Where are you from?
Ayran is yoghurt with salt and water.This drink,drink people from Turkey to the ,i think,Afghanistan. :)
U guys are so confused ..calling the blue mosque this one and that one ..all mosques have names in Istanbul so if u want to make a proper video pls make it properly and a concise one ..waste of time this one ..pls check how others have made great videos on Istanbul ..they don’t go pointing this one and that one 😅😅
They did a good job at restoring the Hagia Sophia… Back in 1996, it was all covered in scaffolding for restoration. And yes, those images of Christian saints are definitely Byzantian, not islamic.
Ve evet şu an islam askerleri fetih yaptı ve onu camiye çevirerek islama kazandırdı
And the kitties are always the BEST part of every video! I hear they really take good care of them in Turkey
Yeah all the stray dogs and and cats that we have seen are in really good condition. The dogs all have tags on their ears so it seems they are managing them in some sort of way.
@@alkyoni9891 lol you're thinking some other Asian countries, as in, South Pacific. People in muslim countries are not generally known for such culinary excesses.
I'm so happy you have visited Turkey. We just moved here from the UK a month ago and are excited to see the country.
We will be travelling the country this year. We hope you love it as much as we do.
Re image of Mary in the mosque- the Virgin Mary is the only woman mentioned in the Quran and she is held in high esteem as is the Virgin Birth. Jesus is also recognized as a prophet and messenger from God as are others from the Old Testament.
I loved this video.The Blue Mosque was quite amazing.So much history in Istanbul and so green and pretty in the areas you visited.Really crazy to see the obelisk that came from the temple in Egypt that you recently visited! I love history.
I'm so happy for you guys that your channel has grown to a quarterMil! Thank you for keeping me company since the beginning of the pandemic 💜
Thank you so much!
Me too, they deserve it for sure, and we are lucky to have them making vids at such a high standard. 👍
@@markclayton626 yes, 100%! Their quality of videos is spectacular. And through the growth of their channel they remain as humble and personable as in the beginning! Such lovely humans 😍
Stunning! Istanbul is one of the places that I want to visit. The food looked amazing also. Thanks!
Hello from beautiful and historical Istanbul just one correction it is not a river it is Marmara Sea Golden Horn. You can visit Besiktas, Bebek, Emirgan (Europe Side), Kadıkoy, Kuzguncuk, Anadoluhisarı (Asian Side) and Prince Islands. Have a nice trip.
Yes they call it a strait I think, didn’t know what to call it at the time 😁
Full of culture and history. Amazing Istanbul. Thank you for sharing your experiences
Our pleasure!
Full of greek culture and history.
@@Olympicspirit 😂 history of greeks getting kicked out of Istanbul twice lmao
@@Olympicspirit keep crying 😂😂
I love Turkey. Lived there for 2 years.
Nice where abouts?
Hiya, thank you for the lovely tour around. Another country. I would have never thought to visit. Beautiful, impressive architecture. The food looked tasty. Enjoyable video. The cats are so cute. Thank you for sharing. Happy Thursday.
Glad you enjoyed it, hope your having a great week :D
@@JumpingPlaces Yes, Thank you. :D
Have a great weekend, 28 here right now. We are actually having a heatwave. 34/35 next week. WoHooooo. :D
What a city! Cats have lived there a long time! There's a really good movie, "Kedi", about the cats of Istanbul!!!
Great to see that you are in Turkey, one of my favorite countries... Love the food, people and cultural sites! Be sure to check out the Hafız Mustafa sweetshops in Istanbul. They have fantastic treats!! Hard to resist!
Thank you
Fantastic episode with gorgeous views of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace by the beautiful Bosphorus! I enjoyed every second of it, can't wait to return to Istanbul. Remember cat documentary film Kedi, cats are everywhere in Istanbul 😻😻😻
Glad you enjoyed it 👍 not only Istanbul, cats are everywhere on Turkey it seems 😁
Greetings Chris and Carol, looks like quite an adventure! Definitely looking at the video of Hagia Sophia makes me go there in the future. The sound on the loudspeaker is not the prayers but the call to prayers "Azan", signaling prayers are about to start.
