thank you!
Great 👍🏼 video; very well explained. Thank you for sharing & blessings to you both 🙏🏼🙏🏼. Thank you for all the tips & tricks you gave us Olga.
many thanks...very well-organized report!
I'm back from Alanya two weeks ago and as a couple we booked apartment. This was a fabulous choose for us. In Alanya bus ticket per person was 11.25TRL in one way. Independent which beach are you choose, for two sunbeds and umbrella price was between 50 to 75TRL. Taxi was always with meters and was not very expensive, one minus was the drivers don't know English and we have problems with told them when we want to go, but always is some bigger shop or area which they know. We lived near to Metro shop in Alanya. BTW , great for shopping. we love Turkey and we will back in next year. The weather was amazing 🤩 hot hot hot and sunny ☀️☀️☀️
I love your videos. They amazing. Thank you
Merci beaucoup Olga pour tout ses renseignements ❤🌎🇧🇪
This is quite helpful. Thank you
Your Videos are very good.Thank you Olga.
Thank you Olga for another informative video on the curent prices . Being from the USA the prices still are amazing and right now I'm in Canada and the prices are 1/3 of the prices here !! Keep the great videos coming ..Thank you again !!

Thankyou soooooo... Much dear really wounderful video you cover almost every aspect even a first time travelers will have no problem after seeing this video thanks a lot once again God bless you both 💐💐💐💐💐
Flying to Antalya in 3 days because I thought October was the best time. Public transportation is a little scary but the vid helps a lot. Explaining transport cards, apps to help, etc
Thank you Olga. I really appreciate your help guys in explaining things in your video. I was in Alanya in 2019 and I am planning to go there and to Antalya before the end of the year. Your information is very informative as i faced allot of issues especially when It come to communication.
Glad it was helpful!
Great information
Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏
Enjoyed this video too, thanks. Very helpfull . 🙏📸🌞🌞🍹🍹🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thank you🌹
I used to use the small buses that you can just hop on and off
Good informative video! One thing missing was the possibility of using intercity busses which is less expensive than rental cars and less stressful once you find the terminal and buy the tickets (knowing a little Turkish helps). In June 2022, I took a bus from Izmir to Cesme for 50 TL (about 3 USD) one way.
thanks! yes, buses can a be very convenient way of traveling in Turkey
Olga - there is a tramline from Istanbul airport to the city centre now?
Beautiful
How often do you upload? Recently started watching these videos and they are so good.
We upload every week 😊
How about the bank card in ATM?is it available for all "visa" written in the card?
Great
Hola hermoso país me gustan sus videos
Great 👍 👌 👍
Was weer en leuke informatieve film. I❤ iT! Vraag hoe zit het met een fiets huren in Lara / Antalya?
Thanks! here you can find out about bikes th-cam.com/video/sZilz_S86fw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again
Good
I didn't quite understand how you bought a ticket. Can I buy a card for a fee in advance and then top up the credit on it? Do I tell the driver where I'm traveling and attach the card? I don't know any world language, I always use google translate.
Looking forward for my vacation in Turkey I have only heard positive feedback
Have a great holiday!
@@OlgaProGoingPlaces I will
You are so good Olga....planning to visit in march......is this going to be cold or hot...again thanks a lot.
Im going in March, weather averages 41-54 f, chilly
Nice
What is the weather like during the end of April? (20th April-27th April)
Where is the best place to exchange money? I have heard doing ATM, you have bad exchange rates
Turkey went March, July, sept in last 7 years now trying Dec will be cooler but a nice hotel and we had a horrific heat wave June to August 22 in UK hotter than Turkey killed people so looking forward to cool I like 5 star fully inclusive still go in and out taxi bus
Will book trips online before go
Like to be spoilt as work really hard in UK
Hi how much money can I bring with me, the maximum that is allowed at the airport
To be completely honest, I feel as though foreigners are no longer wanted in beautiful Turkey. Laws have changed making it very difficult. My entire retirement plan was halted because of this. Just be prepared for things to change quickly, because they typically do.
I lived in Istanbul for a total of 9 years over the period 2000-2019, but life in Turkey got steadily worse for both locals and foreigners during those years. Lower salaries, higher prices, worse economy, more and more traffic, and stricter and stricter rules for residence permits for Europeans (originally, leaving the country every 90 days and coming back was enough) Istanbul is not at all the city it used to be, and I have moved on. So glad I lived and travelled there 20-22 years ago!
Unfortunately I have a similar feeling, but I think it is everywhere right now actually, wen the situation in the world gets worse, people become less tolerant to others unfortunately
@@mariawerner8447 Ms. Werner,tensions are rising all over the world as you may know.In addition to that, it has to be difficult to settle in Turkey because you know, 5 million people entered the country in 10 years and this increased the real estate prices and lowered the labour cost.
Very informative Video. I heard if you live in Turkey more than 6 months your phone sim card get locked and you need to buy new cell phone in Turkey. Is this true?
You will need to pay tax on your phone
December, what the situation in turkey? To cold?

Can i use Antalya public transport card or Istanbul public transport card for 2 people?
yes you can
Is it possible to buy a monthly bus pass as a tourist in Fethiye area ?
I haven’t seen monthly passes
@@OlgaProGoingPlaces OK thank you Olga .
Is it possible to pay in euros in the shopping center?
Not in normal shopping malls
👍🙂👏🙋
Where d you live in Antalya. Me and my russian wife are here now. Join us for lunch tomorrow?😊
Hi! Unfortunately we can’t join. Have a great time in Antalya!
I got back from Turkey, the taxis were great from Istanbul, we had Turkish Lira and we only paid 400 TL to our hotel by Bosphorous. Cappadocia was amazing but disappointed that Hot Air balloon was $280 per person! We decided to just watch and it was fine, we also stayed in Antalya but got scammed by Host of Airbnb as we did not stay at the place we booked. We went to Kas and had a great time. All in all I liked the country side than Istanbul. It was crazy traffic and too many people.
In June 2022, we paid USD 160 per person for a balloon ride in Cappadocia. I know others who have paid USD 180-200. Strange that they asked so much more in your case.
Have you used the fairy to Kastelorizo from Kaš? We would like to visit in some weeks.
Which Airbnb host was it? , because I will flying out in November and I've booked the apartment through airbnb
@@BGpomakTR yes we did and it was wonderful but I think it was too long to stay in such a small island as there isn’t much to do after lunch. We did not go on a boat tour.
@@omairchaudhry786 the name is Willem and the property was in Belek, Antalya, which was so far from the Old town. If we did not have a car, we would not have enjoyed Antalya. I also did not realize that Antalya was a big area. Stay near the beach if you can or the City Center.
Is there alcohol in turkey???
I talk about it in the video
@@OlgaProGoingPlaces thank you
@Zahid Zabidi turkey will become like saudi arabia And secluarism will end
Great
