
Istanbul is my dream city to live in one day
İstanbul çok yaşa
Mülteciler yokmuş o zamanlar çok duygulandım, insanlar cok daha mutlularmış çok daha hayat dolularmış
Nice documentary
Istanbul is now the 4th largest city proper of the world with over 15 million!
It uses to be the biggest in the world but then the 4th crusade happened 😢
@@thegreekdeal4747 it was in decay way before the fourth crusade.
@@deumevet At the time of the fourth Crusade Constantinople was half a million people, which was enormous for the time. It hadn't been that populous since the golden age of Justinian in the 6th century. The Comnenus dynasty had restored much of the territory lost since Manzikert in both Anatolia and the Balkans. After the death of Manuel in 1180, 24 years before the disaster, things went bad. The Angeli dynasty was perhaps the worst in Byzantine history and in many ways played a key role in the fourth crusade and the demise of their great city
Lovely, interesting
Very recommendable
Beautiful
Superb
Very nice,,, enjoyed every minute of this video 😊
Shocking documentary disregarding many historical facts!
Nice.
I`m English and have not been far. I was thinking on going to Jerusalem, the First City of Christendom - since I have been to the second ( Rome ) and third ( Santiago de Compostela { Saint James of the Field of Stars } ). But have decided that I must experience an unconventional western way. Therefore, Istanbul it is. I`m petrified of flying, but for the sake of Constantinople.....
Such amazing country and lovely people, salam from Iraq
I love this city. Went first time in 2018, been back 5 times since and even bought a home there. Fell in love with the city, the people and the way they treat animals.
Very interesting! 👍👍
What a remarkable and hedonistic city !
Merci Pierre
Totally unique place - there is no place in the world like Istanbul and no country in the world like Turkey.
Good documentary ! Istanbul is good place to explore it .

Turkey is wonderful
when she is cutting off your head......Yes
may allah assign you to lick toilet bowls clean so that you may have a place in heaven
I talked my wife into going to Turkey. All her GFs told her it was too dangerous, blah, blah. We walked all over Istanbul at midnight, walked to the Bazaar, Spice Market, took that 1930s tram & visited all the tourist destinations. Then we got on a bus & it took us by ferry to Canakkale & all the way to Antalya, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, the Capital (sorry...this place was SO gorgeous, we had to come back 4 or 5 times!) Of course, when my wife's negative friends saw the incredible photos, they were green with envy! If the current president wasn't so nationalistic (actually, so religious-& see Westerners as close to infidels), we were literally going to move to Izmir!
Türkiye is truly a gem!! I've been there 3 times already! 1 with a tour group and twice on my own!
A lot of Turks think Istanbul is dangerous too. Why I don't know. I'm a turkish woman and I have traveled to Istanbul solo and with other gfs many times. It is not dangerous. I love it there.
If you keep yourself safe and do not get too close to people you think are unsafe, it is not considered dangerous, just be careful with your bag in very crowded places and do not go overboard with clothing.
merhaba peace people may peace be upon you insallah
eyvallah,from england.
wow!
one of the more authentic of ancient cities.
other ancient cities haven't done well to ward off modern life too much to mix it together
IDK if you`ve been there but I`m telling you A LOT of the historic site are very well preserved it`s insane.

26:47 Ayasofia is 1.000 years older than Sultanahmet, not 100. It's the second older functional building in the world, newer only the the Pantheon of Rome
Αγύριστο Κεφάλι Yes, you're right. I forgot Rotonda in Thessaloniki. A functional building of the 3rd century AD. If you know of any others functional buildings other than these please let me know.

Istanbul simply derives from the Greek phrase "Eis Tin Poli" which means "In The City". Even the name Anatolia is Greek.
ANATOLI=East in Greek. ANATOLIA = Eastland
The Turkish flag is based on the ancient Greek banner of Constantinople. The Crescent was the symbol of the ancient Greek moon goddess Artemis.
ancient Greek coin from Byzantium (today called Istanbul) with the crescent moon.
Banner Of Constantinople....look familiar? hehe

