My Russian sister to flew in to Istanbul, Turkey for the first time! We recently moved to İstanbul and love traveling through Türkiye and spending time here.
So once we settled in to our apartment in Kadıköy, we decided we had to show the best of Istanbul to my younger sister, Lera, who recently flew in from Russia.
Welcome to İstanbul! The largest city in Europe and one of the most beautiful on Earth. Travel in Turkey can be expensive but we couldn't miss the opportunity to show it to Lera. Is Istanbul the greatest city / country on Earth? Let's find out her honest opinion and first impressions of Türkiye 🇹🇷

The cats of Istanbul are a feature in themselves. They are everywhere but always friendly and hungry. I love Istanbul.
Hahah, definitely always hungry 🥰
The diversity of Turkkiye is truly amazing. We had a great time there both the European and Asian culture. Julia, we want to comment and say that your sister looks great. She looked happy
and was beaming and so communicable. Hope she had a great time there. Loving you guys❤ Be Well! dear friends from Harriet, Jim and Yuki (on our way to a wedding in Newport . R.I.
U.S.
Thank you so much guys! Really appreciate it! Enjoy the wedding 😍❤️
Istanbul may just be my next destination thanks to your video, was there in December 1973, so it's a completely different city now, thanks
And Matt and Julia do it again! Such an "honest" look at Istanbul. That's what I remember from the 4... 5? times we've been to Turkey. Julia's sister's reaction was great. Never got to the Princes Islands, so that was a real treat! And, yes, airalo - is very very good. So long as your phone is compatible with an e-sim. Mine isn't! Getting a new phone next week!!! Matt the way you did the promo was just perfect; personal and honest. Not often I watch ads! There's so much more to explore. Looking forward to more videos from in and around Istanbul and Turkey. Cheers!
Thank you so much Linda! ❤️ Really appreciate your comment about the Airalo integration too, glad it came across that way 😊 Looking forward to sharing more! 🙌🏼
You got yourself a little TH-cam sister.
She looks great and healthy. Good to see all is good with your family over there.
Haha, she loves the camera 😃❤️
This is a lovely portrayal of a fabulous city.
Thank you so much ❤️🙌🏼
Russian people usually go to Turkey for summer holiday ^_^ Сестра красавица.
Thought they went to Ukraine 😂😂 🇺🇦
@@68dgmitch Only if they have relatives there.
😂😂😂😂@@maksphoto78
Hello, Lera. It's good to see you again!
Thank you so much ❤️🥰
It was good to see Lera. It was nice to hear her opinion. You look good Lera, looks like you have lost weight. Could you show us more of the food you eat? That's always interesting.
Hello from eastern Europe, Türkiye 🇹🇷
Look forward to your travel videos! Julia, your sister is very pretty!
Thank you so much Marilyn 🙌🏼❤️
Sizi seviyoruz dostlar.. İstanbul sizi özlemişti :))
Nice to see Lera has kept her funny side
She's an enjoyable person, must be a family thing 😉
Glad that you guys liked Istanbul! Greetings from a local 👋🏻
Oh wow, I love istanbul too, I spent 6 weeks there. A roadtrip I hear you say.... I hope you get to Göbekli Tepe, it sounds fascinating!!
Thank you so much for the recommendation 😌❤️
Julia having watched all your TH-cam videos its crazy to see your sister becoming all grown up
Ohhh Kennedy Avenue fooled me too, a nice afternoon walk next to the sea, I thought.... but it never ended, many parts were fenced, it wasn't that easy to cross. I ended up arriving almost at night at my destination..
I also passed through Kinaliada, the only one of the islands that I was able to visit, I was looking for an abandoned cemetery but I was wrong, that one was in Buyukada, it will be left for the next visit to Istanbul...
I hope you can return to that city soon to live there as you wish. Love to both
Haha, seems like it’s a more common mistake than we thought 😌
Thank you so much Alejandro, us too! 😃 Love to you ❤️🙏🏼
Love it when you guys include Lera..and , yep , looks like Lera is ready to do her own channel....😊😘
