    Thanks for watching guys!! Stay tuned for many more of our adventures in Turkey!!
    What are your recommendations for what to see & do in Istanbul/Turkey?!

    Istanbul is one of my favourite cities that I travelled to and the food is amazing.
    Gulhane Park, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia are all close together. Other places to see are Sulemainye Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Bosphorus Cruise (stopping at Dolmabahce Palace, Rumeli Fortress next to the bridge), go to Asia side of Istanbul and see the Camlica Hill for the views and Camlica Mosque. Also go to Sultan Ayup Mosque and close by is the Pierre Lotti Cable Car to see the views of the Golden Horn. Go to top of Galata Tower before sunset as well. Take a day trip to Princes Island as well especially to Buyukada

    Welcome to Turkiye. The name Turkey changed to Turkiye couple months ago. Also when visiting historical places, we all appreciated, not to compare them to Disneyland .Turkish people are very sensitive on this subject.Actually the Topkapi Palace was for the Ottoman Sultans and the Royal family. When eating outside try the 'Esnaf lokantalari".They are for the working people and they display their food on steam tables and you choose whatever you like and ask for "Chefs plate".

    • @SirKonrad

      Actually I’ve never been to Disneyland and maybe I should have worded my thoughts better, but I meant it as a compliment to the beauty of the architecture of the palace! I think Disney obviously took inspiration!
      Thanks so much for watching and for the recommendation, we will look for it the next time we go out and explore 🙂