@@skyturklosangeles why do you get triggered by a simple fact? noone disrespected you. so salty.
@@skyturklosangeles If it is something personal between you and George, ok i should not have meddled. Thought you got angry because he defined the city's name origin. My bad!
At 1:40 we are told it was named "Constantinople" in 7BC. Errr, this is not correct, no?
Did the narrator say that Constantinople got its name in 7 BC? Or am I mishearing him? Constantinople Was named after the emperor Constantine of course on May 11th 330 AD. Where does this 7 BC date come from?
When was this documentary filmed?
I'm Istanbulite and with those old taxis, with audi a4 b7(2004) on the road, seems like it's around 2005. I can't read the banner hanging there exactly at 6:15 but I googled it and figured out something...If the number is 3, it's 2005; if 5 then 2007 as you'd guess. Actually I found out that at 6:36 in the ad on the first vehicle from the left they celebrate 10th anniversary of the İşbank mobile services which points out it's 2007.
I like dervishes so awesome
Where is "Byzantium for ever" in this documentary? Why are you misusing names?
Constantinople looks like a cool place. ,
This was better than I thought it'd be--I don't like the stuffy style at all, but good information.
The nation in turkey can be called turkish but it is absolutely a mix of the eastern roman people mostly turkified and evolved with the turkics.
Big lie
We turks in history' didint marry with foreign people this tradition still live in anatolia turks
Or in bulgaria
We dont like mix
Do they have a tourist group? I am cusrious to go but scared in a way. is it safe?
Gerish Colesc Istanbul safety than new York Los Angeles sf and Europe very safety don’t worry just go
Sick
Gerish Colesc I am Turkish. I live in Turkey. If foreigners come to our country and cause no problems, it's fine. Respect is very important to us.
The only fear you should have is being too attached to the city and it's people and you might have a hard time leaving the city.thata a huge fear
Why are all dates so wrong?

That helps but a little short of explaining,
1) How they make it.
2) If it can fly higher than inches above the ground.
3) If they can make one with a room for multiple person sitting(like in the story).
I really want to visit Istanbul soon. Can someone tell me how much money I should bring in order to spend 2 good weeks in the city? Thanks! (U.S.$)
Kartal thanks man!
How much
12:05 ελληνικά? Τι φάση?
Where is Kartal? He seems to have removed all his comments and closed his account. Are you there Kartal?
Greetings from USA! Great documentary.
🇺🇸🎉🍻🍺🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🎊🇺🇸
So much hate and bitterness spewed in the comments section . Sad , sad , sad . The Greeks I met were jovial , warm and devoid of superiority complex as are Turks . They have so much in common .
Istanbul is not a Turkish word. Greek stanboli, meaning "the city" then stamboul, Istanbul.
Turks did not changed names most of the time.
Stim'boli
Stin'boli
actually "eis tin poli" which means "at the city" in Greek.
Στην πολυ.......;
Ναι!
I was in the area in the late 1950's during the "cold war- I was near Karamursel.
Halloj!
Irtambul forever ..
👍👍🙂
Intro song name?
Unfortunately Istanbul will be hit by a major earthquake within a matter of years. The Anatolian earthquakes monitored have been moving steadily westward. When that happens, thousands will die; millions will be homeless. I mourn for this Queen of cities whoever "owns" it.
fidokalman How did you know there would be an earthquake?
This city is always Constantinople to me.
She is not a muslim city she's a TURKİSH city
Yeah man it's not about religion our people aren't living like radical Muslims in my country and in my city Istanbul. They are all free to do what ever they want 🤣🤣👍
Where is Constantine lol 😂 Constantinople = city of Constantine the emperor is dead and so is the Byzantine eastern Roman Empire be proud that it lasted for so long because the West did more damage to the empire than the East and stop with these provocative comments
When is this from?
Ridiculous documentary. The narration gets some of the most simple, basic facts completely wrong
Yes because it is clearly propaganda, marxism, socialism communism everything. they are trying to take over the world.
Obviously XD
Kamil Sarızeybek if you dont like the truth dont provoke the Greeks but i think is in your dna so we are ready to defend what belongs to Greece as long we dont forget our great history our nation is not afraid any enemy in every war we fight like brave lions till last blood death to our enemies
The fact remains that the Otttoman muslims invaded & conquered Christian Byzantine Constantinople. You have got the hypocrisy to call Greeks greedy when it was your lot who STOLE the Hagia Sophia from the Greek Orthodox Christians, WHO BUILT IT, you moron.
If i was you , i would wonder how Come have " we " elected for a Tyran - is he a mirror of our dark sides ? or is he here to makes us feel so good .....search for the truth within your own country - dont bring the Greeks - they have their shit to deal with . If u have a problem with tolerance , than u have problem with yourself and Universal values . I fu need help to become more peaceful , i can help u out . " Namaste "say the Indians which means " I see YOU "
@MaB - I was just making the same observation. If this Pierre character has been paying attention to Turkey since his first report in 1970, I would expect that historical facts, census, culture, meanings and pronunciation would all be on point - particularly since those were his words emanating from his own lips.
I need a Turkish pen pal .any one interested. Am from Trinidad need to learn about this country
Byzantium is as forever lost as the Kingdom of Troy,
The Culture and Church of Byzantium however are still very much alive. From Greece, the Balkans, Ukraine, Russia to the Bering Strait.

@1:41 “Named Constantinople by the Emperor in 7 BC”?
Since I have seen TV said Kara Para Ask, I'm in poverty with Istanbul and Turkey.
But wonder how come it's so modern in culture despite of major Muslim population.
The city wasn't named Constantinople in 7 BC, it was named Constantinople in 330 AD. How does a documentary get such a basic fact wrong?
