assalamu walaikum I love you form India
Thank you looks interesting 😊
My grandmother lives on Buyukada and it is what I consider to be "my home" in Turkey. Can't wait to go back.
Bro Ur lucky
My dad was born on Buyukada. 1919. The house is still there. Looks very New Englandish in architectural style.
This is something else to do when you come to Istanbul and have an extra day to spend here. This place is lovely!

Just subscribed, loving your channel! 9 visits so far to mesmerizing Istanbul & still counting. Glad you mentioned the horse carriages, from what my Turkish friends have told me, they thankfully have been halted. Hope to invest with sis in a little house in gorgeous Fethiye. Keep the great content coming Bery. My grandma is originally Turkish & I consider Turkey as my 2nd home ❤️
Much love from Lebanon! ❤️

Lovely Istanbul
Going tomorrow to princes Island Istanbul. Right now I'm in Turkey Istanbul. Love from Pakistan 😍🇵🇰🇹🇷
Wao great vedeo👌😍❤️🇹🇷🇵🇰
Good, beauty and history together, sweet place to visit and spent a good day............Karachi Central.Pakistan.
Great idea to rent a bicycles. That's good is possible to negotiate rent price. Beautiful trip around Princes Island :)
Hi Beri, I've just joined your channel and have enjoyed several of your videos. I so appreciate all the specific details of how, where, how much travel costs, as this is something every visitor has to factor into heir holiday budget. I wonder if you could take us to Gülhane Park; I absolutely love the look of that place, and hope to visit the whole city next spring. Greetings from London!
Thanks a lot for watching our videos! We really want to make it a bit easier to future travelers since we also travel a lot abroad and sometimes is hard to find info about fees, how to go, and more exact info and that is why through our channel we help everyone when it comes to Istanbul 💕
Gülhane is beautiful! We will try to show it soon in another video.
Thanks for your nice suggestion! 😍
I have been visiting Buyukada since 1972. The most striking is the old colonial houses, outstanding architecture of old.. I used to go swimming at the Spa club with my friend Taso, who lived on the Island then.. It is very picturesque and well worth taking your camera. Always negotiate prices on hiring bikes etc as well as the Horse carriages. The Turks have been spoilt by western ways and will get as much as they can for everything. Most people are honest and extremely friendly. Prices are higher than in Istanbul and expect to pay 10 to 15 %more. At the top of the hill about 500 yards from the ferry is a very modern Cafe,, where a lovely cup of cappuccino and some Macaroons is a lovely way to spend watching the harbour and ferries.. It is called BIG Island but in comparison to some others, there is very little to do unless you want a nice Fish restaurant. A morning or afternoon there is sufficient. Still a fabulous place to visit though !.. Oh I forget...there are NO cars but plenty of very cute cats !
What do you mean, Turks were scored by westerners, what do you say?
I really like your videos
Nice video.
Wow very nice...Good Luck your chanel👍
This was SO good and informative. Thank you! Happy to hear that the horse carriages have also been banned. PROGRESS! :)
Beautiful place
It really is!
So beautiful
So beautiful very nice video so I am subscribe your channel you are explain everything
very good . thanks and regards
It is a beautifull place!! I've been there twice. It's only a shame that this place is visited by animals called humans. Leaving their trash behind..... Good that you have mentioned it in this video. Good for you girl!
Animals are not that dirty...and humans ought to know better
Una vez más gracias por tus vídeos bella Bery, ya me falta poco para recorrer todo eso y gracias a tus vídeos que son de mucha ayuda. No olvides, "La Noche Turca" y de paso te pido algo más... ¿Donde comprar ropa de todos los estilos y talla, a buen precio y buena calidad.? Te mando un abrazo enorme desde Argentina y espero conocerte pronto. Görüşürüz canım 🤲🏻💕
Preciosa! Ya falta menos para que llegues a Turquía! Ya estás contando el tiempo 😁😁 esperemos poder hacer alguno de esos videos pronto, los tendremos en mente, por lo pronto los que vienen en seguida es comida callejera y qué hacer en la zona de Beşiktaş 💕💕 un abrazo enorme!
Hola Bery! Muchas gracias por tus vídeos, me ayudaron mucho al estar allá. Sobre este vídeo tal vez sería bueno, si haces algún otro, sobre tener cuidado al tomar el ferry de vuelta. Cuando fui al puerto, al que se suponía partía el bote para Kabatas, me dijeron (en el mismo puerto) que la máquina que certifica el boleto de la Istanbul pass estaba malograda, de modo que tenía que pagar 100 liras. Al no conocer, pensé que era correcto; sin embargo, luego me di cuenta de que ese no era el ferry del transporte público (que usa la Istanbul card) sino que era una especie de ferry privado. Me di cuenta porque no atracó exactamente en la terminal de Kabatas sino unos 100 metros al costado. En fin, te comento esto porque para estos casos no he visto una guía, más aún cuando es la primera vez que se toma los botes.
