The more of your Turkish videos I watch, the more I want to go and explore the country 🙂
Could your words be true or just a fancy day dream ?!...
@@ahmedalshalchi Strange questioning.
@@selcukcilek555 In the English language literature it is called rhetorical question , meaning you reply with a statement in a form of a question and not to question it mainly ...
@@ahmedalshalchi I've got your point but still not convinced that it is a good example of a rhetorical question.
Nevertheless thanks for your response.
my exact sentiments!
We call that a snow fence in Pennsylvania. It helps contain drifting snow.
Wow! There is such a diversity of landscape in Turkey. The landscapes are so lovely; they remind me a bit of Wyoming (but greener) and lots of glacial till. I love that goose is the regional food. And the people, as seems to be typical of Turkey, are so warm and friendly. Awesome video.
Thank you very much!
Even though Turkey is in Mediterranean region, east side of Turkey has elevation like 1.5-2 KMs from sea level due to the tectonic activity I guess. So elevation changes everything dramatically.

This is just so inspirational….we leave our jobs in March next year and start travelling with our van. Turkey has always been high on the list of places we want to go….and your videos are just confirming it….can’t wait! Wonderful to watch and lovely to see the culture and people…love it.
Ahh thank you for your kind words and so pleased you enjoy our videos - you will LOVE Turkey - it really is a magical place - happy travels
I am always amazed how nice the roads are in Turkey. Better than many here in the U. S. with all the pot holes. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Love all those happy cows too 👍😀❤
Yeah.
You can thank Erdogan .. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We also have universal healthcare, free access to higher education and 112 day paid pregnancy leave. I wonder how US cannot afford all of these despite being far richer.
@@molenini and half of the country is on minimum wage, 15% unemployed, insanely corrupted bureaucracy... i wonder how the U.S can't afford :)) how about you?
When we used to discuss holidays at work I used to be asked why I always went to the same place i.e. Turkey,I said because it wasn't the same place as all over Turkey was so very different from the last.Such a fantastic country.❤️
Last week they found a new Zeus temple near the antique city Magnesia... It's one of the best preserved Zeus Temple...imagine that.😍🧿🤯
This was an epic Vlog... you guys are the talk of the Turkish community in USA... thanks again showing our great country to the world...
Thank you 🙌 When we get there we hope to have a cup of çay !! love from Turkey !! 🌺😉👍
That was amazing ! the more you stay there the more you uncover the delights of Turkey !
We agree!
Thank you Chris and Marion for yet another wonderful video! You are showing what a wonderful country Turkey really is. The people are so friendly! How could you ever want to live back in the UK after all this! Stunning!
Home is where the family is 🌺. But as travel vloggers we get to see the most amazing places for sure xx
Gürcistandaki yolları gördükten sonra Türkiye cidden cennet gibi :)
Çinli şirket yapıyormuş yada daha doğrusu yapamıyormuş o yolu!! Bize vermiyorlar hele lira bu kadar düşmüşken gidip çinli şirkete veriyorlar biraz hak ediyorlar hani..
Aynen… ta Kars’in koyleri bile Gurcistan dan iyi…
Aynen valla 👍🙏😂
Yet another amazing video. Turkey just has it all, the food, scenery, and wonderful hospitality.
Keep on enjoying your adventures.
Peace & love
Thank you! Will do!
Always fantastic hospitality in Turkey 👍
We agree!
I am so glad that, after all your time spent in Turkey, it is still impresses you. Showing you how beautiful and fresh it is.
Turkey has quite a unique and diverse landscape with exceptional flora and fauna. thank you for highlighting areas where tourist fail to visit, as there are so many hidden gems the world needs see and know about.........for this.....Turkey owes you a huge gratitude
Also for tapping into a new market of Caravaning / motorhoming / camping around Turkey. When it comes to these , Turkey was never in the radar, but thanks to you, you will be the catalyst for a whole new genre of holidaying in Turkey.
one again........Thank you being such good ambassadors for Turkey
Hi Orhan - thanks for spending your Sunday with us - Turkey really is amazing and so varied we have loved the time we have spent here. It's a pleasure to share our adventures with the world and hope to encourage others to step out of their comfort zones. I really do think Turkey will be the next go to van / karavan destination.
wtf Turkey, sometimes ireland, sometimes italy, sometimes switzerland, what a diverse country but
Dünyadaki cennet benim ülkem.
