As a Turk, I like your video, especially the shots and your music choices, it gives it a nice vibe. I can say that I'm starting to get a bit obsessed about it because other youtubers make really bad music choices for Turkiye. This creates a different image for Turkiye in a bad way.
The shot of the men praying in haggia sofia made me so emotional
Most marvelous city that hides tons of ancient secrets.
Your narration reminds me the great poet of İstanbul, Orhan Veli. Every single Turkish citizen knows by heart his poem "I'm listening to İstanbul with closed eyes". Your narration, describing İstanbul's unique tranquility in its chaos somehow catches the poet's point.
I AM LISTENING TO ISTANBUL
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed:
At first there is a gentle breeze
And the leaves on the trees
Softly sway;
Out there, far away,
The bells of water-carriers unceasingly ring;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
Then suddenly birds fly by,
Flocks of birds, high up, with a hue and cry,
While the nets are drawn in the fishing grounds
And a woman’s feet begin to dabble in the water.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
The Grand Bazaar’s serene and cool,
An uproar at the hub of the Market,
Mosque yards are full of pigeons.
While hammers bang and clang at the docks
Spirng winds bear the smell of sweat;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
Still giddy from the revelries of the past,
A seaside mansion with dingy boathouses is fast asleep.
Amid the din and drone of southern winds, reposed,
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
A pretty girl walks by on the sidewalk:
Four-letter words, whistles and songs, rude remarks;
Something falls out of her hand -
It is a rose, I guess.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
A bird flutters round your skirt;
On your brow, is there sweat? Or not ? I know.
Are your lips wet? Or not? I know.
A silver moon rises beyond the pine trees:
I can sense it all in your heart’s throbbing.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
As a Turk, i've never heard of it.

@@sevdadaglar Hi! I 's born overseas- not in Turkiye- studied overseas but still know Orhan Veli. Even one of my teachers at school who has been to Turkiye told me about this poem - she knew the verses.
@@sevdadaglar lise son öğrencisiyim. 1 ay sonra mezun oluyorum. 9 da covid vardı lise yoktu 10 11 umursamadim 12 nin yarısında gitmedim. Lise benim için hapishane gibi geçti. Yurtdisinda okuyacağımdan dolayı yks ile alakam yok bu sebeple dersleri dinlemedim
Türkiye'den sevgiler.❤
Çekimler çok hoş.
Ülkemizi bu şekilde tanıtıp gösterdiğin için teşekkür ederiz. 🇹🇷❤
I was there last April 1 to April 5...Now I am missing it more. Will be back sometime soon.
We will welcome you with open Arms 👋🏻

