    We recently booked a flight to Europe on Turkish Airlines that included a 21 hour layover in Istanbul. This video shares our journey on our long haul flight to Europe and our thoughts about if an Istanbul stopover is worth it.

    LOVE ISTANBUL!!!!! One of my favorites cities in the world that I've visited!!! Great video!!!! I stayed 4 days on my layover without affecting my ticket price. But that was around 10 years ago.

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 8 měsíci

      Wow that's amazing. I would LOVE a 4 day layover here. I think that'd be enough time to really enjoy the city without the hassle and jet lag. What a wonderful experience you must have had!

    Yes. It's 13 and a half hours from miami. That's a long day. Spend a day or 2. It's really cool. Coffee can raise the dead. Food is very good and it's got lots of sites to see and relax in.

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 8 měsíci

      Yes, I want to return in the future for sure!

    I loved walking around at night with all the lights and shops. Very lively city!

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 8 měsíci

      It was indeed. And when the call to prayer happens at night it's very romantic and magical.

      Yes, the RV can't take us across the pond 😅

    @garretlewis4103 Před 8 měsíci

    Probably a good deal if you only want to do or see one thing during the layover. Safe journeys guys.

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 8 měsíci

      Yeah Looking back we should have taken the tour instead of the hotel room.
      Oh well, next time. -D

    Visa you can get it at the airport once you arrive for $30. Online is $50 ❤

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 6 měsíci

      We've been told the canceled the visa at the airport option since covid.

    Hi, thanks for the video. Can you tell us more about transportation around their Uber Lyft taxis? Or to avoid.. also, Turkish Airlines overnight layover program. How was that?

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 4 měsíci

      We had to take a taxi. Uber is new there and not well connected. It said we could get an Uber but it was the same as a taxi and we would have had to wait a long time. I recommend taxis.

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 4 měsíci

      Also did you watch the video? It's literally a review of our Turkish airlines layover and if we think it's worth it...

    • @bobsmith9938
      @bobsmith9938 Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks yes I did watch the video, must’ve missed it.. good to know about the taxis and Uber as I’ve seen and heard it’s all very bad for scams. Them dropping you off stranded, charging double cash on top of what you’ve already paid, etc. Also viewed some public transportation videos and those seem to make more sense than dealing or taking a chance on taxis or Uber there. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.

    Confused 😮 what happened to the house you bought in Florida?

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 8 měsíci

      It's there waiting on us to return. We had these trips booked before we bought it.

  • @gvpino
    @gvpino Před 3 měsíci

    how did you get your visa? I keep seeing for less than 24 hours you are exempt?

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 3 měsíci

      The website says if you stay in the airport you are fine. Less than 24 hours on a cruise you are fine. But if you're flying and leave the airport even for a few hours you need the visa.
      I have heard they're changing the visa in 2024. So maybe that's the change? Just check the site and the airlines site!

    No offense, but the flat brim cap is not that flattering. Drop it!
