I've lived 9 years in the city and it is sad that restaurants in istanbul serve that less with the dishes. In small cities, you can find incredibly rich tables are served with main dish for a cheaper price. One iskender kebap and freely served keşkek, çiğ köfte, butter, cheese, hot bread, but not in Istanbul. I am glad I left there, just the traffic alone worth it.
Yes, Istanbul is no longer the affordable city it once was unfortunately. I too have lived there for 4 years, I love it, but it was getting so hard to survive I left. I still love to return to enjoy it from time to time.
Ishkender is my favorite also. But everything is expensive everywhere these days. Just spent several days there after spending a year in Thailand. Have spent maybe 6 months in Turkey, so far!
Come to London , you find out what expensive is, Enjoyed the tour, I spent 18 months on Crete during covid the winters in that part of the med can be brutal .
What time of day were you there? As i t looks like here today by me so overcast it was at 10am looks like is 5pm here lol. Looks fab there, soory thyo it started to rain later on! God Bless
Hi Dear Marci, it was midday when I started out and 2pm something by the time I got home. Yes very dark and gloomy. I think think this winter is gonna be cold 🥶
Yeah the cost of living has gone up so much everywhere. It’s definitely a good meal, turkey has some of the world’s best food for sure. Thanks for watching 🙏
Hello, I am a Turk living in Turkey. Right now, we Turks think that Turkey is very expensive and that there is very high inflation in Turkey. What do you think?
Yes, absolutely 👍 the inflation and prices are extremely high in Türkiye. I was living there in 2021 when exchange rate to usd was 8-14 TL. Then I left because everything was becoming expensive. Now I return and the rate to USD is 34 TL. That’s just crazy especially for Turkish people. I’m so sad that is happening because I love Turkey and its people. To pay 160TL for kashsar tost to me is ridiculous, and there are many more examples. Thank you for watching teshekkur ederim.

Great seeing Istanbul again! But bad luck with the weather!
Yeah thanks 🙏 the weather hasn’t been good at all. And feels like -3 today the app says 🥶
My daily stop from the hotel to exploring town was to pick up a balik ekmek at the bridge :)
Yes those fish sandwiches are SO popular and I gather super nice 👍 The water for a big city harbour is surprisingly clean too. Thanks for watching ❤️

Yes, Turkey is a great place. And you're right everything is getting very expensive everywhere these days. Glad to have you with us Deb.
