This is the best video I've seen so far! I'm going to Istanbul in 2 weeks and haven't planned anything bc I've been so confused on all the videos and articles and tiktoks I've seen with recommendations, and this really narrowed it down so well with the pros and cons. Thank you!
Hi I am travelling to Istanbul and I was finding information about Istanbul restaurants ,bar and transportation and finally I can understand where to go in Istanbul thank you so much lots of love from Italy 🇮🇹
This video is Gold! Thank you girl !!
Love you Bery! I've been to magical Istanbul like ten times, one neighborhood I'd definitely recommend is charming Üsküdar (Asian Side, like dynamic Kadıköy). I love it there, the spectacular promenade by the Bosphorus, and also nearby wonderful Kuzguncuk, Çengelköy, Salacak, and Selimiye too! Super well connected by ferry and Marmaray, you get to Historical Peninsula, Karaköy, Kadıköy, Beşiktaş in 15-20 minutes for a very tiny fee! Overall, stay on the Asian Side guys! (4 days in Istanbul at the very least, 2 weeks - 1 month in Turkiye), go to Europe by ferry, it's amazing.
Any good hotels for Mrs and a 6 month old possibly with cot
Hi Bery as always lov ur videos have visited Istanbul on the 27th of June stayed for 10 days and fell I lov with the country. Stayed in the old city area street food was so tasty wil b coming back next Yr to capadocia & Antalya thank u so so much for your videos lov from UK
So helpful. Thanks for posting!
The best area is Shishane Beyoglu. It is 5 mins walking distance away from Istiklal and Galata and much less noisy than Galat . We stayed at Aspera Golden Horn and 3 of us shared a room with breakfast included for 6 nights and 7 days. It was quite affordable and metro station was right below our hotel. We put in 250 dollars each and did all our sightseeing including Topakkapi Galata Blue Mosque Hagia Sophia , transport and food in this budget. And we ate quite well including Nusrat and nice Places
Thank you so much for this video! going here soon :)
Very well organized and informative video. Thank you sooo much! I'm ready for my April trip there
Awesome and beautiful, thanks
Great videos thanks ☺️
Thanks so much for your wonderful videos and great tips. Greetings from Spain
super helpful - thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
Great tips
I love your videos. I thought I saw a transportation video you made in Istanbul? I am trying to find the least expensive ferry from the European side of Istanbul to Kadikoy. Thank you so much!
wonderful video... this was my first video to watch today..... thumbs up !
Thanks for the explanation. It was perfect. Have a great weekend 😍😍😍
Love the video, thank you ❤️looking forward to visit Istanbul again. Have you ever tought to do a Video about local markets? Greetings from Belgrade Serbia
Stay away from the turistic areas Istanbul is very well connected from anywhere that you stay, you will get to the main attractions with no problem (metro, bus, tram, ferries etc..) on the turistic areas is expensive a lot of tourist's traps, scams and the food is pricey and not that good, stay on the asian side to enjoy better food and affordable accomodations you thank me later
Exactly! I’d also choose the Asian side over the European, is great!
@@BeryIstanbulTips Any recommendations on good place to stay in Asian side. I need accommodation for a month (September)
@@harisghori3892 please do share your findings. I’m heading there in October
@@harisghori3892 I can tell you where not to stay, when you come from the ferry it's the left side of the main street, it's very dirty and the airbnbs i think are the same, at least mine was, i had to cut it short. Try in Moda but in my opinion the houses are boring, regular apartments with tiny windows. I think the european side is more interesting, especially Besiktas.
Pls share Asian side location and few hotel names can be helpful dear
Istanbul is undoubtedely amazing and watching your videos I love more and more Turkey. Thanks a lot for this beautiful and informative video.
Thank you for watching!
First of all thank you Bery. Great work.. I am planning 7/8 days trip in May'23 from India and started looking after your videos.
Need to cover all your videos as they are like encyclopedia for tourists to Turkey.
Good if you can provide any suggestions for solo traveler for 7/8 days .
This video helped me alot with my incoming holiday in Turkey.
Yeiiii! ❤️❤️
Vet useful and good videos. Thanks a lot!
I have been fortunate enough to visit Istanbul a few times. This video is 100% accurate and you have done a fantastic job describing all these neighborhoods and their pros and cons. My preferred location is an airbnb on the rainbow steps (where you filmed). I also appreciate that fact that you left out Nişantaşı and similar areas that can be considered impractical for the average tourist. I will be referring your videos to all my friends who want to visit Istanbul.
Thank you! I was going to add Harbiye, part of Şişli or Nışantaşı bur exactly for that reason we left them out, those are nice areas BUT not practical for first time visitors.
