  1. That’s nice food for tourists. I’ll take mid to small town eats any day. Affordable, fresh, and unique. Awesome country.

  2. Watching this on May 2, 2026. I left Istanbul for t4th time on April 2, 2026😊. If you have 9+ hours layover in Istanbul, you can join a free city tour , to the Blue mosque and Bazar or night Bospehorus cruise. The tour includes lunch or dinner, depending on the tour hours, details are on Turkish airline website

  3. Bütün dünya sultan derken aynı bizim telaffuzumuzla, bir tane saçma sapan dans grubu saltın diye telaffuz etti diye herkes bu şekilde kullanmaya başladı. Dolmabahçe müzesini gezdiren rehber bile saltın diye telaffuz ediyor.

  4. There is no diversity in İstanbul any more: we had Greeks, Armenians, Jew and levantines…the most of them are not living in Istanbul. In 1940’ wealth tax system has been introduced for only non-Muslim population, they were either had to pay extremely high taxes or whoever were not able to pay it they have been sent to labor camp in eastern Anatolia. Because of that most of the non-Muslim population sold their properties for very low amount and moved out from Turkiye! We lost that beautiful diversity, thus gentleman is talking about diversity! It is really shame…

  5. In Kuzguncuk, İsmet Baba’nın Yeri—known as Chez Ismet Baba—has been serving loyal customers for over 30 years with the same waiters, some of whom grew up there.
