I can not agree more. especially the walks in the alleys where the locals live and some paths for hiking are not something you often see in other travel channels. and gabriel does it so well...! you think you are there walking in his side.
Hey I was in Fethiye in 1994 and with my wife in 2015 - I can recognize a lot of the places. We rented a car and drove around and visited many other places like Bodrum, Marmaris, Mugla, Kas, Oludeniz ...we even drove all the way to Pamukkale
We appreciate Gabriel! You introduce Turkey very well! I have been in USA before and realized nobody knows Turkey! When I see comments from North America I feel happy :) Many Thanks ♥
Not sure if you are headed that way but Kusadasi was pretty great, was there in 2006. Ephesus was incredible. Talk about Mark Antony and Cleopatra walking together on the same streets. Its a great story how an ancient city was found by a couple hikers climbing around the hills.
So unfortunate to see historical areas, monuments and towns covered in garbage looking graffiti. Wish people took better care of their history and cities (had the same thought in Tbilisi).
you have remember that such sites are all over the place, they have thousands of them, so it's not practical to conserve them all, while the same old remains in Germany or the Netherlands would be quite unique and rare, and kept as treasures, in Turkey or Italy they just have too much of it.
@@Blackadder75 for the parts that attract tourism yes they care. But there are also some parts that are important from historical point of view but not from touristic that nobody cares about.
Your from California ,your supposed to hitchhike up that hill :) Cool place . The take away from the experience is don’t bury in a fancy tomb because they will kick you out eventually.
I came across your channel almost by chance, I imagine because I have beef researching Turkey and its history. I am fascinated by Turkey, the Turkish people and their incredible history, a history that does not seem to be cared for or preserved. Other countries would be making sure that these sites are preserved as a legacy of a very rich past. Perhaps their religion and economics have something to do with this neglect, I don’t know. In my opinion, they could benefit by preserving these Turkish sites for tourism, which at the same time and ironically, will rescue them from the neglect that they are in. Thank you for posting these, I have enjoyed your videos.
As much as every human is worth listening to ; listening to youth of their dreams that gives us their zest , listening to elders of their trials & triumphs that gives us their strength , every place is worth visiting too.
As usual it's very interesting to see the old historical sites in this country and the cats are quite popular in Turkey, as every side of the streets it can be seen many of them, so it's nothing much uncommon in there.
I’m in Crete at the moment staying near Heraklion. Been to rethimno, agios nikolaos but some of the best towns/villages are the ones inland. Neapoli seemed such an authentic place. Still need to travel to the south of the island after this storm passes over. It may be on the way to you in fetiyhe. Enjoy!
you just cant go wrong in crete mate. since you like the inland archanes, anogeia, ano/kato asites and zaros are in close proximity from your way from heraklion to matala. i strongly recommend them.
"Tagging" the ultimate expression of narcissism. Believing that your name or tag is so important that it's ok to vandalize somebodies property or heritage sites.
Ahh, we seem to always miss each other! I just left Fethiye, before I was in Ephesus, now in Antalya. Well, maybe somwhere along the road we will catch up! Inshallah, right? :) Btw I loved Fethiye, stayed there for about two weeks! Good vibes for sure. And Kabak (which is close by) is beautiful as well! Didn't love Ölüdeniz though, tbh. Cheers, Gabe!
For me Fethiye is the better place to stay. It has way more character.. As you say Ölüdeniz is just a short distance away, so it's easy to enjoy the beach also.
agree. even if one wants a smaller place to stay, I guess there are several villages in the area with character and authenticity from oludeniz that looks more like a resort built just for tourists. i never visited turkey (except constantinople) though, so I do not know the place, I judge only from the wonderful videos of Gabriel.
I look forward to your videos everyday Gabe. Good job. But you should have gone in that rug shop! Haha it must have caught your interest cause you pointed the camera to it. I really enjoy your filming style.
Hi Gabriel, Interesting little tourist town the main tomb appears to be damage the columns look like there going come down soon. I wonder who checks these structures to ensure the safety of them the columns look like they need to be reinforced. The Geeks would bury there dead in the mountains mimicking where the gods are on Mount Olympus.
It is a bit sad that this ancient site while it is supervised by the archeological authorities and in fact you pay a ticket to see it, it is not clean enough and has no information signs for visitors. other sites in the same region was much cleaner and you dont need to search google for info about them.