We absolutely love Istanbul so we were very pleased you decided to head over there. Our son lives in Istanbul and we are visiting there again in a few months and just can’t wait to be back there. You will love the Grand Bazaar! Also check out Taksim Square, Istiklal Caddesi and Galata Tower and I highly recommend a boat tour on the Bospherous. Love watching your videos!
Grand bazaar, Galata tower and the boat tour is coming up in the next video 😁
Actually istiklal and taksim will also be in the next video. Everything that you mentioned haha
@@JumpingPlaces wonderful!…. Our son is a great tour guide, we just let him take us to all the best places. 😜
I've been watching some of your older videos and thought I'd mention how relaxed and talkative Carol has become over the years. I really appreciate having both of you talk and give opinions. So good job. Love watching your videos
Istanbul is really a beautiful and ancient city, the Blue Mosque is really spectacular!
Their kebabs look delicious and the desserts makes my mouth water!
You are very suitable to be a historian, I really like to hear you say historical stories, thank you for sharing! 👍😄🙌
Blue Mosque is a barbaric copy of Ayia Sophia just 900 years later !!!
@@skatiarhs007 LOL are you greek? such a miserable and hateful..
Welcome to Türkiye! You should definitely visit southern part especially Antalya and Mugla. You will love it.
heading there!
Istanbul rocks, and Turkish Airlines is absolutely amazing (or at least it was in 2017 and 2018)! Enjoy!
Thanks

Fella how did you miss the chance to see İstanbul Archeology Museum, so close to Topkapı Palace and great work of art in it with amazing, calming view. Maybe next time. By the way awesome vlog you are doing. I'm glad to see you around my city. You must Visit Marmaris, Antalya (Adrasan, Kaş, Olympos, Kabak), Datça and so on. Take care.
I was there just last month. What an amazing city it is; full of beauty, history and wonderful architecture ❤
Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind, and fills your life with stories to tell.
Very nice video guys, as usual!
I way recommend you to go to Kaş, I spent around a month with my girlfriend over there and we fell in love with that small town, the people and the food is amazing.
Keep enjoying the life ✌🏼 hello from a Mexican traveler
KALKAN, just up the road from Kas, it much nicer :-)
I loved this intro to Turkey. Hope you can find time and consider visiting some of - Ephesus, Pamukkale, or Mt Ararat
Another country added to your touring. Lots of history there. Food looked delicious. Looking forward to more Turkey sights.
So HAPPY for you to go see Turkey. We only spent 4 fascinating days in Istanbul & Cappadocia. Can't wait to see where else you go so we can follow. We love your travels, your channel, and your takes! Wishing you LOADS of continuing success! Cheers!
Cappadocia vids coming soon 👍
You definitely have to try a food tour while in Istanbul.
As is well known, Constantinople is named after the city that was originally called Byzantium. Byzantium, in turn, is the ancient Greek city, whose inhabitant was Byzas from Megara. Byzas, before starting the research for the establishment of his colony, visited the oracle of Delphi, to ask for the necessary oracle on the most suitable place for colonization. The oracle, as usual, gave him a dark oracle instructing Byzantium to build the new city in the "land of the blind".
Byzas after many wanderings found himself on the shores of the Bosphorus and sat down on a hill to rest and think further. Suddenly, he saw on the opposite side, on the European coast, an amazing location today's Constantinople, and he thought: "But, are people blind and do not build a city in this amazing place?". Then the oracle of the oracle about the "land of the blind" came to his mind and thus he decided to colonize Byzantium. That's according to mythology.
Yes, flying horses and even Medusa, whose head is full of snakes, I think lived in Greece. Istanbul was never Greek, if you learn the history from the right sources, you will see that it was a fabrication in Byzantium.