Haha, not sure it’s something she wants right now, but never say never 😃
Amazing video! Very glad that your sister enjoyed this fantastic journey in Istanbul! Turkey is so beautiful. Great video and take care🍀🌻🪻🍀
Thank you so much Gabriella😘❤️
Lera lovely as ever. So happy she is back.
❤️❤️❤️🥰
Lamps! Gosh, I heard you wrong and was first into cooking lambs ... time for hearing aids I guess. But thanks for Istanbul tour, absolutely on my bucket list.
I heard the same lol
Hahahahaha, those poor lambs 😁
Tesekur ederim 😊
Rica ederim 🥰❤️
If you visit neighborhoods like Beylerbeyi, Kuzguncuk, Kandilli, Cengelkoy, Kanlica, Beykoz, Anadolukavagi, Anadolufeneri you will see how beautiful the Asian side is. All the best.
We definitely will do! 🥰❤️
Loving the dance at the end 😂
Love it when Lera joins your videos! Beautiful video of Turkey. I’ve only been there once on a cruise. Never got to see much of the area. Would definitely enjoy more videos of Turkey.
Love to visit Turkey & the cultural diversity looks amazing, real East meets West
So, uh, yeah. Great video-I hope to visit this fall.
Thank you! I’m sure you’ll love it! 🙌🏼
great video Matt and Julia nice place it was a bit short for me when I visited. Enjoy the trip?
Thank you so much! For sure, we love it, well worth returning for a longer period 😍❤️
You and your sister are so cute and beautiful!
Aw, thank you 🥰❤️
❤ love it that you spend time with your family and get your family involved in your adventures great video I want to go visit now . ❤🏡👯♀️
Thank you so much! Really couldn’t recommend the city enough 😍❤️
As a Turk born and raised in Germany who has visited Istanbul many times I enjoyed the slow pace of the video, yet it's a pity you decided to visit Kınalıada instead of the more popular Büyükada which is a better choice for locals as well as for tourists as it has much more to offer. Yes, it's more expensive on Büyükada and some restaurants might offer food which isn't that good but the overall experience is better on Büyükada. You might want to pay a visit to the Big Island the next time.
Great trip to Istanbul! So great to see your sister Lera again. I noticed on one boat they had an accessible bathroom. Yes, I look for stuff like that and other areas that might be accessible for a wheelchair user. How accessible do you both feel Istanbul might be for someone in a wheelchair? Just a curious thought. Tugay Inanaglu is a youtube vet and very popular with his practice here on youtube. Wonder if you were in his area or to far. Either way I loved your video. Its so much fun seeing your travels through your eyes. Can't wait for next week! Be safe!
Really glad you enjoyed it 😌🙌🏼
All the Public transport is very wheelchair friendly for sure. Maybe some of the cobbled streets are a little difficult but overall I would say (in our non-expert opinion) it’s a very wheelchair friendly city 🥰❤️
@@MattandJulia Thank you for the update. That is awesome to know. :) See you next time, be safe.
Istanbul got lots of history to it!
That’s for sure!! 😍
Still journeying with you. ❤
Means the world! ❤️🥰
What a beautiful city....
It’s almost too aesthetically pleasing 😍❤️
Speaking of hilly streets on the European side, you can use Tunnel from Karakoy to Galata / İstiklal Street, you can use Funikuler from Kabataş to Taksim, or you may take the M2 metro from Yenikapi hub station to most of the touristy/shopping areas of the European side incl. Taksim.
And yeah, Sirkeci is a much better option for a direct walk to Blue Mosque
Thank you very much for the advice! 🙌🏼❤️
Love you guys. You are so natural, truthful and easy going. Welcome to TURKİYE. Wish you all the best memories
Thank you so much! 🙌🏼❤️
I love your videos thank you for taking me places I will never have the pleasure to visit! Have a great experience and be careful!😘❤️
The means of transport in Istanbul are great. You can get from place to place very quickly. I would just avoid taking a taxi. 🙂
Another nice video. Thank you so much
Thanks for joining us! 🙌🏼❤️