Excellent info. Just for clarification: from Istanbul airport, coaches are available to Kadikoy?
Glad i found your videos. Vusiting istanbul in a few weeks. Taking the overnight train from Bulgaria, Sofia. Reading reviews of hotels. Tbey sound scary
Great video,, very informative,,, my family will travel to turkiye in april 2024...thanks, tessekuler, gracias, from Indonesia
Thank you Bery! Your channel is amazing it’s a shame I found it out late! I’m still looking through your videos so I’m not sure but I have one question. I’m planning a trip to Izmir then Istanbul; do you have any videos on where to stay in Izmir? Or can you recommend any channel where I can find it?
I stayed in the Galata and Taksim areas last month. I absolutely loved those areas. But it is true that there is a lot of night life there. We were walking in Istikal street at about 1 am and it felt like it was broad daylight. There are so many people, young and old, still enjoying themselves at that time. So if nightlife is your thing, I definitely recommend those areas. Besides, transportation is very good from those areas. And if you are brave enough, you can even do some execise and walk to the historical pennisula from there. It's actually not too far away, and you can get to know the city even better.
Absolutely true! Thanks for sharing your experience with all, it’s very useful ❤️
Wonderful video.... Soo much details... Wow
Who needs antalya while u can easily get sea of Marmara beaches in Avcilar.
Awesome place.far from noisy tourist areas.
Transport system is good as well
I stayed in Besiktas for a month, it was a bit of walking from the center but i started to like it, and the most i liked was that there are no tourists in Besiktas, it's only you and the locals. Now i'm staying again for a week but closer to the center, so my advice is wherever you stay, stay closer to the center of that area but not inside. And the prices are good, no tourist traps. I also stayed for a month in Buyukada, it was brilliant but is not practical for a tourist.
Very relevant for me because I'll be in Istanbul next month.
Welcome to 🇹🇷🎉
Very useful information and I’m still thinking to travel to Istanbul since a week already but still can’t decide 😬
I stayet in Cihangir & Balat,it was great too, quiet and close to important places ^^
Suggestion on where to stay if I'm just looking for a relaxed coffee at a cafe, local spice/markets, turkish bath/hamam type experience? Not into nightlife maybe I'll go do the touristy stuff one day but mostly just the slow paced and relax vibe. It will be my first time to Istanbul.
Maybe Cihangir in the European side or Kadikoy Asian side especially around Moda, full of nice cafes and a laidback environment plus very local.
Istanbul is not known for its beaches but you can actually find decent ones (with shower and sunbeds/umbrellas) if you go to certain isle which is accessible from Kadikoy port. I stayed at a hotel close to the port for only 200tly/day and liked it. Well, it wasn't the largest room you can find for that price but I am not too picky and the location was worth it.
Hi. Can i know the name of the hotel pls?
Name of the hotel pls
greetings from thessaloniki very helpfull video thank you
Great video 😊📸
Thank you for watching!
Let me tell you my experience in Istanbul. Stayed in The Story Hotel Pera in Karakoy. You can literally smell the history and feel the ottoman soul there. Staff was extremely helpful and kind,they will guide you for everything. Location is at the heartbeat of Istanbul. You can get anywhere easily. All the taste worthy restaurants you need is near. What else would you expect ? (:
I stayed in Taksim but yeah it was so touristy and noisy, not really my preference. But I like Uskudar and maybe will stay around Kuzguncuk or Çengelkoy in my next trip💕
Thanks for the great videos. We coming in September for about 9 days and want to stay in multiple parts of the city. If you had to choose three where would you suggest? How long dose the ferry take to get from Kadikoy to say Karakoy?
Going to Turkey this November! Can’t wait!
Yeahhh! Me too!
Me also!
We stayed at Pera Palace… didn’t know they had a Museum inside until we saw the Netflix show
Wow beautiful.
Hello Bery. Could you please describe in few words the difference to stay for few days in Karakoy X Sirkesi X Galata X Arkisin ? Thank you very much !
I plan on staying for a month. What do you recommend? Great videos thank you
Felicitaciones por tus vídeos muy buena producción y contenido , comencé mi canal de viajes hace poco y espero ir pronto a Turquía 🇹🇷 me encantaría conocerte y poder grabar contigo . Soy chileno y comencé mi viaje por el mundo un abrazo y tienes un nuevo seguidor 🤗
Hi Bery! I’m a huge fan of your channel and I’ve been to Istanbul already twice. I actually want to stay in Istanbul for about a month next summer and I want to rent a place. Can you recommend websites in English where I can possibly rent some properties? Thanks a lot! 😁
Hi Ray! Thank you so much for watching us! Maybe you can check on Sahibinden.com, if you look through your laptop, you can even get en English version. Another place is Airbnb, that one never fails and you’re more protected thanks to the platform especially when it comes to short-term rentals :)
Muito lindo!
