- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | We marvel at the fascinating landscape of Cappadocia from high above in a balloon...and from deep below, prowling an underground city where Christians once hid out. We’ll join a circumcision party, explore troglodyte ghost towns, shop for sheep at the market, and chat with an imam. Then we enjoy the modern capital, Ankara, and pay our respects to the father of modern Turkey, Atatürk. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #turkey

No one could understand how I love this man for his open-mindedness and beautiful view of the world and its people.
I wish people could learn from him and we could all live happily in peace around the world.
Probably impossible, but everything gotta start somewhere.
Rick Steves is such a role model :)
He's a top bloke and looked after his workers during Covid. That's the role model for how you should act as a boss. Watched his program on Palestine yesterday and gave a great open minded insight into that troubled land.
As a Turk, I can frankly say that this is probably the best explained travel documentary about Turkey. Even a way better than Turkish ones.
The people are better than the scenery.
This vlog convinced me to visit Turkey this January 2019. I can't wait to experience the authentic Turkish culture, food and hospitality.
How was your trip? :)
Go for it u ll need to visit and visit again and again 😜
how was it?
@@mete1099 It was amazing! one of my best travels epecially if you love ancient history. Turkey is not only very historical but also blessed with stunning landscapes. Above all Turkish people are very welcoming and friend eventhough most of them don:t speak english. They go out fof their way to help you. But I am not sure if Covid and the economic recession would make a difference.
Well done, Rick. There are so much misunderstandings, propaganda and bad journalisms that leads to fear, hatred and isolation. It is great that someone like you travel and talk to people so that we can understand each other better. May God bless you and the world!
I spent two years in Istanbul on a project and was impressed by the culture and people. The people are very friendly and generous as well. Love Turkish food and chai.
We spell it Cay, its spelt Chai in central Asia
i spent 15 days in turkey last summer with my friends, and Cappadocia is the best!
steve ! i'm gonna say this....""you are awesome"".not only this episode but in each and every travels of yours no one brings up the rich experience that you and you alone are able to bring in.the best part of you which i find unique only to you is that unlike other travelers you explore the culture by mingling into people not just by checking out famous spots found on internet.

Omg güzelyurt! They show the house of my grandfather! So beautiful, it is above the church of sant Gregorios! The house is still nice, a nice Turkish family lives there. People there are so hospital, so beautiful colors, very good food and music! Wow I hope one day I visit it again. Many greetings from Greece. Piece
Thank you Panos you wellcome everytime and all Greek people to.
nikolas you are wrong. that was population exchange. turks also came to anatolia from thessaloniki,crete,rodos etc. after 1923.
Not only that. Have u ever heard about genocide of the Greeks and Armenians? It started at 1915 until 1923. If your grandfather lives ask him , maybe even you are one of the Islamised Greeks. :)
I live in Aksaray (30 min. from Güzelyurt) and work at the university at the department of history. You are always welcome to visit Aksaray, Panos.
@bm3racer The genocide was happening also during the population exchange, i ' m not trying to change anything.
Great video. Very insightful into Turkish people. Greetings from Romania.
Steve...you are a blessing. Wow! You have no idea how much happiness you bring to people lucky enough to view your videos! Thanks from the bottom of my heart! Like countless others, I wish to meet you someday.
I just love how open-minded this guy is. He's the kind of guy whom I'd give a warm hug :D
Most Edmonds people give that impression
so open minded your brains fall out!
Yesss....👍👌
what do u mean by open minded? liberal,suckular?
@@azamkhan1526 well said my friend, this video also contain the soft propaganda like nasdaily.. so be careful and be smart to filter what he said.
I have never seen such an amazingly organized Travel documentary. Good Work
I love how he goes deeper into the country, out of the touristy areas. He gets to know the locals and experience their history and culture. That’s the reason why I like to travel. Love his videos...♥️♥️
Your videos are so beautifully designed. Most of all you are really humble even while interacting with shopkeepers, vendors, or just common citizens.
I descended in that underground city, Kaymakli, when i visited Cappadocia few years ago. Unforgettable place!
Turkey ☪ is beautiful country
LOT LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
How beautiful is this country!
Rick, all I can say is you are phenomenal! I absolutely love watching your show, and learning about the different countries you visit and the history behind those countries and the culture. Thanks again!
My favorite souvenir is broader perspectives! Isn't that the most wonderful attitude when travelling? Thank you Rick!!
I adore being in Turkey. Live the locations, cuisine, and friends. Words will never adequately explain how amazed I was when I toured the palaces, ruins, and subterranean hotels! The ice cream is excellent!
Rick...how did I miss you all these years?? You a very great and the most intelligent man. You are truly a very diligent. Thank you for all the videos...the more I see... the more I appreciate you. Thank you...may you remain healthy.
Beautiful show, Turkey is amazing Thank you Rick
Des tapis aussi merveilleux que des prières cueillies en abondance, dans le fil du tisserand.
I travel through Turkey last year 2022. I love this episode that you did on Turkey. At the end of your segment, I love how you summarized your experience of the country and its people. I could not have put it in better words. It moved me almost to tears when I was listening to it.
Beautiful places. I've been to Cappadocia and explored its caves on a side-trip from Konya, when I was on a semester in that city. I regret not taking advantage to also see Guzelyurt and a few other places. A Turkish carpet shop is definitely an experience. I was once in Istanbul, walking between Gulhane and down towards Binbirdirek, when a pushy carpet seller ignored by constant reiterations that I wasn't interested. So I went to the shop, drank a few cups of cay (saved money that way) and learned some interesting facts about carpet-making. Then finally after chillin a little while, to the shop-owner's surprise I thanked him for the free cay and the lesson, then walked out to be on my way again.
Turkey is a beautiful country, every corner of it is historically culturally rixh and so so beautiful, love from Pakistan 👍🌹😍😘🌸
Thanks :) greetings from Turkey

