- Why are Ayvalik and Cunda hidden gems! (TH-cam'de Türkçe altyazılı seçebilirsiniz)
On the Aegean coast north of Izmir is a quaint resort called Ayvalık a resort Türks keep for themselves, along with Cunda Island and Sarımsaklı Beach this area has a lot to offer any foreign traveller or holiday maker, but there doesn't seem to be many foreigners going there! Originally a Greek Christian community, much of the resort still retains it's old heritage, including beautifully restored Churches and old stylish Greek and Ottoman houses.

Guys, I am writing right now a very long letter to the Ministry of Culture and ask them why they are sleeping on their hands. You two should have been named "Culture Ambassadors of Türkiye" by now ... Thanks a million for this nice video. Have been years since my last visit to Ayvalik. Time to plan a trip again ...
That’s very nice of you thank you 🙏
Yes!
I agree! ❤
I agree❤ Your love and respect for the country is admirable and appreciated ❤
Mike and Trudie are doing their best to show how Turkiye is a beautiful country. I can not wait for the day I will call Turkiye my home.
You never disappoint me, Mick amca. I’m the Thai woman who is obsessed with Turkiye. I subscribed your channel because you made great videos about Turkiye. My husband and I decided to do the roadtrip to Ayvalik after watching this video. Cok tesekkur ediriz. ❤
I hope you have a wonderful trip with your husband. Welcome to Turkiye in advance ❤
My father side were immigrants from Skopje and Salonica. They have settled down around Edremit, Ayvalık and Dikili between 1917-1922. Ayvalık was a poor town in my childhood. Great to see tourism transformed it.
All the Turks in Anatolia are immigrants they steal everything from the Greeks
Thank you for showing in your videos that Turkish Cuisine is not only Kebap, meat and street food and we have many kinds of vegetable meals and seafood.
I'm in love with you guys,love your videos so much.. Greetings from Kathy from Serbia. Like Turkey so much,amazing country,coming there for my holiday every year for the last 20 years
Another great view into Turkish living! Thanks!
By the way, after 35 years of marriage, it finally dawned on me that I could cook Iskender at home!! We live away from Turkish eateries, and only get to them occasionally. I was so hungry for Iskender and then home cooking hit me. I am already well versed in the kitchen!!
Many different parts of the meal made many pans to clean up.
My resulting Iskender was lezzetli....right down to the toasted buttery cubes of flatbread! It was heaven x two nights.
😊❤😊
🤠👍
Without any exaggeration, you two are not only the best TH-camr but also nice and humble people. Thank you so much for nice video
Wow, thank you!
gidipte göremediğimiz yerleri sayenizde görüyoruz video için size teşekkür ederim her zamanki gibi keifle izledim.
Mick Amca Ayvalık Candır Gerisi Heyecandır Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel video için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
Best Trudie and Mick. I will definitely always watch your interesting and educational videos about Turkey. Thank you for all this useful information ! ! ! ! !
I love u Trudie & Mick . You present Turkiye better than so many Turkish people. Have a lovely journey.
This is where i grew up. I live in australia now, but this is so lovely to see. Makes all the homesickness fade away a little bit
Lovely videos and so nice a tourist can pronounce the words right. Where did you learn Turkish? I am German but grew up in Turkey in the 60 ies. Most places were just beginning to have Hotels . Now living in Canada, I feel so homesick to Turkey, not Germany. Every Turkish song I hear makes me want to cry. And people are even lovelier when one speaks their language!
Thank you! Great job! Am ready to return.
I learnt Turkish living in a Turkish village 🤠
Two days ago, I came back from spending a month exploring Istanbul, Türkiye. Honestly, the trip wouldn’t been possible if it wasn’t for all your videos and knowledge you have shared with us.
Thank you and keep uploading amazing videos! 🤍
I’ll be going back next year to explore the Asian side too!
You guys are a gem for my country, Türkiye!
You’re doing a fantastic job and very informative. Much love to you both🙏🏼❤️🦋
Your videos not only ordinary ,they are just like documentaries so big well done to both of you.
If the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Culture and Tourism did 1 percent of what you do, we would host many more tourists in our country. Video images, locations and explanations 10 out of 10
I love Turkey is absolutely amazing country !
My beautiful city, Balikesir. Its been 7 years since I visited. Just realized how much I missed it 😭 Thank you for the video ☺
👏🙏💙
Türkiye has versatile and European-level tourist destinations. It has it all, like it's said on Turkish Airlines spot❤
TEŞEKKÜRLER MİCK SEN ÇOK IYI BİR ABİSİN ANLATIMIN YÖRELERİ TANITIMIN ÇOK İYİ ŞEKILDE HERKESE AKTARIYORSUN ❤❤
çekimleriniz harika..siz harikasınız..cana yakın,sevimli,tatlısınız..ALLAH ayırmasın sizi..hoşcakalın..