Great video as always,
I heard that for the best local experience and local restaurants that is more affordable , stay io the Asian side, kadikoy?
Thanks
Yes, it is a great options for those who want to experience local side of Istanbul 😊
Hey I'm moving in November with family and Istanbul is our first priority. Which neighbourhood do you suggest? Our budget is 5000 to 6000 TL
After long time, Bery. How are you? My famous place to live is near Galata Tower. Thanks for your videos.
Hello! Finally we’re back with a new video 🎉🎉
Hi
Bayramımız mübarek olsun
We love your videos
We are planning to come to Istanbul in October and plan to stay Peradays Kamer Hatun Mah. Hamalbasi Cad. 32, Beyoglu
Will this be a good location for a family who wants to stay away from the noise?
Also, what kind of temperature will be there in Oct
Thank you so much
Keep up the good work
Hello, I love your videos...I like to visit Istanbul for the 1st time may be between end of December - early January this year (will try to convince my family of FIVE with 3 older teen girls?!)! Question I think you did not cover in this video (if you covered already, please let me know with a link?) is how much CASH you need to carry? Or most touristic area accept Visa/MC too? Thanks!
I’m coming this year and worried about the hotel I chose Raymond blue note there’s mixed reviews but I feel like it’s the same for all I’ve checked in Istanbul
What area would you recommend a Conservative family to stay for a year or more. Somewhere with nice modern apartments and parks for kids.
It's a nice video.. I will go to visit Istanbul for 5 days and 4 nights, any recommend which area I should stay in? Thanks in advance.
Hey bery.Good content here,wher would you recommend to stay for someone traveling sole and intend to do some site seeing and shopping? Reasonable prices
Hi. What do you think of staying in Atasehir for the first time visitor visiting Istanbul for 5 days please? Or is it better to chose a hotel in European side? Thank you
Hello sister, I have seen many of your videos. They are so informative. we are planning to visit turkey this September… please help me to know which is better to buy “Istanbul tourist pass” or “Istanbul kart and museum pass”… we will be visisting Istanbul and capadoccia and we will stay for 10 days… pls help me…. I saw you used kart and museum pass. But many people say to have a tourist pass… I am so confused . Hope you will help
Love your guides. I'm heading to Istanbul next month. Would you be able to share whats the average price of a metro & ferry ride? The price of the Istanbulkart and if there is any credit in the card when purchasing it? Appreciate it!
We have videos on those topics, you can check the rest of our videos on our channel.
Istanbul is an amazing place to visit one of my favorite cities. It’s perfect for shopping for objects around the home. But these a lot of people who don’t treat tourists very nice & force you to buy things. It’s the cheapest city I’ve ever been to.
Bery, I just noticed that you look like America's famous interior designer, ALISON VICTORIA. You both look gorgeously alike!
Te recomiendo especialmente
The Poem Hotel
Ideal para parejas muy cerca de los sitios de interés, pero reservado y tranquilo. Estuvimos 5 días en Mayo 2022 en Estambul celebrando nuestro 30º aniversario
Excelente recomendación! 🎉🎉
It's depends where you want to stay ?
What place is good for food?
Bravo turkiye
🇹🇷🎉
I've found your videos about Istanbul really helpful. Thanks! I subscribed and liked.
I just arrived today and had a great experience on Turkish Airlines. What I haven't had a great experience with is my Air BnB accom. It's pretty grimy, the shower dribbles more than showers, the towels smell of mildew, etc. I don't need or want a fancy place, that's why I usually book an Air BnB. My question (if you or any viewers wanna weigh in) is, is the standard of AirBnB's in Istanbul not great? I'm paying the equivalent of $70.00 USD a night. Maybe I'm getting what I paid for (and lesson learned), or did I just get unlucky with this place? Anyone? And one more question: I know not to drink the tap water, but can I use it to wash dishes? Thanks (and sorry for taking up so much space here...)
Going to Istanbul with wife and 2 kids, staying for 6 days. Where will you say is the best area to stay?? thank you.
I am visiting Istanbul this August and I have booked an Airbnb in Atasehir. Is that a good location? I am staying in Istanbul for about 3 weeks.
Hii Nice video
Thank for watching!
Hello Bery. I am confuse about 2 areas to stay. Galata X Arksin. Is Galata locate on a hill ? Thank you !
Can you use Google maps to find public transport trips etc?