The same way Pakistan is the jewel of south Asia 😉. An undiscovered treasure
At 19:43, while Rick listened to the Adhan, it look to me like his soul was moved :)
Falling more and more in love with Turkey! Magnificent Century TV series brought me here.
I love Turkey.
I usually visit so many travel blogs and videos in internet, fortunately i found the best one among the all. Thanks Rick, you actually increased my interest to visit and explore the history of Turkey. Happy Travelling.
Really beautiful and you make it more beautiful,,love it thank you
@14:36 That's a breathtaking view. Wonder how it feels to wake up to such majestic nature to start a day.
Turkey is a beauty full country
I LOVE TURKEY!! Thank you for showing us, this beautiful video!!
Such a natural video. Sharing all the views of Turkey. Thank you a lot for making these videos and thanks for your open mind. You had done a beautiful job.
Such an Amazing way to see any favorite country!
This is spectacular. I love that you are teaching others to stop being ethnocentric. It's harming this globe, all the immigration and trying to segregate over education, skills, culture, heritage, gender and many other excuses. We're all brothers and sisters and share this planet. We can learn from each other, share food, drink, life, scenes. And we should. I loved Andrew Bourdain for doing this and now you should rise in his place. It's important to tie and link all humans. You have an amazing job. I never wanted to travel outside of US until I went to Riga, Latvia to see my son and where he attended college there. Now I have the travel bug, went to New Zealand, Venise, Germany, Netherlands. I would love to do even more traveling after seeing this and many other of your videos. I'm addicted. Now I recreate the foods I've eaten and want to learn language, and doing watercolor and pictures to take me out of the US. lol Thank you for all you do Rick!!
What a beautiful little documentary is this. Loved it.
Wonderful place thanks for sharing beautiful video and useful comments.
Your videos are so educational. I have been using them as part of our Social Studies Curriculum.
at the same time clear english, practise and educate english
TheDenisedrake me too ☺
That’s what my teachers do!
Male students all squirm in their seats during the circumcision party.
THAT IS AWESOME THEDENISEDRAKE WTG
i m from Turkey i want to say that u had a good job sir.
Okan Dursun Ulus Bazaar & Qaiser e Hisaar missing in Ankara visit
Brilliant video I visit cappadocia in March its amazing historical beautiful place to see its a once in life time place to visit would recommend you visit Turkey has many beautiful city and places to visit but Cappadocia tops in it all truly Amazing place to see 😀
JenzerBabiee It looks amazing. I'm visiting Turkey for 2 months starting in September. I plan to visit many of the places highlighted in this video!
One of my favourite countries to visit! ❤️❤️
Wow. I was in Istanbul in the 1990's, only for a couple weeks. I loved my time there! I want to go back there!!! The Grand Bazar...spices are worth going there!
Funny part is that I am learning about my own country from Rick's videos after being born + having lived in Istanbul for 18 years :D
Guzel..
Thanks for joining us with your smile very cute .Excellent
Extremely interesting, as usual! If I ever gain the time and money for it, I'll look into traveling to Turkey someday (after my first choice, Rome). My thanks to Rick Steves and all who work with him to make this possible.
Kyle Jones Be careful with waiting - as Tim Ferriss once said "Someday is a disease that will take your dreams to to your grave".
Rome is an excellent choice. Good luck to you.
Istanbul or formerly Constantinople or Byzantium is the second Rome.
BTW Moscow is the third Rome.
You have to make it happen. If you don’t prioritize it it won’t happen. I did not eat in a restaurant for a year but I then had $ to spend a month in Italy.
@@10MillionMilesJourney this!!!
Central Turkey great religious places and landscapes Joy spend my holiday in this spectacular land Ann Deakin 2021

"We'll drop in on a circumcision party," I lost it, hahaha :D.
I went ewww. Barbaric lol
When I had my circumcision I did not have a lavish party. It was just as expected for a young boy in my community.
Byron O'Neal
Circumcision is good. But turning it into a party is uncivilized.
@@alexanderk6575 What? A Doctor does it there is nothing barbaric about it and its also is more hygienic and has religious reasons
Yes
We do have same celebration here in Bangladesh
I love Rick's travel programs - he is awesome. Love Turkey!!
