    Please remember, for Turkish people on low incomes relying on lira, these prices are ridiculously expensive for them, so when your over here on holiday you can help businesses by spending all your money :), eat out often🤣 and tip the workers if you can afford 🙏🙋‍♀️🥰

    I went to Turkey after Greece and found the food more varied and incredibly delicious. I went to non tourist areas, taking buses sort of randomly, and they usually had me go into the kitchen and point to what I wanted. A delight.

    Love your videos. My wife and I used to stay at calis beach for a month at a time. We loved it. We would rent a car and go out touring and stayed in many of the places you have highlighted. You have inspired me to come back to Turkey in the autumn (sadly my wife has passed away) subject to covid, my aim is to buy a sailing yacht and maybe an apparment. We promised ourselves that we would retire to calis beach, I feel compelled to fulfil our dreams even though I will have to do this solo. The Turkish people are so friendly and helpful. I only have positive experiences. Please keep up the great work you both do. 👍

    Just give me Iskender Kebab and I am happy. I prefer places where there is a constant demand (mostly for doner kebab) that would keep the shaver busy continuously shaving the meat off the rotating rack. They are usually at the busy market place.

    On two separate trips to Istanbul, both about 10 days, every single meal was remarkable. I went back three times to one place, 'Çukur Meyhane' (near the Galatasaray school) - because the food was so good, it almost brought tears to my eyes (maybe it was the Raki?). And for profiteroles (cream puffs in fudge sauce), a famous place called 'Inci' - I almost couldn't speak after one bite of those. I don't usually want desserts, but I had two big portions. I love the tea, of course, and drank the fresh orange juice all day long- I grew up on orange juice in California, and Turkish orange juice is like a taste of heaven. The best part is that the food was so fresh and nutritious as well- I feel so healthy when I am there, even if I eat too much! Yes, this video was a little bit of torture, but thank you!!!

    Excellent video. As a foreigner looking at new places in the world,I am always thinking “ This place looks beautiful I wonder how affordable is it? Whether it be Hotels,eating out or the prospect of real estate in the case on contemplating a relocation.
    Unfortunately for most people in the world cost of living whether it be for a holiday or a permanent move is an important consideration.
    Thanks again for the wonderful work you both do.

    Actually it is a little bit strange , although the lira has lost of its value over the last 8 years but still the prices are cheap, it means Turkey business are not changing the local prices according to the exchange rate , and as I can see still you are receiving the same quality of service and the same quality of food. Any other country if the exchange rate will drop then immediately the goods prices and services will go up to compensate the difference in the exchange rate. If the Goods and service prices are not going up then maybe that is why life is as usual for Turkish people. I can understand that any thing that is imported from outside Turkey definitely will go up , but luckily a wonderful country like Turkey has every thing.

      "Any other country if the exchange rate will drop then immediately the goods prices and services will go up to compensate the difference in the exchange rate" No, it depends on how much said country relies on import to provide its services and products. If your locals foods are imported, the price will hike up as inflation hits and the national coin devalues because international trading becomes more expensive to the country in question. Turkey is one of the few self sufficient countries on the planet because of their extremely rich farm land and good soil, they simply don't rely on foreign trade for food so their food market isn't affected as much as a country who relies on importation to feed its people.
