Your narration reminds me the great poet of İstanbul, Orhan Veli. Every single Turkish citizen knows by heart his poem "I'm listening to İstanbul with closed eyes". Your narration, describing İstanbul's unique tranquility in its chaos somehow catches the poet's point.
I AM LISTENING TO ISTANBUL I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed: At first there is a gentle breeze And the leaves on the trees Softly sway; Out there, far away, The bells of water-carriers unceasingly ring; I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed; Then suddenly birds fly by, Flocks of birds, high up, with a hue and cry, While the nets are drawn in the fishing grounds And a woman’s feet begin to dabble in the water. I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed. The Grand Bazaar’s serene and cool, An uproar at the hub of the Market, Mosque yards are full of pigeons. While hammers bang and clang at the docks Spirng winds bear the smell of sweat; I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed; Still giddy from the revelries of the past, A seaside mansion with dingy boathouses is fast asleep. Amid the din and drone of southern winds, reposed, I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed. A pretty girl walks by on the sidewalk: Four-letter words, whistles and songs, rude remarks; Something falls out of her hand - It is a rose, I guess. I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed. A bird flutters round your skirt; On your brow, is there sweat? Or not ? I know. Are your lips wet? Or not? I know. A silver moon rises beyond the pine trees: I can sense it all in your heart’s throbbing. I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
@@sevdadaglar Hi! I 's born overseas- not in Turkiye- studied overseas but still know Orhan Veli. Even one of my teachers at school who has been to Turkiye told me about this poem - she knew the verses.
Şimdiye kadar izlediğim en iyi İstanbul videosu olabilir. Kendi şehrimi bu kadar iyi anlattığınız için teşekkür ederim. Muhteşem çekimler ve şahane anlatım... Soluksuz izledim. Teşekkürler. 👋👋👋👋👋
İm foreigner living in Istanbul for almost three years. Everything is beautiful in Istanbul. But you should try to travel in the black sea regions and center Anatolia. İt's absolutely amazing.❤
As a Turk, I like your video, especially the shots and your music choices, it gives it a nice vibe. I can say that I'm starting to get a bit obsessed about it because other youtubers make really bad music choices for Turkiye. This creates a different image for Turkiye in a bad way.
Oh man, I actually teared up at the end!! You say you're not good with words, but that's not true, you have the loveliest commentary with information on where you are and your own opinion formulated poetically, it feels like I am there too! The sunsets are really incredible there. So dreamy and feels like the center of the world. Really magical. Thank you for sharing, excited about part 2!!
My turkish family migrated to germany over 40 years ago, sometimes I sit and watch others experience my homeland and feel a deep yearning. we didn't visit to turkey in 16 years because of financial reasons, thank you for showing me a part of home
I’ve seen so many Turkey travel videos. Yours is professionally produced and enjoyable to watch. I like that you’re concentrating on the food and destination rather than yourself So many videos are all about the people posing on their channels. Thank you for this 👏
The video, the pictures are all very well done, making this the most beautiful video on Istanbul (I've seen). We are going to visit Istanbul in a couple of months, looking forward to re-tracing your steps. Thank you for sharing!!
Best video ever about Istanbul... Thank you for recording all these beauties. Istanbul deserve being top 1. city for tourists. Paris London New York Pekin Bangkok not even close..
This vlog is definitely my favourite I’ve been researching on Istanbul since 4 years as I want to visit this city since sooo long but never made it to Istanbul due to different reasons every time . But this vlog made me book my ticket rn. Love & Support from Pakistan. ❣️🇵🇰
I love the way you share your love for travel. You share your wonder. That's how I feel when I travel. I was there two years ago and just last month took my mother with me. As Americans, it's not something we usually get to see. It blew my mother away. Istanbul is magical.
Out of all the vlogs about Istanbul this one stands from the crowd! I had the privilege to travel to Istanbul three weeks ago. I visited nearly all the places you visited and yes truly it is 'cinematic'! I still have the images etched in my mind and heart forever!
I'm blown away by your edits! Really love it! I also have a video of my solo trip to Istanbul but my edits are nothing compared to yours. Although I would agree with what you shared in this video -- Istanbul is surreal! It is a good blend of old and new. 😊
Love your travel vlog style! You definitely know how to keep the viewer engaged and you give excellent feedback/comments on your activities! Glad you enjoyed Istanbul, I'll never forget how magical I felt it as a tourist there my first time :)
Perfect narrative! It was the best individual UA-cam video about Istanbul that I've ever watched. I always admire people who respect and showcase the effort behind what they do, no matter what it is. I look forward to watching your other videos as well.
