Absolute Cinema 👏
Türkiye is one of the most fascinating places in the world

@@Fididesp2 sen turkmusun
Exactly
Iam from France 🇫🇷 ivist turkey 🇹🇷 2022 its very beautiful its mixed between historical and modern ❤
Also Asia and Europe literally and culturally
What a cinematic city 📸
Every single view in this city is like a movie!
I miss Türkiye 🥹
İm foreigner living in Istanbul for almost three years. Everything is beautiful in Istanbul. But you should try to travel in the black sea regions and center Anatolia. İt's absolutely amazing.❤
Constantinople*
The shot of the men praying in haggia sofia made me so emotional
Can't wait to visit Türkiye after watching your video! Superb!!🙌
Ülkemiz tüm güzelliği ile sizleri bekliyor..
Great video! I plan on going to Istanbul next week. I’m very excited!
How was it??? 😂
enjoy it (:
Türkiye'den sevgiler.❤
Çekimler çok hoş.
Ülkemizi bu şekilde tanıtıp gösterdiğin için teşekkür ederiz. 🇹🇷❤
Your narration reminds me the great poet of İstanbul, Orhan Veli. Every single Turkish citizen knows by heart his poem "I'm listening to İstanbul with closed eyes". Your narration, describing İstanbul's unique tranquility in its chaos somehow catches the poet's point.
I AM LISTENING TO ISTANBUL
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed:
At first there is a gentle breeze
And the leaves on the trees
Softly sway;
Out there, far away,
The bells of water-carriers unceasingly ring;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
Then suddenly birds fly by,
Flocks of birds, high up, with a hue and cry,
While the nets are drawn in the fishing grounds
And a woman’s feet begin to dabble in the water.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
The Grand Bazaar’s serene and cool,
An uproar at the hub of the Market,
Mosque yards are full of pigeons.
While hammers bang and clang at the docks
Spirng winds bear the smell of sweat;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
Still giddy from the revelries of the past,
A seaside mansion with dingy boathouses is fast asleep.
Amid the din and drone of southern winds, reposed,
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
A pretty girl walks by on the sidewalk:
Four-letter words, whistles and songs, rude remarks;
Something falls out of her hand -
It is a rose, I guess.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
A bird flutters round your skirt;
On your brow, is there sweat? Or not ? I know.
Are your lips wet? Or not? I know.
A silver moon rises beyond the pine trees:
I can sense it all in your heart’s throbbing.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
As a Turk, i've never heard of it.

@@sevdadaglar Hi! I 's born overseas- not in Turkiye- studied overseas but still know Orhan Veli. Even one of my teachers at school who has been to Turkiye told me about this poem - she knew the verses.
@@sevdadaglar lise son öğrencisiyim. 1 ay sonra mezun oluyorum. 9 da covid vardı lise yoktu 10 11 umursamadim 12 nin yarısında gitmedim. Lise benim için hapishane gibi geçti. Yurtdisinda okuyacağımdan dolayı yks ile alakam yok bu sebeple dersleri dinlemedim
As a Turk, I like your video, especially the shots and your music choices, it gives it a nice vibe. I can say that I'm starting to get a bit obsessed about it because other youtubers make really bad music choices for Turkiye. This creates a different image for Turkiye in a bad way.
Most marvelous city that hides tons of ancient secrets.
Cinematic: perfect word to describe this city; I felt like I was in a movie there. Found that same menemen spot via TripAdvisor.
Şimdiye kadar izlediğim en iyi İstanbul videosu olabilir.
Kendi şehrimi bu kadar iyi anlattığınız için teşekkür ederim.
Muhteşem çekimler ve şahane anlatım...
Soluksuz izledim.
Teşekkürler.
👋👋👋👋👋
I was there last April 1 to April 5...Now I am missing it more. Will be back sometime soon.
We will welcome you with open Arms 👋🏻