Sizi gerçekten severek takip ediyorum,ülkemi sizin güler yüzünüzle tanıtıyorum avrupaya,iyiki varsınız
Thank you Mick &Trudie....Harikasınız...
This was wonderful to watch. I have been going to Sarimsakli and Ayvalik now for 28 years, almost every year. We only had 3 days there in August so didn't realise they were developing the beach area. You should have went to Seytan Sofrasi. Wonderful views and a beautiful sunset, although very popular in the evening to watch the sunset. There is also some beautiful waterfalls not far away but a bit if a hike to them with a wonderful swimming hole. Thank you for showing us Ayvalik in your eyes. I am homesick for it now.
Thanks a lot for this vlog. There is a lot of respect to former christian population. In Greece they distroyed all mosques also the turkish graves. Athen is the only cqpital where still its not allowed to open a mosque.
Go to North Cyprus and tell me if you find a church that hasn't become a mosque but if you go to the republic of cyprus the mosques still are mosques
All turkey is built on greek history and all the influences is greek
No history background? There are no greek since 2tousand years in asia. Eastrome were in before, but no greeks. In Turkiye they are called "Rum", from the romans. Therefore nothing have been built on greek history. In Anatolia were no greeks, Hititer yes, but no Greeks or Helens or Ionians.
@@mismar1921 I think you need to go to a european or world library to find out about greek history. Palasgians minoans ionians aecheans Macedonians mycaenians then byzantines called by the turks rums upto this date are or hellenes .then took the name greek from the Italians who first did colonies in South Italy naples(neapoli) and scilly. All of this tribe or race is greek. What about ephasos smirni constantinople cappadocia who were these people what language did they speak. Don't just see one side of the coin if you want to be a fair man.
And one other thing even in India about 2000 years ago there was 7 different greek kings .Read and you will learn
When I was a child, I felt like I was on vacation everywhere in Türkiye. All areas were almost tourist-free compared to today. My opinion is that the locals have only come to love their old areas and old houses with the interest of tourists in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today it feels like every old building is being restored.
Sarimsakli beach is one of my fav water has in the sea and Sandles
Geçen yaz Ayvalıktaydım, bu videodan sonra o kadar özledim ki. Gerçek bir kültürü var, asla bodrum gibi plastik değil. Evleri, ara sokakları, yemek kültürü, mimarisi her şeyiyle eşsiz bir yer, orada yediğim yemekleri unutamıyorum. fiyatlar da uçuk değil. Tek sıkıntısı denizinin soğuk olması, onun dışında 10/10.
Cold see what more
Bence farklı bir sıkıntı daha var ama sanırım siz fark etmediniz , belli aralıklarla duyduğum lağım kokuları . Muhtemelen giderler denize dökülüyor diye düşünüyorum.
Oh, what a delightful video capturing the essence of Ayvalik! 🌟 I must say, Ayvalik truly is a hidden gem, and your video does a splendid job at showcasing its beauty and charm. 📝
From the moment you step foot in Ayvalik, you are enveloped in a world of wonder. The glistening turquoise waters, the quaint cobblestone streets, and the warm, welcoming smiles of the locals make you feel like you've found a piece of paradise. 🏖
The picturesque scenes of Ayvalik's islands, like Cunda, are nothing short of breathtaking. The crystal-clear sea, the olive groves, and the charming architecture make it a place you'll never want to leave. 🏝
But what truly sets Ayvalik apart is its rich history and culture. The old stone houses, the historic churches, and the vibrant bazaars all tell a story that goes back centuries. Exploring these treasures is like taking a journey through time. 🏰
And let's not forget the delectable food! Ayvalik is renowned for its fresh seafood and mouthwatering local dishes. Every meal is a culinary adventure, and the flavors are a symphony for the taste buds. 🍽
But it's not just the sights and flavors that make Ayvalik special. It's the people, the sense of community, and the warm hospitality that make you feel like you've found a second home. 💖
In Ayvalik, you can immerse yourself in the slow-paced, laid-back lifestyle, and it's a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The serene sunsets over the Aegean Sea are a testament to the tranquility and beauty that this hidden gem offers. 🌅
So, if you haven't already, I highly recommend adding Ayvalik to your travel bucket list. It's a place where you can relax, rejuvenate, and create beautiful memories. Ayvalik is more than a destination; it's an experience of a lifetime. 🌹🌿💙
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, and I hope it inspires others to discover the magic of Ayvalik as well! 😊🎉👍 #Ayvalik #HiddenGem #TravelGoals 🌟
love these hidden gems, we went to Kas and Kalkan after watching your vids on them and fell in love with the area so much we took our son their this year for a visit and our daughter and family went their for a few days while staying with us
Another fantastic video. What a beautiful country it is and my dream is to one day be part of it. Well done both of you.