Just Had a really traumatic experience in Armenia so can’t wait to be somewhere familiar 😊 hope you had a lovely time with your sis , that lamp making looked so therapeutic ❤❤ loved your turkmenistanbvids by the way!!
They were in this city earlier, Matt says it's May 19th.
We aren’t unfortunately ☹️ We left on our travels around a month ago 😘
Really sorry to hear that about Armenia! Hope everything is okay! 🙏🏼❤️
Hello big hug 🤗 to the 3 of you ❤❤❤
Right back at you! ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely turky blog ..
Thank you! ❤️
Has Lera lost weight? She looks much happier and more confident than in previous videos.
You two could make a great business out of tours of Istanbul.
Hmmmm, now there’s a thought 🙃
Привет и добро пожаловать. Я скоро тоже там приеду
Does Andre ever get jealous every time you bring his sister in your international adventures? 😭😆 pls bring him next time lol
We always ask him to come, but only one of them ever wants to (Lera) 🥲 Hopefully he will change his mind at some point 😌
@@MattandJulia I guess Andre’s missing out on some great experiences! 😅 Hopefully, he'll be tempted to join in soon.
Wo arlo so cute my brother ❤🎉❤🎉
There was a Patamushta Cafe in Galata area.
Hi Matt., WNDERFUL RECOMMEDİATİONS❤❤
Nice city 😊

Woohoo0!!! Very nice visit.

Can’t wait to share more 🙌🏼❤️
Ótimo video como sempre 👍🇧🇷
The Turkish Detective on BBC IPlayer it's very good.Wishing you all well.
Interesting, so many good shows here! You too 😘❤️
Your sister is very pretty
Julia, I'm still waiting to see that look on your face again that you had after that long train ride with that crazy man. It even scared me a little.😂
Hahahaha, I scared myself editing 😁❤️
TÜRKÇE ALT YAZI DA OLSAYDI İYİ OLURDU 😊
What happened to the shy Lera that hardly said a word the last time she travelled with you guys ? this one could have talked the leg off a table in that minute from 15:25 onwards !
For sure, she lovvvveees to talk 😃❤️
Come to iran and see the real beauty
It may not break the bank for the tourist. But might be different for a local.
❤👋hi
❤️❤️❤️
Türkçe altyazı eklense süper her dil var ama Türkçe yok
Props to Lera- she looks great. And I'm gay, btw, not trying to be a sleaze or anything.
Hahaha, thank you so much 🥰❤️
great video
Thank you Jimmy! ❤️
👏💕👏💕

How come you haven't come to greece yet?

🧿🧿🧿

Your sister looks like she did a couple of years ago and that's fantastic. 😉
Alikhansbird 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇵🇰💞💞
You can t enter europe ?
Brilliant video! What month was it?
@@charola41 Matt said it was May 2024
@@lindathalman3506 Thank you Linda!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Went in 2023
Did you enjoy it? 😘
Airalo is only for iPhones.
Lera, you are gorgeous!!! Im glad you are on a good diet, no offense, the slim body will make you shine so much. You are a real 9.5!
Wow, your sister has lost weight and has become so attractive..
Has become? I look forward to seeing her in these videos. She is gorgeous!!
unfortunately there are many syrians, afghanis and people from other countries. in the past you saw few women with headscarves in istanbul but now it is full. it is all because of the flood of arabs coming to turkey...
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🥰🥰🧿🙏🏻🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
That paid sponsorship with airalo at 1 minute in, kills the video. Sorry. That was the end for us.
ok bye
I quit watching this channel when her sister showed up. Don't know why, she just rubs me the wrong way. I noticed their viewers are way down since then also.
My dream is russia 🇩🇪🇷🇺✌️
I was disappointed when u guys prefer instead of buyukada big island to kinaliada 😀 and thanks for your Sister s gpod wishes about İstanbul and i öve russians ❤
Очень дóрога , скучно
Sıkıcı mı? 😂 Çok fakir olmalısın.