@@soruyyorum I agree with what you wrote. They base Western civilization on false Greek myths. Even if we accept this as true, we will ignore the history 2000 thousand years ago. The Egyptian civilization is much older, but what they say cannot be done, only aliens did it. What do you expect from people who only see themselves as superior?
The Christian icon you saw was from when it was a Church.The Ottomans would plaster over the icons when turning it into a mosque.They later exposed them again when it was a museum and they recently turned it back into a functioning mosque.
Istanbul was great I stayed there short three days but it was jam-packed saw most of the landmarks on Bosphorus cruise, had night time dinner on Bosphorus cruise enjoined their live music. I enjoyed Seven Hill resturant great for taking pictures and videos and arround most of the landmarks if you walking on foot. I didn't go to the grand Blazar I didn't fancy buying anything. Enjoyed Turkish hammam and their tea 😍. Overall it was wonderful I loved their shisha lounges and the fact the city was lively all hours.
Hello Chris and Carol, thank you for sharing your wonderful beautiful journey through Istanbul, Turkey, it’s so nice. Thank you.
Wow, beautiful and impressive architecture. Thanks for the tour 😊 Looking forward to the next video 😊
Coming soon 👍
It’s so Gorgeous! I am speechless! Thanks so much 🙏
A really excellent video. Enjoyed the Byzantine and Ottoman history. The stadium at the beginning where the fountain was looks like an entrance. Bosphorus Strait is between Europe and Asia. Turkey regulates ships into Black Sea, so got nato membership but not eu.
So happy for you guys! Loved Istanbul & Izmir!
Teşekkür 👍
I absolutely love traveling virtually with you lovely, charming humans! 🥰 You present such a peaceful perspective on what I'm sure is a hectic experience at times. 🤣 I'm also so appreciative that you actually do some research on the places you're visiting, and know what you're talking about. Sadly, that's a bit rare on UA-cam. You are also such a great team, and that reminds us of how such adventurous travel is possible. I hope you are having as much fun as we are being with you in these amazing places! Out if curiosity, what do you use as your gimbal / primary video setup. We tried the DJI OM5 and iPhone 13 but are always fighting the gimbal. Thanks again for a wonderful adventure!
Thank you for the running commentaries Chris. Carol helps too. 💕
Welcome to Türkiye! I just saw your Türkiye videos. I will watch my country with your comments. Enjoy paradise.
Best travel channel on UA-cam period .
So glad that you took our advice to go visit Turkey. I'll love to see your perspective. I hope you find it as fascinating and magical as it is. Ruled under 3 empires. Crib of human civilization and so much more 🇹🇷❤
@@alkyoni9891 🥴
Thanks for the great views of this country.
BTW if you are planning on going to Capadoca from Istanbul, look into renting a car rather than expensive bus or flying for two people.The highways in Turkey are huge,modern, and lots of facilities on the way.Don't forget there are also tolls to consider,though.
just fly...its cheaper
@@eduador5 not for 2 people You can get a car in Istanbul for $300 for the week.Driving there plus using the car to sightsee so no taxi, local transport costs for a week.nThat's cheaper.
Watching your video brought back such great memories of our time in Istanbul. We’ve been fortunate to visit Turkey twice. Hoping you get to do a balloon flight in Cappadocia as well as visit Kaz down south.
Amazing to see you in Istanbul! I visited there earlier this year and found it to be a fascinating place.
Yes it’s easily one of the best cities we have ever been to, we really love it there
Just booked flights to Turkey, and the first thing I did afterwards was check if you guys had been there! You are my favourite go-tos for trip planning. Currently binging the whole series. Thankyou as always for your amazing HELPFUL content 🫶
Great to hear!
Istanbul is simply stunning!!! Thank you. Nice capturing. Cheers!😀😎😂
Hi chris and carole hope you are doing well !
Nice vlog again , keep on filming !
Keep tight and blessings !