Hi
What about staying at Sirinevler? As in some CZcams videos, they're recommending. Please suggest
If you plan of saying long-term, why not. But if you come just as a tourist/short term traveler, then is not a suitable area since is not near the city center, it has good public transportation but it can take a while to get to the center.
Any recommendation hotel in Asian side that not up road or down road (I mean on flat road.)?
Hi Miss, could you make a video about Turkish Lira Crisis and how its impacts Tourist spending habits there?
Better to carry only TRY or we still need to carry back up currency like EUR / USD to get exchange there?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Mediana! We already have it in mind, as soon as we come back from our 2 week holiday abroad we’ll work on it 🎉
@@BeryIstanbulTips Wow thank you. Can't wait for the exciting content. Happy Holiday 💜💜💜
@@BeryIstanbulTips
And, can you please give us updated information regarding the maximum cash that we could bring to Turkey in 2022 after TRY Crisis?
I searched and many articles gave different informations.
Some say maximum equally USD 5,000
and some say maximum only TRY 25,000.
@@MedianaDhea You should definitely not exchange the money outside Turkey, they'll scam you guaranteed. And where are you coming from? Nobody ever asked me how much money i have.
Am curious about outside Istanbul suburbs far far away from touristic areas. The end corners of istanbul
I am going to Istanbul with my 2 year old baby, he will be in the stroller/pushchair. Where should I stay? How is moving around the city with the stroller/pushchair like? Do metro, buses and cruise ship tours have space for pushchairs/strollers? Or do taxi come with baby car seat upon request? Please give advise.
Taxis will not have a baby seat so you must have yours of you want to use it. Other public transportation are all suitable for strollers.
Just some streets might be a bit difficult with a stroller especially those around Galata, or the old peninsula, especially Eminonu.
Hola, cómo me gustaría volver a Estambul y visitar otras zonas más locales y menos turistas!!!!!!!
Estambul te espera con los brazos abiertos! ❤️🇹🇷
I'm heading to Istanbul in December any cheap places around,away from scams and pricey stuff,thank you
We explained it on the video :)

Where would you recommend staying for someone who is solo travelling for the first time?
It depends on YOUR preferences and your type of travel, this video explains each area with pros and cons.
Hopefully It’s help me to get a good place to stay in Istanbul ... I am prepared to be there by 1st week of August, 2022. Let’s guide me 🙂 if you can ! Or did you do it on payment?

Hi. Very informative video. I'm planning to visit Istanbul with my family in April this year.
In terms of affordability and safety which area is better to stay- Taksim, Galata or Cihangir??
A reply would be much appreciated.
I'm going end of April too, confused about where to stay. Do you know if the weather will be warm/cold? Do I need to pack warm clothes too?
Besiktas or Kadikoy
I booked in Sultanahmet because i have a one year old and i dont want us mostly traveling from one place to another. Which place do u suggest? Sultanahmet or Kadikoy?
I prefer Kadikoy over Sultanahmet but all depends on what you are looking for.
Do they have any gentleman club in Istanbul?
I great video. But what area do you recommend for someone that has come to Istanbul for shopping.e.g: malls, affordable clothing stores and nice restaurant
Try Kadiköy,it is well connected and everything is cheaper than on the European side.
Love ur videos, I have learn soo much I am planning to visit Stambul, would you b interested in being our guide, me and my friend planning to visit Turkey ❤️
Can you tel me how to travel cheap Istanbul to cappadocia and how? And do you know any agent for hot air balloon?
Sure. We have these other videos about Cappadocia and the hot air balloons, you can watch them, they’ll help you with all of the info needed:

@@qclicks_5646 I would visit Buyukada island. It's a quiet and beautiful place. Lots of places to eat, walk and simply enjoy beautiful nature.
@@olala604 thanks
👍👍👍
What about staying in Bakirkoy for for first time visit as a tourist for 6 days?
I wouldn’t stay there as a first timer but as long as you stay near the Marmaray line you could probably reach the main areas like Sultanahmet in 30 min but you’ll spend quite a lot of money just in transportation (about 20 TL per person just for the Marmaray one way). So keep that in mind.
@@BeryIstanbulTips thank you - and does metro operate during certain hours or is 24/7?
Please is Maltepe a good place to stay in Istanbul??
I live in Maltepe (Küçükyali) just next to Bostanci and is amazing! I love it here and by the sea side too, so try to stay closer to the sea side. There is also a Marmaray station that connects you in minutes to the European side like Sirkeci (close to Sultanahmet) and Yenikapi (to connect to Taksim for example).
@@BeryIstanbulTips Thank you so much for this. I actually got admitted to İstinye üniversitesi in Maltepe thats why i was asking because I'll be coming over in few weeks time.