Adalar mutlaka görülmesi gerekli. Harika bir yer.
güzel yerler ama utanıyoruz her defasında çöp ve pislikten temiz değiliz
NiCe Work
Thank you!!
this place is very beautiful as like you .
thank you!
🧿❤️🧿❤️🧿
Such a nice vlog.💙It's amazing. Very beautiful and useful. Thank u so much.🙌 One of my dreams is to visit this beautiful place. I think it's incredible and relaxing. Riding a bike, looking at the views and feeling free and happy😍. I hope to have the opportunity to go there with my family soon.💛 I have one question: Are the people on the island speak english? Do you have some problems with the language? Thank you again for the amazing video. Keep going 💙
❤💝

@@BeryIstanbulTips awesome options, thank you!!
👍
Hi Bery! Do you have any recommendations on restaurants at Buyukada?! TIA!
would you say half a day is enough to explore the island or do you need to spend the whole day? Also when does the first ferry leave from Istanbul in the morning, when does the last one leave buyukada, and how often do ferries come to the island?
thanks. Amazing video btw
I don't understand who gave you dislikes. Some frustrate people probably... From me big like :)
7:30 is it lantern behind on you? more far in the distance.
is ferry from kadikoy to princess Ireland still functional.kindly update
Türkiye👏🙏
Lovely video as you have made it but some rest of the thirst for which I want to know that can stay here for two or three days. Is there any hotel to stay?
Is this a good place to visit mid March?
Annem babam Buyukadali Rum Ortodox orda dogdular simdi Atina Yunanistanda yasiyoruz..Ben Cihangirde dogudum ve yasadim..Kalbim her zaman Buyukada dir..
thank for de tour of Prince island. is there any e-scooter or motor scooter for rent?
Hi.could you please give some info?. I really need ferries time table coz i don't know for how long time can we stay there in a day? What if we got late & night came to come back to somewhere like Eminönü?
What kind of a ferry goes to Büyükada ?..does have a typical name ? Is it a big or small ferry? is it only tour ferries go to Büyükada? Does the ferry have more stop points ahead before Büyükada arrival?
I love ur videos. May i ask how much is the cost for that electric scooter to the top?
Dr Azizul Idris following this question.
How much is for the electrical car?
Not sure now, I haven’t been for a while. Expect at least 20TL+
looks outstanding ...if I need to go uphill what alternative is there ? any dolmus etc as am asthmatic??
The views are stunning! Unfortunately vehicles are forbidden on the islands. Also horse carriages were recently banned. The only way of going all the way up is by foot :(
There are some electric carriages for 2 people but they will drop you off below the hill and all people must walk up by foot.
Is about 10-15 min walking slowly slowly.
@@BeryIstanbulTips Thank you very much choc tshekerdeim .. that would be ok can manage that ... lovely to see your presentations
Is it possible to collect and eat sea urchins on the isles of Princes ? I never saw urchins in Istanbul fish restaurants…
There are a lot of white jellyfishes, are there poisonous ? Can you swim in Büyükada ? Thanks for answering !
Muchas Gracias Bery!! Bellìsimo lugar!!!! este es uno de los que me quedó pendiente para mi regreso a Estambul...Te consulto .... se puede llegar caminando desde el muelle hasta Aya Yorgi? .. en la isla funciona Google Maps?.. Mil gracias Abrazo enomre
Hermosa! Tienes que visitarlo cuando regreses, es muy bonito en verdad. Se puede llegar caminando, la isla es relativamente pequeña aunque eso sí, en algunas zonas la caminata puede ser un poquito pesada porque hay subiditas (mini colinas) para ir a la parte más alta de la isla, pero el esfuerzo vale la pena totalmente. Si no, hay unas bicis eléctricas y unas personas te llevan hasta una mini plaza justo debajo de Aya Yorgi y de ahí caminas 1 km aproximadamente y llegas a la iglesia. Mil abrazos!
@@BeryIstanbulTips Mil gracias por hacerte tiempo para responderme...sigo armando mi próximo itinerario por Estambul mientras espero tu próximo video... Que tengas una excelente semana.
Hello, I’d like to ask you how long should I stay in istanbul, I’m planing a week trip in turkey and I would like to know whether I should just stay in instabul or visit other cities too ?