That is true , Turkey has got many different landscapes , weather conditions , you can live 4 seasons in Turkey , every region of Turkey has got different charms , seas , mountains , rivers , waterfalls , canyons , valleys , sweet fruits , vegetables , foods , beautiful restaurants , traditional souvenir shops , history , you can find everything , we are Turks are very lucky as we have got such a beautiful country.
Bir de doğamızı, ülkemizi temiz tutmaya önem versek.
This is not Turkey, it's Kurdistan.
@@yadokurdistani9732 , go on dreaming , Kurds lived as tribes in history , that is all but Turkey has established many states in history , Turkish history and culture is very special and full of victories , everywhere of Turkey is Türkiye according to Turkish constitution , Turkish flag is everwhere in Turkey , official language of Turkey is Turkish and Turkish is spoken everywhere in Turkey and it will be like this forever , you seperatist Kurds or Kurds in Iraq stop day dreaming trusting to emperialists.
Preparation for the winter. Snowbreakers. We also have them in Germany.
Thanks for the info 👍
oh boy, loved seeing this... My friend, Ahmet I had planned to travel all the north and eastern part of Turkey the Summer of '03 but a tragic death in the family changed our plans.. we never made it... looking forward to seeing more of your eastern travels..
There is similar fencing here in the states to keep the wind from blowing the snow heavily onto the roads. I was reading about goose meat and it's very high in protein and a good vitamin B source as well as other vitamins. Loved seeing those birds of prey, a bird watcher's paradise. You find some of the nicest family run restaurants on your travels and how nice to be given a little concert as well. I was watching one of my favorite TV cooking shows yesterday and of all things, he was showing how to make gozleme. I'm going to have to try making a gluten free version some day. Loved my Sunday video today, thanks you two!
Thanks for the info Adele xx
Wow, Turkey is spectacular :) Great video....love seeing you interacting with the locals and learning about their culture. Fascinating:)
Thank you! 😃
Nowhere beets the Turkish hospitality it's amazing part of that landscape reminds me of Scottish islands fab video guys xx
Thanks Margaret
What a dream :) lovely people :)It reminds me of summer days driving to the beach and the smell of the summer .You meet such sweet people along the way and so welcoming. The views are amazing and that castle was ....im speechless . M x
It is such a fabulous region and the roads are dreamy .... views to blow your mind and of course new friends along the way - M xx 🌺🤗
Thats was spectacular! Pristine. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of the world with us couch potatoes . Look forward to spreading our wings again next year🤞
Glad you enjoyed it! And delighted you are still with us Linda xx
Lovely film 🎥 and buzzard shots 🤠😍
Thank you - but those pesky buzzard birds kept moving !! LOL
I dare anyone to visit Turkey and not fall in love with it. What a country
Another FANTASTIC journey, LOVED every moment.
The fence was a Snow Fence. We have them here in the North of Scotland to help keep the Snow off the roads.
Does not always work though😂🤣😂
Safe onward travels. Looking forward to the Train Journey.
🏴🏴🏴❤️
Ahh thanks Patty glad you enjoyed it - and thanks for the info on the snow fence 😀
Kars my hometown💚🇹🇷Even though I live in another city of my country, I go to my hometown every summer. because I miss his nature so much. I'm glad you came, welcome, we look forward to seeing you again.It was wonderful to see it through the eyes of a foreigner🥰
As always, Marianne is right. Snow fence. You need a few gaps so it doesn’t get blown over. And come to Minnesota….lots of geese and people hunt and eat them. And -30 in the winter! 🥶
The Turkish people are so welcoming😊
Actually, this fence has several purposes.
-Preventing wild animals suddenly running into the road asppecially wild hourses and bears. so, in the dark safer for drivers and wild animals.
-snow / wind / dust breaker , sometimes strong wind or snowstrom owerturn the trucks because of geographical situation of this road.
-prevent the road from freezing in winter. Not %100 but helps.
Ahhh thank you for the info 🙏😀
well explained
Loving these videos. Turkeys so interesting. Every town is just so unique yet so similar. You duck into somewhere different and you just find generations old shops, history and ofcoarse receipies
Glad you like them!
Wow amazing views again.
Oh I love your video on long road trip to Karz. Itmust be tiring, yet fun.God bless, stay safe!