Great video! I plan on going to Istanbul next week. I’m very excited!
How was it??? 😂
Can't wait to visit Türkiye after watching your video! Superb!!🙌
Ülkemiz tüm güzelliği ile sizleri bekliyor..
Oh man, I actually teared up at the end!! You say you're not good with words, but that's not true, you have the loveliest commentary with information on where you are and your own opinion formulated poetically, it feels like I am there too!
The sunsets are really incredible there. So dreamy and feels like the center of the world.
Really magical. Thank you for sharing, excited about part 2!!
Istanbul IS the Center of the World :)
👍💯%
Exactly.. 😀
Cinematic: perfect word to describe this city; I felt like I was in a movie there. Found that same menemen spot via TripAdvisor.
Oh I think I fell in love with İstanbul 😍
As a citizen from Istanbul, i must admit that, these are all beautiful footages. Very well and professionally shooted. Well done !
Man oh Man... this is a documentary not a vlog. Really good shots and choice of background music.
Loved the visuals and the cinematography! You just made me more excited for my upcoming trip to Istanbul
As a native of Istanbul, I am happy that your visit was satisfying 🥰
damn, so beautifuly shot! my utmost respect to you!
My partner and I discovered your videos a few months ago, and we've been in awe of them ever since. You're truly an expert at both describing and showing the many wonders in the world around you. These videos are such a treat! Also, you really do have a way with words. Thank you for sharing such beautiful sights. Wishing you both safe travels!
I’ve seen so many Turkey travel videos. Yours is professionally produced and enjoyable to watch.
I like that you’re concentrating on the food and destination rather than yourself
So many videos are all about the people posing on their channels.
Thank you for this 👏
jesus christ why do you have such few subscribers? this video was awesome! i really liked that you expressed your opinions freely, many travel vloggers just boast everything they see, your criticism of the food, etc. was quite refreshing.
Been there last September. You could still visit the Hagia Sophia for free.
This was nice, cause we’ve been inside four times that week. Just to sit and enjoy the history
Perfect narrative! It was the best individual TH-cam video about Istanbul that I've ever watched. I always admire people who respect and showcase the effort behind what they do, no matter what it is. I look forward to watching your other videos as well.
stunning Istanbul videos Mate!!
Thanks bro, you should visit too someday! Highly recommended.
What a nice video, very well done! I was captivated by your cinematography. The itinerary was also quite good for a four-day trip. Godspeed!
Well, normally you wouldn't put bulghur into the lavash wrap. Just the meat itself in lavash is perfectly fine. If you want, you can also complement the meat with just a little bit of onions with sumac and some parsley. If you also think of adding some tomato and pepper in there, just order a kebab wrap instead.
In general, you should buy simit from bakeries, not from the street vendors. Simit is only good when it's fresh and you are much more likely to find a fresh simit in a bakery. There, you can also find the other, softer "bakery style simit" in addition to the "street style simit".
I'm blown away by your edits! Really love it! I also have a video of my solo trip to Istanbul but my edits are nothing compared to yours. Although I would agree with what you shared in this video -- Istanbul is surreal! It is a good blend of old and new. 😊
Love your travel vlog style! You definitely know how to keep the viewer engaged and you give excellent feedback/comments on your activities! Glad you enjoyed Istanbul, I'll never forget how magical I felt it as a tourist there my first time :)
Best video ever about Istanbul... Thank you for recording all these beauties. Istanbul deserve being top 1. city for tourists. Paris London New York Pekin Bangkok not even close..
Absolutely stunning even for me as a local. The way you brought all your experiences is even better, without any exaggeration of anything. Thank you :)
Thank you very much for visiting our country and our people. I hope you are satisfied. Hope to see you and valuable travelers like you in better days.❤❤
Awesome video again! This is documentary travel show level, the cinematography, music, commentary, storytelling. The sunsets look straight out of a movie. I've never been to Turkey before, and would love to visit someday. This video just put it on my bucket list.
Seriously, a TV channel should hire you to shoot. (but of course, I'm grateful for the free youtube content haha 😁)
Thank you so much! The TH-cam videos will keep coming, but to any TV channels out there who wants to collaborate, I would love to 😎🤣
Welcome to my country,I hope you have great time. Thanks for the video.🙏❤️
This vlog is definitely my favourite I’ve been researching on Istanbul since 4 years as I want to visit this city since sooo long but never made it to Istanbul due to different reasons every time . But this vlog made me book my ticket rn. Love & Support from Pakistan. ❣️🇵🇰

Just found your channel. Amazing work 😍😍
Very well captured istanbul really loved the vlog and no you are not bad with words infact your words kept me going until the end you are very good at it keep doing
great video, well put together
You should try the baklava in karakoy gulluoglu, there are lots good restaurants as well as sub-par restaurants in istanbul, thats why I advise you to use google reviews before going to eat at a place. It might be a bit more pricey in nicer places but you would get a better food experience especially on kebabs - doners and baklava, since they need to be good quality to enjoy.
wow your videos are so cinematic, as someone who live in istanbul I was so impressed.
Excellent camera work and editing by a pro, thanks for sharing your experiences in Istanbul,a vast city with a vast history, you could walk around for 30 days and not experience all its beauty and offerings.
Great vlog..well done🎉