You have to remember that centuries of vagabonds have camped and made fires in those old tombs. the original burials most likely had been plundered 2000 years ago already. So if a damaged column has survived all these centuries it's not very likely that it will suddenly collapse in 2020.
If you haven't try a Turkish Bath Hamam, you should def try it! It was 35Euro for me, the owner even pick me up/drop me off. I don't know if the price is different for men/women, they will scrub all your death skin cells off your back lol follow by deep massage. I just can't stop giggling during Hamam. 0.48 on the furthest part of the hills, I can see my Gulet/yacht travel agent office, all the Blue Cruise/Gulet starts here. Also at the end of the pier near the hill, is the ferry office to Rhodes and the custom check point before boarding the ferry. Sweet memories all returning. My hostel is very close to the white mosque, so just 15 min walk across the street, up the hill is the Lycien Tombs. Just before I had to catch my ferry to Rhode, I took a quick walk up the hill for some pictures of the tombs, because the ticket agent actually pick me up on time to the custom/ferry.. I only stayed 2 nights in Fethiye and continue with the rest of my journey. I did the 12 Islands tours, it's so easy to joint any boat tours from the kiosk along the harbor. Gabe, I hope you will get to see the turtle hospital by Dalyan river, it's a charity run by a British lady, she's been on other documentary for saving the turtles. It can only be reach by joining a boat tour up the river. I did a lot of research but I run out of time to see it. Are you going north to Marmaris after this? Did you try the Turkish ice cream? it's very thick, it's made with some plants base extract.
We world travelers it becomes very hard to impress us 🤣😂🤣 at the end people are people everywhere and it takes 3 things to wow me How the people treat us and the vibe they creat Amazing building left by the ancients that will make my mind wonder The beautiful nature god created and gifted to a specific place
I agree. I am totally enjoying Turkey but I would be tired of ruins by now. Gabe is making the best of this great country due to the pandemic not letting him go to too many places and it is getting cold in many places now. I have traveled quite a bit of the world and live in a beautiful part of the world and those facts make it even more difficult to get impressed.
Gabriel: I have watched all your videos and have one question for you: How well do you sleep in all those budget hotels you stay at. I heard you say that the place you were staying at only costs $25 a night. I picture a rock hard bed, lots of street noise, people yelling out in the hall, and a generally uncomfortable setting that would make sleep nearly impossible. How could someone sleep when you move from one budget hotel to the next with the stress of being in a unfamiliar setting and mattress all the time?
The room was really nice actually. A little street noise but not bad and the room itself was great. The Turkish lira is weak right now so that makes everything cheaper than it normally would be. I've had four star hotel rooms for $50. I'll show more of my rooms in future videos.
It's quite possible those family tombs contained valuable possessions which have since been looted, including gold coins to pay the ferryman. They may even have been lined with gold. I guess wooden ladders would have been used to provide access to the tombs on the cliff face. They might have had locked heavy doors. Certainly tombs of members of the Greek or Macedonian aristocracy. Possibly, tombs of those soldiers who joined Alexander on his expansion east.
From 6:15 you see only the flags and perhaps don't think anything special. But these flags have a special meaning. This is a symbolic act. All over turkey, young man have to make their military service when they are 18 years old, if you're not studying. These are the flags of those young man 18- 25 year old, who were martyrs and will always be known as brave hearts in war for their land and family. It's really emotional when a family delivers the message of the martyr of their 20 year old son. For that reason. Remember the next time if you see a flag on an old building with no toilette. This is the homeland of a young man who is martyr. They will always save this beautiful , and historical so meaningful country. And on 9:40 you can see that, there people who lived in this region where absolutely independent of any other country. Only the ancient hellenistic historians defined them ass greec. But in fact they were lyciens or Ioniens with their own country. By the way homers ilias and Odysseeus has its ancestry in this region of independent people. They never defined themselves as greecs, because they were anatolian
Wow I hoped you would come here from my last comment 👍 Check out Mick Scarsbrook channel he is very knowledgeable about Fethiye he managed to film some wild Boars and Turkey in general. Amazing ancient sites you found in the hills!
Hey Gabriel. How did you get around these areas? Did you rent a car? I'm trying to avoid renting a car. Is there a bus or anything that can take me around those areas?