• The amazing Turkey 🇹🇷
• Drone is essential
• Marianne best driver 🚍
• Chris need good shave 🪒
• Be ready for winter ❄️
You should have walked up to that castle! I was there last summer. The view was spectacular.
20:11 Hoş gelişler ola Mustafa Kemal paşa...🇹🇷
Chris, those fences are placed to protect the roads not to become icy during the winter times as Northern part of Turkey has heavy and hard winter times.
My goodness, those views are just stunning! Thank you for sharing your travel experiences -- an absolute pleasure to watch.
I worked in the places you visited and showed for 4 years. Believe me, I was not aware of these beauties. Thank you. Good luck to you..
If that's a real calssic Hohner, he's got quite a little treasure in his hands.
Do not forget to get 'Zincir''. Wheel chains for when he snow comes. Lived in Bolu between Arakara and Istanbul for 7 years building the motorway. 3 miles of bridges and tunnels. November snows can catch you out big time.
Some wild horses in Brecon beacons.
Now THAT was amazingly interesting and you meet such lovely people too!! ☺ Oh, and the food makes me HUNGRY!
We love you so much! God bless you! 🧿🙏🥰✌🍺💕
I am from Ardahan I am so happy to see you here Chris and Marianne!
I been flowing you since the beginning of your journey!!!!
Just to let you know Ardahan is much colder than Quebec or Ontario.
We have very harsh winter here,
Lake Cildir completly freezes and people ice fish in the lake :)
The fish is VERY tasty it tastes more like chicken!
Our village is incredibly rich with bird population,
182 different bird species lives here this place is a bird watchers heaven!!!
Also we got registered 600 hundred endemic flowers and plantation just specific to this region.
Since , our cows graze freely this is why their meat
and the dairy products produced from them are very good quality!
Almost no farming as a result no pesticide use, so the land is pristine and very clean .
Goose is a delicacy here in Kars , people prefer cured goose meat over cow or lamb meat!
Before cutting the animal they force feed the bird with walnut then cut and buried under snow!
I hope you enjoyed your stay and safe travel ! 🙏🧿🙏🧿🙏🧿🙏🧿
Doğası çok güzelmiş , bende ummuyordum bu kadar , biz Türker bile kendi ülkemizin her yerini gezmiş , tanımış değiliz ne yazık ki , bu İngiliz çift o yönden çok şanslı , bizden daha çok gezdiler güzel ülkemizin her yerini.
@@canparem2710 Evet maalesef kiymet bilen insanlar degiliz cok aci :(
Kisin en guzel kayak yapabileceginiz yerlerden biridir ayni zamanda.
Yurt disinda da bir cok yerde

Another gem the changing landscape,some wonderful people,food yum,stay safe love from Alfoquia Spain Carola and Terry 😊❤️
🤗 Thanks Terry - we are loving the new scenery and diversity of the landscapes on the East of Turkey
I'm glad I found this channel
Amazing scenery, mesmerizing country. Thank you for your sharing this beautiful country with us.
Infrastructure much better in Turkey, even in those remotes areas. Good for Trudy😅❤👍
those white fences were built to prevent snow from coming into the highway when it snows 👍👍
20:12 Elinize sözünüze saglik! Tesekkür ederim!
You are welcome
Video harika olmuş.Akordion çalan amcamında sesine sağlık.
For roads there are windbreaks. They are snow breaks to protect the road from snow storms, after snowfall they clean the roads and breaks stops the wind from re snowing the roads
Snowbreakers! So lovely landscape 😍
Süper very nice video thank you so much sweet family
Thank you so much 😊
That is so exiting, Good luck with your adventure. Stay safe.
Look's like you two having fun in Turkey have a safe trip good luck I like the video's thanks
Thank you !!

Fav!
The fences next to the road are snow fences, you may already know. Thanks for the wonderful videos! Greetings from Finland!
Thanks for the info!
Looks like Turkey is missing out on Mountain Biker tourism. That scenery looks prime for tracks, courses and race competitions. Great video as always.
Loving this!!
Great Video! My wife and I lived in Trabzon for 4 months in 2020. North eastern Turkey is beautiful thank you for showing everyone.
You were right Chris. Windbreak to stop soil erosion :)
Be happy friend
Hi guys. I believe it is snow fence. If the snow falls - well it is not flling then - horizontally with a heavy wind it tends to build dunes like the sank in the desert. And when you as high as you are they must have snow there some times.