One week is nothing for Turkiye. You should better do only İstanbul. You need minimum 2 weeks to visit some high spots of Türkiye.
One nice thing about those islands there is no motor vehicle ( only bycle-horse cars and electric taxi)
As l know only vehicles are police-ambulance and fire)
Bat-tackle Privatboot and pay with you going with the big boat is too much people
Canim benim. Hartilar
prinkipo
I genuinely don't understand people who litter in these beautiful places. They come all this way to see something beautiful, and they decide to damage that beauty.
Is it safe to go to alone?
Super safe! 😉
Hi ,ty for beautiful video ,
I feel a bit lonely with you ,especially there is no people around you , I visited this island since 10 years ago when I was 18 , it was nice with people around me
And there was a young woman she was drawing people for 30 lira , I hoped she would draw me , but there was not enough money 😔, ty for reading , all the best
can we do horseback riding here ?
Why did you want to negotiate a cheaper rate of 15 lira than 30 lira for the bicycle? Don't you think 30 lira is a fair price especially since you get it for the entire day?
I wonder what nationality you are , are you Turk ?
Hello! No, I.m from Mexico :)
The hoarse buggies are not in bad condition, the horses suffer from malnutrition because the owners are poor. It didn’t used to be this way. I think they are banned now, actually. Too many Turks were in an uproar about the suffering of the horses..
Malnutrition is being in bad condition...
And yes, thank God the horse carriages are forbidden in the Princess’ Islands and now they are free as they should be 😍
Istanbul Kart is 5 liras? We paid in cash 10 liras each.
Istanbul card is 6 liras each. If you buy it from the machine and put 10 liras, machine doesn’t give change, 4 liras stays inside the card.
@@BeryIstanbulTips nope. we bought the ticket in cash. that's why perhaps.
@@BeryIstanbulTips we do not know there is machine for istanbulkart. Anyway, that was last year when we visited Turkey.
They screwed you up ahhah.
Lovely video gorgeous lady. Could you please let me know the current fare price of the cruise from Istanbul to Buyukada and back. Regards
Beautiful video. Thank you for mentioning to take your trash with you. Litterbugs are the worst creatures on the planet.
Mehrere was there today beautiful you have must to be go der for one night or tonight.de have Hotels to beautiful beautiful beautiful
So, you say don't use the horse carriages "for obvious reasons."
What do you think about the situation now?
All the horses were rounded up, many killed, because of a supposed disease outbreak.
Carriage drivers have no livelihood while all their animals rounded up and kept in a way that they are likely to get diseases.
Is too easy, if they want to get PEOFIT from animals then at least TAKE CARE OF THEM PROPERLY, feed them, give them water and the most important SOME REST in between long working hours ;).
They want all the profit without investing money on the horse’s health and check ups 🤷🏻♀️
And I will always state and support this idea: never use an animal for irresponsible touristic purposes because they are all abused.
I know about that outbreak, and my heart was broken but every time I go the islands I see them worse and worse even smaller in their size and already pulling heavy carriages full of tourists.
That’s why also the government could’ve given support to the horse owners because I’m sure not all have the money to invest in the animal’s health and they all have a family to support and put more regulations in order to use the horses and carriages.
And I’m happy for now that the horses cannot be used although just a few were kept just for the tourism after all what they suffered, MORE REGULATIONS MUST BE IMPOSED.
@@BeryIstanbulTips I love animals and hate to see them mistreated. But the characterization of all the carriage drivers on the island as horse abusers is pretty horrible, too. Many of them are...sorry were... Kurds from Eastern Turkey. They still had the culture and the knowledge about how to functionally use horses. Take that away and all you'll have is rich people horse culture, horses kept in stables away from the public. I suspect anti-Kurdish racism also plays into trying to get the public on board against the drivers.
Nice video, by the way. It took me back to the island. I've walked and rode a bike around the island many times. Your shots of the horses were also nice. You have some good shots of horses roaming around free. That's illegal now. They rounded them up, killed a hundred right away, and they are still keeping them cramped up in horrible conditions. Meanwhile, the horse drivers lost their way to make a living.
Do you prefer no horses to having a few asshole drivers?
Couldn't people have worked with the drivers to try to improve conditions without erasing horse carriages?
@@BeryIstanbulTips I'll agree to disagree with you. Sorry to troll you over this. I'm hearing about it from a friend who's lived on the island for many years. I'm a fan of horses and horse carriages. In America there are still quite a few horses pulling carriages. If that trade and knowledge about it disappears, I think the world loses something.
Sincerely, nice video. I love the island and I enjoyed watching your video.
good review
Thank you!
