    As a Turk who has been living in London for 3 years, I can say that the video explained the pros and cons of Turkey almost perfectly. It could even be said you were merciful about dislikes. Although the Turks are polite and respectful to tourists, they don't treat their citizens in the same way. Pollution can be seen in the same frame. While people keep their homes perfectly clean (maybe the best in the world), they leave the streets and nature littered with rubbish. It's nothing but selfishness and disrespect for others.

Bu, Türkiye'de siyasetin, eğitimin, toplumun ve çevrenin gittikçe bozulduğunun, temizlik, düzen ve görgü kurallarından uzaklaşıldığının göstergesi. Oldukça nesnel ve gerçekçi bir video olmuş.

      Hi teacher, Mick and Trudie. 😊 I watched this video and agree with the things that you likes and dislikes. Additionally, I want to mention something I dislike. Firstly, I hate smoking, especially at bus stops and on the pavement. Secondly, although Turkish people usually use public transportation, their behavior is so disrespectful in queues. Thirdly, I agree with you about music. When I enter a shop and the music is too loud, I leave without buying anything. Speaking of my loved ones, I love street cats. In my view, they all represent our country. Despite some negativity in what I say, I love my country. Consequently, I wish a humane and quality life for all people.

    I live in a small village across the river from Dalyan where my wife and I built a village style house years go. Recently they added ferry service across the river from Dalyan which has increased traffic flow through the village. A small harbor in the village now attracts outsiders/tourists that cross the river to have 'Instagram" moments at this idyllic spot. Every morning I walk from the house on the road that leads to the harbor and the volume of rubbish has increased substantially. I can identify the rubbish as being that of these visitors from the fact it consists of water bottles/beer bottles/cans, snack wrappers and plastic bags from the market. It is not household rubbish containing coffee grounds/egg shells and the like. It is obvious that it the exact trash created while in a car on vacation. This makes me insanely angry when one considers the incredible beauty of this little paradise. Only subhumans could dump all this rubbish here and drive away and leave all over the ground. I do beleive if I ever witness one of these pigs in the act of this behavior i will completely lose it and smash out their headlights/talilights and windows. It is such incredible ignorant behavior. Every day I take plastic bags on my walk and fill several. Things seemed to get better for a while but now the same old swine behavior is back. Other than that I love this country and it's people.

    I think Turkey's problem is education. If they could improve the level of education a little more, Türkiye would be a much different place. I've been there many times. People are very nice, very helpful, very friendly. The agenda in Turkey is changing incredibly fast. It is really a very active country. They are a very emotional nation. They are very energetic (or maybe it just seemed that way to me because I am an extremely calm person 😊). They are very proud of their history. They love their country very much. The city I was in was one of the most developed cities in Turkey. Kocaeli. Many of the problems described here did not exist. But as you go down to the south of Turkey, you start to experience what is described. Türkiye is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. For now, my dream is to move to Turkey when I retire. Let's see what time will tell 🙂

    Some tips;
    1- Be careful with taxis, use the "bitaksi" application.
    2- Use long buses, small minibuses are not good in big cities.
    3- If you enter a shop for the first time, be sure of the price when purchasing a product.
    4- If you encounter a bad incident, take audio and video recordings. Just call the police and they will definitely help you if you are right.
    5- There are bad people in every country. But good people are in the vast majority in Turkey. Turks like to help. For this reason, if you ask someone for help, they will definitely do it.
    And you can tell “I’m Tourist” Tourist is important for Turkish People, we are tourism country, you should tell it if you need.

    The worst here if you're a driver is the horrendous traffic and the excellent, cheap and very frequent public transport is completely packed, Japanese style at rush hours.
    The image of Turkey amongst so many is a travesty and I for one, work with many Armenians here. That's not supposed by many to be possible! But I've never evidenced any fuss at all. People are far more tolerant and respectful of others than in many places I know.

    From my point of view and as a Turk, i believe that our major problem is that we are disrespectful towards our own citizens, even to ourselves. This disrespectful behaviors cause people unfollowing the traffic rules, increasing pollution and so much more. People in here have to learn to respect at first towards themselves, then to the others.

    Living in a small village, in Ortaca, the only loud music we get is from weddings. We often go to the beaches, in Sarigerme, and Dalaman, and they are clean, and no music. Also they're cheap, compared to other resorts, possibly because they're run by the council, (Belediye). One place I would reccomend visiting, is the kukurt near Dalaman airport. It's beautiful, clear waters, and mud that makes your skin smooth. It has disabled access to the cafe, and toilets, and costs 10tl 30p, entrance. In the main I agree with your comments, although in our area, I've never heard about anyone being attacked by dogs, and nobody smokes inside restaurants, they sit outdoors if they want a cigarette.

There is no perfect place. Every country comes with its pros/cons but, I think everyone should experience the another geography. I wasn't aware how much we are lucky when I was in Türkiye. Now, feeling grateful more than ever when I visit.
    I literally agree with all the likes/dislikes you've listed here. Well done for such a nice explanation.

On the otger hand, you are right about the negatives, I am afraid....I don't smoke and hate having to stay at home and not be able to go out at all because of the smoking. And the amount of 'noise' which sometimes cannot even resemblle music does pollute places where you would like to hear just the sound of wind and waves. The pollution, and ciggarette buts definitely a problem. And the dog packs... I hope we can find a 'humane' solution...because stray animals are part of our community.

    I first visited Turkey 14 years ago (Antalya) and fell completely in love with the country; the people, the food, the ancient history, the scenery. My last holiday was visiting Istanbul, 2 years ago now and I was blown away by it. The Hagia Sofia had been on my bucket list since I was a child and it's my favourite building. When I returned, I bought a book about the founding of ancient Byzantium/Constantinople/Istanbul. The city has had so much turmoil. If the walls of the Hagia Sofia could talk, what a tale they would tell ! I've loved watching your videos and think they're very considered and unbiased and a really good guide for someone who has never been to Turkey. Like yourselves, we hated so much smoking and littering. Egypt was the same which spoiled our forays into the countryside. So much beauty spoiled by stinking piles of litter.

Really sad because it was beautiful up there. Hopefully one day I'll go back. I love watching your videos; they are so informative. Thank you❣️

    I just returned from a couple weeks in Turkey and I would mention the inflated prices were higher than we thought. The Turkey tax was sure noticeable when travelling solo vs with a guide at restaurants and cafes in. We walked out of multiple restaurants for not posting prices even in menus to discover asking $25usd for a drink. I was lucky enough to know this trick, but imagine many others don't.

    Loved the video Mick & Trudie, we too have lived here a long time and consider Turkey as our home, it’s so beautiful and friendly. One of our dislikes is the ‘multi-tier pricing system’ they have here. It happens in a great many establishments depending on where you are and who you are, things will be priced either higher or lower. I personally don’t think it’s fair that certain establishments should exploit people in this way.