It's a snow fence to prevent drifting onto the road.
Kars is such a wonderful city, we loved our time in there.
Geese on the road great film stay safe x
Thanks John
Just found your channel.. you’re such an inspiring and loving couple. My mom and I love you guys.
We are Turkish family living in Denmark - and oh how we missed Konya! And of course Turkey it self.
We just appreciate that you are showing of these beautiful part of Turkey that giving us some ideas where to go next time and explore it as well.
Thank you and stay safe
🌸🌸
Wow - thank you so much - we have been travelling and sharing videos of Turkey for over 18 months we hope you enjoy all the videos and share them with your friends - and of course subscribe !! Woo Hoo
Beautiful scenery - looks like Switzerland and bearing in mind the temperature it gets to in winter it’s covered in snow in winter months. That’s probably what the white fencing is by the road: for the snow. You guys went there at the right time. Interesting to see all the food there pickled in jars so they have enough stock to get through during the winter. Lovely place - thanks for showing the Artvin and Kars region to the world xxx
You are welcome - we loved it here !
I wish myself to escape from Slovenia to beautiful Turkey. What I like is that your videos show magnificent landskape of Turkey. I wish you all the best. Görüşürüz
Enjoy
Türkiye mizin doğudan batıya her yeri güzeldir..İyi yolculuklar.
Dear Chris we call fences "snow fences". In winter time Eastern Turkey receives heavy snow. And if it snows with wind the snov accumulates on the road. To prevent this, they build these fences. :)
Hi Chris and Marion, When it comes to tourists in Turkey, it is mostly understood that they are constructive tourism. In fact , many Turks have been making visits to this region in recent years. Especially by train. I didnt been, but it is similar to Scotland in your country. Have a safe journey
Another fabulous journey with spectacular scenery thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Jane - thanks for watching 🙏😀
Guys, I saw your van on Istanbul D-100 road and then I searched for your channel and I loved your videos. I hope you get more subs.
Hi The Eko - that is so sweet and kind - thanks for the Sub xx 🌺
snow fence ❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️
Thanks 🙏👍
Very nice vlog again. Splendid views, wow
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely country ☺️
Hi i really liked Kars . Passed on my way from Georgia and Armenia, Beautiful places nature and friendly people,
stay in Turkey do not leave it !! you are citizen of Turkey now too!!! Amazing videos recorded as a BBC documentaries..
Very nice video
Hi there! Greetings from Idaho, USA. I love your channel. I am amazed how much of Turkey, excluding the ocean coast, reminds me of Idaho, and Wyoming, and parts of Utah.
Those odd fences you were asking about look like snow fences, used to keep snow from drifting across roads in drift prone areas.
By the way, goose meat is excellent. It reminds me of Roast Beef. It is dark meat, fine grained and lean.
Enjoy!
Thank you very much!
I think they are snow barriers. They are barriers made to prevent the road from being blocked in snowstorms in winter.
Emeğinize sağlık
Teşekkürler 😀
That castle !!! Awesome video
Another travel vlog masterpiece! Special thanks for taking us with you to Seytan Kalesi.
which ever direction you in turkey you will see somewhere stunning
Turkey is a beautiful place
Snow fence, mainly against the prevailing wind, to stop the road being overwhelmed by drifts. Great vids. Not unusual to see the geese, as little known fact is that, at lower heights they explode due to differential pressure.
hey iam from holland ,everyday i am looking for your trip i love tukeye, wonderful thank you for the beautiful films ,gr yvonne
So remote. Going beyond and above the normal vanlifers trail.
Artvin Ardahan and Kars are the middle earth of this planet.
Teşekkür ederim
what a vlog
Stunning scenery, local traditional food, plus a musical serenade.......what not to like?!!!
Thank you for showing us all the beatiful palaces in this beautiful lonely country. It's a joy to travel with you. Love you guys.
Thanks Dilek 🌺👍
10:53 Bu kış Bolu da -32 dereceye düştü bir gece. Ama soğuk diye yazın gezmeye gelmeyin, tüm güzel manzarayı kaçırırsınız. Bolu'nun mevsimi sonbahar.
thank so much marrianne and chris this best vlog good day best life god bless you....
Thank you too
4:15 windbreaks for snow
Thanks for the info 🙌
I love this episode...
Kars güzel bir şehir