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
CONGRATS ON YOUR 250K !! Always great content, thank you !! 👍👍👍❤️🙌🙌🙌
Cris you’re very informative about Turkey. You both are doing a great job. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Hello friends! Love the videos! And of course the kitties! Keep the videos coming! Loved the Cathedral! Istanbul is my dream place to go!
250K, Awesome ! Great video ! Appreciate the historical connections of places you visit. Helps tie into our history/geography classes when growing up. Excellent video and really helps with putting reality into what we sometimes wonder about how other countries look. Really surprising how well things are taken care of in other countries. Enjoy and Thank You !🤠🍉🍓🥑🍇🍺🍷
Cheers Phil!
Istanbul is one of the best Citys in the World and one of the biggest Citys in the World. 🇹🇷🤘💪☝️
Constantinoupol will once again be hellenic🇬🇷💪 We will come at nigth when you sleep...
@@user-dl9vt8ml7j Loser, you can't even own this land in your dream! You come, we will not have mercy on you this time, Greece will belong to us as it used to be, and you will not even have ashes in this geography!
@@user-dl9vt8ml7j When you compare the current power and the two countries, Istanbul is 2 times bigger than Greece, which you think of both in terms of economy and population... I think a single town of Istanbul can occupy the whole of Greece)))
@@user-dl9vt8ml7j and as a character you always need the protection of others..you can't fight..you're not brave enough to fight..that's why you always complain about europe or america and beg for guns..you are afraid of the turks, your news channel your politicitican always talks about turkey to ... In the other parliaments of the countries, the networks complain.. your fear is obvious from everywhere.. and will you take Istanbul in this case? or Will the Turks circumcise you at the first opportunity?
@@Peyp59 nahh numbers doesnt matter when it comes fighting greece! History has prooved it.
Hagia Sofia - at that time there were no structures of that magnitude in Europe ....a magnificent building.
Greeks did a good job
Because it was build by greeks, a Christian Orthodox symbol , stole by the Turks as they did half of modern day Turkey that use to belong to the Greeks. From Constantinople, the coast of Asia Minor, Ephesus, Pontus, Capadoccia etc.
@@Olympicspirit Am very aware of the history of Istanbul , Constantinople - capital of the Roman Empire and Byzantine before that still a beautiful building.
@@hasankilic9825 you said it yourself, by blood , lands that did not belonged to you meaning barbarians. But any excavation you do you find Greece everywhere, the greek ancient glory is burried in your soil.
@@OlympicspiritNothing is stolen, it is conquered by blood almost 600 years ago! and your so called asia minor 1.000 years ago!! Many civilizations have lived here in these beautiful lands and left a huge heritage. Not only Turks or Greeks but before them Romans, Assyrians, Hitites, Sumerians, Lydians,Troians etc and who knows will be the next. There is 13.000 years old civilization found who lived in famous Gobeklitepe in Anatolia. So stop spreading your stupid arguments. Your claims are so ridiculous and pathetic within ancient history.
Can’t wait for more! ! ✌️thanks!
Awesome content guys, cant wait to be there this Saturday to create and eat all the foods
Great Video! I thought I was back in college. Thank you for all the great information. I really loved the first Mosque it was beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The 2000 year old wall is very impressive! I really appreciate your giving us the historical information.Wonderful video!!! Love from Vermont
Thanks for watching 😊
Gorgeous city!! Love the video!
An Obelisk '' Cleopatra's needle'' was donated to London as well.... it's situated along the River Thames - literally 2 minute walk from my office.
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing the beautiful places of Istanbul. The food looks delicious.
Cheers, the food is great here
Always fabulous to travel with you! We get to go to places we will never visit in person. Wonderful, thank you!
*Congratulations 250K* Well deserved. Roll on the next 250K
What a calming video 😀
Beautiful place. Great video this one you just made. Thanks a lot. Enjoy your time!!
Thanks for watching 👍
Carol looks so beautiful with the head scarf. 😻 Gorgeous mosque.