our happy place 20 odd visits in the past 30 years always having different things to do. Not to sure who would take advice from someone just passing through and not spending the time needed to soak up what the area is about.
this is a real explorer, goes where no one goes and explains what he does not know or understand and with joy
I can not agree more. especially the walks in the alleys where the locals live and some paths for hiking are not something you often see in other travel channels. and gabriel does it so well...! you think you are there walking in his side.
@@wifiThief That is why we love Gabriel so much.
No were? :) you will shock how many tourist came here each year
Never imagined that Turkey had so many ancient tombs, love to have the chance to go there one day and see them.
There are so many historical sites in Turkey . Beautiful country
Gabriel won't be Gabriel without exploring random areas! Keep it up dude!
Fethiye is not a random area, it's a Turkish City.
Have a beautiful day everyone❤
Sending lots of love🥰
Have a good one.
20:44 When Gabriel already has big smile on his face, even before he reaches the clue of the joke :-)))
Classic!
Wow what a beautiful location. This reminds me a bit of Marmaris, Turkey.
Hey I was in Fethiye in 1994 and with my wife in 2015 - I can recognize a lot of the places. We rented a car and drove around and visited many other places like Bodrum, Marmaris, Mugla, Kas, Oludeniz ...we even drove all the way to Pamukkale
Truly amazing videos of Turkey. Greets from Sveti Stefan, Montenegro! Stay cool Gabe :)
We appreciate Gabriel! You introduce Turkey very well! I have been in USA before and realized nobody knows Turkey! When I see comments from North America I feel happy :) Many Thanks ♥
Loving this Turkey series. Such a scenic and historical part of the world.
We were there around this time last year. Thanks for brining us back to Fethiye Gabriel! 👍 - Trevor
Thanks Gabe 😊nice video🌴💦beautiful place and nice weather🌞
What's nice about this part of the world is there's no keeping up with the Jones'. And summer continues to shine down on you.🌞
Water domes Ottaman period...
Water runs across dome and filters via holes into reservoir below ....clever
Super great Video. I felt like i would accompany you. Thank you for sharing. Stay Healthy.
Not sure if you are headed that way but Kusadasi was pretty great, was there in 2006. Ephesus was incredible. Talk about Mark Antony and Cleopatra walking together on the same streets. Its a great story how an ancient city was found by a couple hikers climbing around the hills.
I like how Gabe just keeps on going. True Grit.
Thanks for the vid. Stay safe.
When ever I watch ur vlog, I fell relax my self.
Enjoyed seeing a town I had never heard of. Your various wanderings are the best thing on You Tube. Thank you.
I trust in your experience man! 👍🙏
There is something wonderfully exotic about the call to prayer. I never tire of hearing it thank you.
Not if you live next door!
Now this is classic Gabe. 🤟
Hi Gabe. Thank you for another great video. I want to thank you for continuing to create videos during this difficult time. Continued safe travels.
Lovely video Gabriel! Greetings to the turkish people from your long distance neighbouring country Macedonia! 😊
Amazing . My God just amazing
Finally Gabriel you show the Gulets of Turkey love it!
Not sure if you were aware, but since you love hiking, there is a hiking trail that goes along the coast, and its called the Lycian Way.
Love the Knishna disguise. Appropriate expression of the joy and beuti that is Turkey.
Wow beautiful place
So unfortunate to see historical areas, monuments and towns covered in garbage looking graffiti. Wish people took better care of their history and cities (had the same thought in Tbilisi).
you have remember that such sites are all over the place, they have thousands of them, so it's not practical to conserve them all, while the same old remains in Germany or the Netherlands would be quite unique and rare, and kept as treasures, in Turkey or Italy they just have too much of it.
Madrassans for you!!!
The important thing is that it's not their history that's why they treat it like that. It's part of Greek history that's why they don't care about...
@@speinjun well, they care about it because it attracts tourism......
@@Blackadder75 for the parts that attract tourism yes they care. But there are also some parts that are important from historical point of view but not from touristic that nobody cares about.
Keep it up Gabe I'm loving these ancient ruins 👌👌👌👍👍👍
Beautiful Views around Fethiye, thanks Gabriel.
Best Wishes Sent
Need to pay a visit to this nice place one day !
I'm enjoying getting caught up on some Turkey videos
Cool man, the best is yet to come. I'm way behind with the editing.
Your from California ,your supposed to hitchhike up that hill :) Cool place . The take away from the experience is don’t bury in a fancy tomb because they will kick you out eventually.
It’s a beautiful town, I went there in 2013
Gabriel, Finding your site this year is a real positive. Thankyou
Its been lovely to see Fetiye threw your eyes i haven't been there for years

