People in Turkey are so friendly 🙏🤗. Best 10 minutes, I enjoyed a lot. Thanks!

[@TheAdventurousBen]

You’re not wrong. Before we got to Turkey, when people were friendly we said “they dig us”, but in Turkey we joked that “they’re excavating us” because the people were so awesome.

Great video, looks like a great trip!

[@TheAdventurousBen]

Thank you. Yes it was pretty special:)

[@jordanchastaing997]

Hi Ben, really cool videos! I'm planning to do a trip from Istanbul to Sinop along the black sea coast, do you have any advice to share? Thanks :)

[@TheAdventurousBen]

Hey Jordan, thanks so much 🙏
My trip was way back in 2013 so I'm not sure how useful I can be with specifics, but I'd definitely recommend camping out - we had some incredible camp spots along the coast (some of them in the video), never got any hassle etc.
The buses were also pretty good IIRC, in case you want to ride it one way and take the fast way back.

[@jordanchastaing997]

@@TheAdventurousBen Oh indeed it's been 10 years! Anyway it's cool to have feedbacks as it is not the most popular area to ride bikes. I think we'll alternate between camp spots and airbnb. So no problem to put the bike in a bus? Thanks a lot 😃

@@jordanchastaing997 yes it wasn’t a problem they fitted them into the cargo hold. I can’t remember if we paid extra to take the bike but if so it wasn’t a lot.
Sounds like a good trip!

The Adventurous B3n Hahah yes 😂 frankly, I'm more sorry for your bike, not for the child

looks like switzerland

[@TheAdventurousBen]

I'll have to take your word for it but either way it's beautiful. Turkey was way more 'lush' that I expected!