Hi Mr Mick , good to see you again. I am interested to this beautiful tour, Turkey is really beautiful and worth a visit. I enjoyed watching the video very much. Especially the ancient antiquities, they are wonderful, there are also beautiful cafes, museums and galleries. I hope to see more, if possible in those areas. Thank you both and please say hello to beautiful Rudy. Enjoy your time and good luck. Painter, Jamal. Taee.
Hi Mick and Trudie, warm greetings from cold and rainy London! I am a Turkish from Ayvalık, living in London for the most part of the year. I love Ayvalık, and I think Ayvalık is a uniqe place in Turkey in many ways. I think the best mezze in the world is of from Ayvalık including the other side of the Aegean Sea. The people are very friendly, the olive oil and olive is super quality, the sea is great though season is shorter. But, also is not overly Touristic as Bodrum and Marmaris have been. I hope it will remain that way. Thanks for doing this video.
I love Ayvalik so much Dear Uncle Mick and Dear Trudie Türkiye çok güzel bir ülke.🥰😍🤗
Ayvalik is a gem. In the summer of 2001 I spent several weeks on Cunda island attending an Ottoman Language Intensive Reading Course co-hosted by by Harvard and Koc Universities, and every day would get to go into Ayvalik, usually using one of the quick boats that went from Cunda. So many happy memories, and your video brought those back to me.
I was going to mention the language course hosted by Harvard and köç universities but wasn’t sure if they were still going
@@mickandtrudie Yes the programs as still run every summer on Cunda
Sizi çoook seviyorum ❤️❤️ Altınoluk'a gelin. Bekliyorum 🇹🇷❤️
Harikasın mick seni takip ediyoruz harika çekimler başarılarının devamını dilerim
And now many tourists will visit after this video, its not hidden anymore 😊
No, only travellers will come the big companies have no contracts there 🤠👍
Amazing Ayvalık , thanks Mick and Trudie ❤
So beautiful .Congratulations for chosing to visit this magnifiscent place .
oh my hometown💕love to see it from your perspective, you captured the feeling great! you can do some antique shopping there, many people who live in the area are too old and the young generation doesnt want to live in the small town anymore, so after their grandma/pa dies, they just sell the stuff to the antique shops and close the house. thats why there are manyyy antique shops with so many unique pieces.
Very informative and professionally video, I really love it and enjoy a lot, sitting home but watching Turkey without spending a penny, love from 🇨🇦
Thank you for teaching our own ‘memleket’ to us. I now live in another country and miss Turkey so much, in fact all of my summers as a child I was in Ayvalık. This video just made me realise that I miss it even more. I had no idea that I did not see the most of it! Definitely I will go to these places next time!
Absolute marvelous review! We never stopped in Ayvalik during our annualy holiday by car in Turkiye, but we stopped two times in Sarimsakli, as transit accommodation. They are under heavily renovation on the beach area, but the holiday atmosphere is absolutely lovely. I think this will become a holiday destination!
Mick and Trudy, thank you lot that you are really respect our country, culture and both you are like culture ambassadors of ours. Thank you…❤
What a nice presentation. Thank you so much for the video.
Always so informative
We will aim to visit. Thank you Mick &Trudie.

Great exploration around Ayvalik. Well edited and narrated. Tnx4sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing, I love your videos! 🍺🍺
Our lovely summer house located in ayvalık is amazing. Especially compared to bodrum, here is much less crowdy and more sincere environment. Also It’s not occupied by many people so it still protects it’s own unique culture.
Ayvalik is a village compare to Bodrum. But still very beautiful on its own way
Oh my parents are there atm, they are LOVING it, nice to see this video pop up.
Congratulations on one of the best channels on you tube, so well made, informative… and most of all two lovely people, wish you both well and keep going with this, I love e to watch all about Türkiye ..😊
You’re videos are so informative and relaxing to watch.
As always, Fantastic!
Yine harika bir video olmus. Teşekkürler
it was one of the best videos shown from Avyalik I ever seen. We spent a lot of time there about 20 years
This is my hometown, and I currently live in Canada. Thanks to Mick. This lovely video was helpful for me to show my Canadian friends where I am from. Keep it up! ❤
I lived in ayvalik for 2 years, best spot I have ever lived in
Ayvalık is not the best one on the west coast of Turkey; however, when it comes to affordability and small-town atmosphere, I agree that it is the best spot!@@dhiaoshaish
Great video
Really enjoyed it
Keep doing it please
Love you both
Alpay 😍🤩
Im from Balıkesir 😊 Ayvalık and Ören ❤

Türkiye' de bir çok yeri gezdim. Bana göre en yaşanılabilir şehir Fethiye oldu.
Fethiye’yi bende çok beğendim ama bana göre nemi çok yüksek oluyor.
Biz Fethiye’de oturuyoruz zaten
Smashing that like as I keep watching 👍
Love your videos❤
You guys are charming. I'm a Turk living in London and I learn many things about Turkey from you. I think I'll have to move back to Turkey :)