Good morning. Just looking at some from a few weeks ago.
Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️

Very cool, have fun. Must be pretty quiet now. Matala is a nice spot.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos yeah it's pretty quiet right now. Lots of the smaller villages are empty. Will take a look at matala tomorrow
you just cant go wrong in crete mate. since you like the inland archanes, anogeia, ano/kato asites and zaros are in close proximity from your way from heraklion to matala. i strongly recommend them.
"Tagging" the ultimate expression of narcissism. Believing that your name or tag is so important that it's ok to vandalize somebodies property or heritage sites.
but, sener did this in the name of love and to let us know... LOL
Agreed. What do you even get out of it? Graffiti your own wall, where you'll see it every day, not irreplaceable ancient sites.
I hope there is a way to erase them without harming the site.
20:52 He's right there under the sign that says "Old Town" and says "There should be a sign that says here's the old town". :))
I was joking. :)
Gabriel you would be a great history teacher 👍
love the sleepy residential streets
20:44 🤣 brilliant
😛
Gabriel amazing I often wondered what these old thumbs were like in the inside 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ahh, we seem to always miss each other! I just left Fethiye, before I was in Ephesus, now in Antalya. Well, maybe somwhere along the road we will catch up! Inshallah, right? :)

My videos are way behind, so I was in Fethiye a couple weeks ago. Travel on!
They dont say "Marhaba" 21:49 , simply say hi. I was in fethiye last week as well.
For me Fethiye is the better place to stay. It has way more character.. As you say Ölüdeniz is just a short distance away, so it's easy to enjoy the beach also.

Gabriel at 1: 40 you just pass a big boat I was on a day trip Sep year ago. Cheers
You should also visit the Sagalassos and Antioch of Pisidia
and ''Yazılı Kanyon Milli Parkı'' must see!
I wonder if those that desecrated such historic and beautiful places will one day look back in shame.
Bravo et bonne continuation

Pyongyang is more worth it imo
Every place is worth visiting despite location or local habbits
19:42 Such a vibrant T-Shirt! :D
They have a very good market in that town.....with meals for sale.
Fethiye is so nice. I saw in the news there is an earthquake between Turkey and Greece. I hope you are okay 👌 . Stay safe 🇺🇸
If you have the time should get up too Babadag mountain!
"The city became part of the Persian Empire"
Bill Wurtz: It's the *Persian* Empire!
Never heard of him before. Checked his vids, he's pretty hilarious.
If you come to Bursa let me know. We may cross paths as I head South from Istanbul.

Turkish bath is very good, I wish they had more of those here in Europe. we have a few in big cities with lots of Turkish immigrants
I hope to see you in Ephesus and Kusadasi!
Hi, brother it is similar to my country too❤️🙏👍
14:20 I think it says "1827". The "BC" seems to be part of a longer word.
We world travelers it becomes very hard to impress us 🤣😂🤣 at the end people are people everywhere and it takes 3 things to wow me
How the people treat us and the vibe they creat
Amazing building left by the ancients that will make my mind wonder
The beautiful nature god created and gifted to a specific place
hail Offler, the Crocodile god!

I was there in 1984 already
cool vision of the future but the sea level will probaly be 25 metres higher or so, maybe an underwater future village
Where is he walking? I like the meal
Hello from canada. News says earthquakes in turkey. Hope u r well
Luckily I wasn't in the area, didn't feel a thing.
That is one angry rooster lol
Guess they didn't have concrete five hundred years ago Gabriel 😁

It was built inspired by Ancient India. Ajanta caves, check out on internet.
India hahah..
Ajanta and Ellora are spectacular.
Your t shirt still alive
Gabe are you ok? Heard there was a earthquake over there.
Hey Gabriel. How did you get around these areas? Did you rent a car? I'm trying to avoid renting a car. Is there a bus or anything that can take me around those areas?
Yeah I rented a car: ua-cam.com/video/1ek4k4iC03M/v-deo.html But there are also buses.
it was the bee gees in the old city ?
It is really sad, I would love to visit Turkey, especially now it's so cheap but I won;t go unless they vote for a new government.
@H HCan I will, and so will my €uros
@H HCan I agree, the current one doesn't handle the covid 19 situation very well, we need a change
true, he is the enemy of humanity
Im dying of cold in Belgium is this video recent?
This was filmed a couple weeks ago, but it's still pretty warm around here.
Did you vote?
Hello gabe
First graffiti I have seen in Turkey, a very clean country.
our happy place 20 odd visits in the past 30 years always having different things to do. Not to sure who would take advice from someone just passing through and not spending the time needed to soak up what the area is about.
What u think about turkey
No COVID?