Oh man, I actually teared up at the end!! You say you're not good with words, but that's not true, you have the loveliest commentary with information on where you are and your own opinion formulated poetically, it feels like I am there too!
The sunsets are really incredible there. So dreamy and feels like the center of the world.
Really magical. Thank you for sharing, excited about part 2!!
Istanbul IS the Center of the World :)
👍💯%
Exactly.. 😀
Oh I think I fell in love with İstanbul 😍
Man oh Man... this is a documentary not a vlog. Really good shots and choice of background music.
Best video ever about Istanbul... Thank you for recording all these beauties. Istanbul deserve being top 1. city for tourists. Paris London New York Pekin Bangkok not even close..
I’ve seen so many Turkey travel videos. Yours is professionally produced and enjoyable to watch.
I like that you’re concentrating on the food and destination rather than yourself
So many videos are all about the people posing on their channels.
Thank you for this 👏
As a citizen from Istanbul, i must admit that, these are all beautiful footages. Very well and professionally shooted. Well done !
My partner and I discovered your videos a few months ago, and we've been in awe of them ever since. You're truly an expert at both describing and showing the many wonders in the world around you. These videos are such a treat! Also, you really do have a way with words. Thank you for sharing such beautiful sights. Wishing you both safe travels!
This vlog is definitely my favourite I’ve been researching on Istanbul since 4 years as I want to visit this city since sooo long but never made it to Istanbul due to different reasons every time . But this vlog made me book my ticket rn. Love & Support from Pakistan. ❣️🇵🇰
Hope you enjoy your trip too!
Been there last September. You could still visit the Hagia Sophia for free.
This was nice, cause we’ve been inside four times that week. Just to sit and enjoy the history
Artık turistler için ucretlendirildi
Türkiye çok güzel harikalarla dolu bir ülke. İstanbul ise efsane bir şehir.❤
Loved the visuals and the cinematography! You just made me more excited for my upcoming trip to Istanbul
Thank you very much for visiting our country and our people. I hope you are satisfied. Hope to see you and valuable travelers like you in better days.❤❤
10:38 that cat was chilling relaxing like she had no tension no problem sat peaceful 😊
What a nice video, very well done! I was captivated by your cinematography. The itinerary was also quite good for a four-day trip. Godspeed!
Well, normally you wouldn't put bulghur into the lavash wrap. Just the meat itself in lavash is perfectly fine. If you want, you can also complement the meat with just a little bit of onions with sumac and some parsley. If you also think of adding some tomato and pepper in there, just order a kebab wrap instead.
In general, you should buy simit from bakeries, not from the street vendors. Simit is only good when it's fresh and you are much more likely to find a fresh simit in a bakery. There, you can also find the other, softer "bakery style simit" in addition to the "street style simit".
Perfect narrative! It was the best individual CZcams video about Istanbul that I've ever watched. I always admire people who respect and showcase the effort behind what they do, no matter what it is. I look forward to watching your other videos as well.
Love your travel vlog style! You definitely know how to keep the viewer engaged and you give excellent feedback/comments on your activities! Glad you enjoyed Istanbul, I'll never forget how magical I felt it as a tourist there my first time :)
I'm blown away by your edits! Really love it! I also have a video of my solo trip to Istanbul but my edits are nothing compared to yours. Although I would agree with what you shared in this video -- Istanbul is surreal! It is a good blend of old and new. 😊
Absolutely stunning even for me as a local. The way you brought all your experiences is even better, without any exaggeration of anything. Thank you :)
As a Turk I’m very proud with my Country also I’m very proud being a Muslim and every nation in the world they should be proud of their culture piece in the world not hate ❤❤❤❤
stunning Istanbul videos Mate!!
Thanks bro, you should visit too someday! Highly recommended.
Great shots my fiend. I am happy that you had a good time in Istanbul.
Welcome to my country,I hope you have great time. Thanks for the video.🙏❤️
@5:13 you should eat only with vegetables like onion and maybe pepper but please eat the rice seperatly next time. Thanks for your visit.
I am a little conservative about subscribing to new channels, but immediately subscribed after seeing the first video. I would like to see more of these beautiful shots and telling from around the world, thank you
Also I am happy that you liked my city, I think it is a special place where it reflects every corner of the world combined together
jesus christ why do you have such few subscribers? this video was awesome! i really liked that you expressed your opinions freely, many travel vloggers just boast everything they see, your criticism of the food, etc. was quite refreshing.
Thank you for explaining Turkiye so beautifully. Once again I was proud of my country!🌸🌸🌸
And you said it right its "magical city”❤
You should try the baklava in karakoy gulluoglu, there are lots good restaurants as well as sub-par restaurants in istanbul, thats why I advise you to use google reviews before going to eat at a place. It might be a bit more pricey in nicer places but you would get a better food experience especially on kebabs - doners and baklava, since they need to be good quality to enjoy.
damn, so beautifuly shot! my utmost respect to you!
Wow, this was amazing! Thank you!!!
I love Istanbul! Thanks for the video!
this channel is so underrated love your videos
Best Istanbul Vlog ever!!!!
So mesmerizing! I felt like I was there with you guys! Good job!👍🏻
This is so beautifully shot and so well comemtated ! I really apprciate your work!
Wow, well done. Really enjoyed watching the video.
great shots and commentary. keep up the good work.
I cant belive how beautiful this vlog is. Its unbeliveble.
Great video and script! Can't wait for Part 2.
That's so cinematic! You've made it so good. Also you should see the other cities of Turkiye...
Awesome video again! This is documentary travel show level, the cinematography, music, commentary, storytelling. The sunsets look straight out of a movie. I've never been to Turkey before, and would love to visit someday. This video just put it on my bucket list.
Seriously, a TV channel should hire you to shoot. (but of course, I'm grateful for the free youtube content haha 😁)
Thank you so much! The CZcams videos will keep coming, but to any TV channels out there who wants to collaborate, I would love to 😎🤣
As a native of Istanbul, I am happy that your visit was satisfying 🥰
This is the best Istanbul vlog I've seen!
I randomly came across your video. But i have to say, fantastic work! You catched the vibe of our pearl of a city magnificently. Gained a sub and a thumbs up bro.
Istanbul is my favorite city.
OMG, this is so masterpiece ! Its so great !!
Very well produced - enjoyed watching it.
Not only Istanbul, but all of Türkiye is magical and wonderful in every aspect. 🪄💗 Thank you very much for your explanation and shots.🫶🏻
Doğuda çok güzel bir Doğa, doğal ve tarihi güzellikler var araştırmanızı öneririm @@halflifeTV

You are actually very good with words! Great video, thank you for uploading! 😊
Hi brother, you need at least 10 days for Istanbul, 4 days not enough :) Asian side, Prince Islands, Kadikoy, Uskudar, Kuzguncuk, Camlica hill so many... you should come back again!
We spent another 3 days on the Asian side! Part 2 coming 🔜 😊