@@alkyoni9891 but approximately 500 years ago :)
Cool wanted to meet a mosque in istanbul. great personal video
instabul as i see it is very similar to athens. so much byzantium greek architecture. love from italy!
These original Christian mosaics, more than 1,500 yrs old, were left intact and uncovered for 300 years by the Ottomans, in 1739 they were plastered over for 200 years. In 1934 Ataturk declared the site a museum and during restoration work the plaster was partially removed and the mosaics discovered. Recently president Erdogan, has determined it to be a mosque again and the mosaics are covered or veiled during prayer time.
Thanks for the info! Glad to see that the plaster didn’t seem to cause too much damage and it still remained quite preserved
Wow, my favourite UA-camr. I was waiting for your video since yesterday. Hello from Toronto😊
Kia Ora from New Zealand. Ijust wanted to say - Amazing footage. I am loving the breakdown of expenses as well. Wish I could set up an automatic like for your videos.
you Need to try the fish sandwich from the boats it's historic and called balik ekmed. then get on a boat tour plus visit the underground city,
Hello Carol and Chris welcome to Turkey I guess one place left if you guys have time Kas Antalya you can make boat tour around the area you will see most beautiful turquoise water colors in Turkey .Have good time and enjoy it.
Good informative video, thank you from Gary in British Columbia, Canada
The food looks good!
another good video guys! marmaris , icmeler are the ones to go! icmeler when i went was just the noise of crickets lol
Hi! Thanks for videos. Beautifully shot and super interesting. I like your relaxed style!
I'm going to Turkey in late Sept w my son. It would be really helpful if you posted a video on practical tips: where to find interesting accommodation, etc.
Keep up the good work, and also keep enjoying your travels! Thanks from Blighty.
wikipedia: Hagia Sophia, officially the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, is a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. Originally built by the eastern Roman emperor Justinian I as the Christian cathedral of Constantinople for the state church of the Roman Empire between 532 and 537, and designed by the Greek geometers Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles.
others obelysc I think of the same time/century are in Rome near the Colisseum, in Piazza del Popolo and via del Corso I don't know if they are one of the 2 that you mentioned :D loved Istanbul as well as Cappadocia, visited years ago!!!! love your videos and all the hard work you put into is very very appreciated ♥the music choice is always perfect
Thank you for sharing.
write you to say hello! following you since begining of pandemic when you stuck in Philippines. How nice to see you in my hometown. Hope you have amazing time during your journey. keep following you

I am happy for you guys thanks
I'm salivating with the food you're eating guys 😋
I watched last night the movie From Russia with love and Mr Bond was there on that square Sultan Ahmet
Wow, this square has nicely filled up with greenery since we've visited it in 1996
Nice! What were the parts with grass like back then?
@@JumpingPlaces there practically weren't any that I remember, only some very young, very skinny little trees. Mind you, it's also been February or March, and the weather was pretty gloomy, cold and miserable
Hello guys,
The white , white drink called ayran is a yoghurt+water+salt,lemon Mix, is refreshing and a really good electrolyte drink.
The red ,spicy dip of tiny scliced vegetables..its called ezme Salad.
The cuisine its really very hearty. The meat is mostly very good halal quality. Having good meat is a thing of pride.😅
You can without no problem try food from imbisses, cause having a clean Imbiss is another thing of pride. 😅
Please check out the turkish Pizza called lahmancun- its served without cheese, but with fresh herbs, Lemon and Salad, super crispy. Döner and dürum sandwiches of all kinds.
As Desert i can recommend sütlac , its a baked, sweet rice dish.
Try fish. 🕊🧡🕊
Thanks for the tips!
Beautiful little kitties 🐈🐾✨
Istanbul could be the most travel vlogged city in the world and that is a good video with interesting history.
Food Looks really good amigos !!!
Thanks 🇹🇷👍
So beautiful. Thanks for sharing🤗🤗
Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩🇧🇩