My partner and I discovered your videos a few months ago, and we've been in awe of them ever since. You're truly an expert at both describing and showing the many wonders in the world around you. These videos are such a treat! Also, you really do have a way with words. Thank you for sharing such beautiful sights. Wishing you both safe travels!
What a nice video, very well done! I was captivated by your cinematography. The itinerary was also quite good for a four-day trip. Godspeed! Well, normally you wouldn't put bulghur into the lavash wrap. Just the meat itself in lavash is perfectly fine. If you want, you can also complement the meat with just a little bit of onions with sumac and some parsley. If you also think of adding some tomato and pepper in there, just order a kebab wrap instead. In general, you should buy simit from bakeries, not from the street vendors. Simit is only good when it's fresh and you are much more likely to find a fresh simit in a bakery. There, you can also find the other, softer "bakery style simit" in addition to the "street style simit".
Amazing ! Deserving of millions of followers ! You're one smart traveler! Going to Turkey soon - Istanbul, Ankara, Cappadocia Antalya (Pamukale), Izmir (Home of Mother Mary too). Thank you ! ❤ I always say - use social media to learn and be better and do travel research !
Absolutely stunning even for me as a local. The way you brought all your experiences is even better, without any exaggeration of anything. Thank you :)
Thank you very much for visiting our country and our people. I hope you are satisfied. Hope to see you and valuable travelers like you in better days.❤❤
Been there last September. You could still visit the Hagia Sophia for free. This was nice, cause we’ve been inside four times that week. Just to sit and enjoy the history
I genuinely believe that your channel is the most underrated travel channel on UA-cam! Hope will get the recognition it deserves! Well done 👏🏻 Love it 🥰
I randomly came across your video. But i have to say, fantastic work! You catched the vibe of our pearl of a city magnificently. Gained a sub and a thumbs up bro.
I never really comment on videos, but I just have to say that your cinematography and video production is absolutely incredible. You should be proud and we are happy to subscribe!!!
I am a little conservative about subscribing to new channels, but immediately subscribed after seeing the first video. I would like to see more of these beautiful shots and telling from around the world, thank you Also I am happy that you liked my city, I think it is a special place where it reflects every corner of the world combined together
Loved how you portrayed the beauty of Istanbul in a cinematic yet breathtaking memoir. Definitely looking forward to watching your other videos and more to come in the future!
Wow. Your narration is outstanding… The way you capture and describe the city makes me want to go back to Istanbul.When you said: “ I had the privilege to say,I was here” made me cry. Thank you very much
Öylesine keşfetimde denk geldiğim bir video. İstanbul gerçekten çok güzel anlatılmış. Emeğiniz ve bu güzel video için teşekkür ederiz. Türkiye'den bu videoyu izleyen herkese sevgiler!! ❤
Your video is probably the best I've ever seen made on this great city. Your verbal depictions are so beautiful and your photography is magnificent... Congratulations!!!...
Hi brother, you need at least 10 days for Istanbul, 4 days not enough :) Asian side, Prince Islands, Kadikoy, Uskudar, Kuzguncuk, Camlica hill so many... you should come back again!
There is something I loved about the city of istanbul that i cannot put a finger on or how to express it but you've captured it so beautifully with the cinematography, lighting, color of this video. THANK YOU. This is amazing work.
Amazing video and great discretion off the city. Every time I sit at the Bosphorus, everything doesn't exist for a moment. Total peace and feeling 'home'.
This is not a travel vlog, it is a documentary!!!!! Well done.
Absolute Cinema 👏
The quality of this video is unreal. I've been watching a few (quite a few) and it's really so professional 🌸
IF all the video footage is your own then wow!
omg even the music is so well tied into what's happening. I don't know how you find the time to get that right ... O.O
I love Turkey so much! Turkiye has always been the East of the West and the West of the East. it's so exotic

Cinematic: perfect word to describe this city; I felt like I was in a movie there. Found that same menemen spot via TripAdvisor.
The shot of the men praying in haggia sofia made me so emotional
Agree - Such a beautiful shot!
Yes, me too, soo beautiful and emotional, thank you for the amazing shot🙌 Hi from 🇮🇩
