- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | From the port of Kuşadası, we wander the streets of ancient Ephesus, soak in a natural spa at Pamukkale, learn why the dervishes whirl at Konya, munch lunch in a Turkish pizzeria, and cruise the Mediterranean on a traditional Turkish gulet from Antalya. Turkey is a mighty nation whose ancient heritage, Muslim faith, and western ways are coming together...and we’ll see how. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #turkey

What I like about Rick Steve is that he is so positive about the people and places he presents. At a time when we're all becoming very suspicious or each other, Rick still shows us as common people, with hospitality towards visitors, pride in our customs, and more in common than differences. Thanks Rick.
Yeah, I found out about him few days ago and loving this precious treasure 😇
I taveled half of Europe from Bulgaria to Norway and i can say that i have found lots of people like him who are so positive about cultures and people in general. More you travel, more you open-minded. We are not so different from each other even if we are living in different places, eat different foods and believe in different Gods. We al are human at the end.
Many thanks for his sacrifices too.
Hi there are you there on Instagram or other social media , I am extremely interested in studying and understanding the culture of Turkey , I would like to ask some questions to you if we can connect
Yes I remember Turkey a beautiful country with beautiful friendly people.
thanks for complement
greeting from Turkey : )
im looking to travel to turkey but I want to ask is it safe to travel there now?
arnold wayne just came back and it was safe
I am from turkey. Why all ppl asking about safe ? You must ignore your media news i think. Here is safe sure. We r not north africa ,arabia or afghanistan..
We Aussies loved the Turkish people and sites of Izmir, Kusadasi, Epheseus, Istanbul and Cappadocia in November 2022. We shall return.
It's crazy how diverse they are in terms of looks
Yes it is true, we are pretty diverse. Turkish girl here :)
Like the real Americans
I've met and known many Turks who had Albanian, Bosnian or Georgian ancestry (which explains some of the more European or Caucasus looks), and I even knew one who Arabic and looked completely Arabic, but only knew and spoke Turkish. Looking back even farther, the Turkic tribes from the steppes merely conquered (and mixed) with a pre-existing population that already had a mix of Greek, Phyrgian, Hittite, Armenian, Galatian (Celtic), and Medean (Kurdish) strains.
@bm3racer Turks are the ultimate human then, they have every ethnicity and even some future and extinct ones. Again, the ultimate peoples.
And are they among the sexiest both guys and gales!
Buffet of the ethnics. Box of chocolates of humans; you never know what mix, but always gorgeous.
@Johan Smid My friend call me Armenian but i m Turkish living in Eastern Anatolia.
Turkey is a great country with captivating landscape, rich culture and beautiful people. God bless Turkey. Greetings from Somalia.

I live in Izmir, which is the city that contains Ephesus and this 30 min video is the best Western Turkey Travel video I have ever seen.
Wow-you live there Bahadir?! How neat is THAT?! Cool!
Your city is beautiful! I've travelled in Turkey extensively, but never to Izmir...until last June. I loved it and kicked myself that I hadn't visited earlier. I liked the Agora, Alsancak, Kordon, Karatas and the Asansor, Kemeralti, Kadifekale, Karsiyaka, and of course the side-trip to Efes ve Selcuk. I only had six days exploring Izmir and it wasn't nearly enough. I've been to other regions of Turkiye (Trakya, Konya region, northeast, Bursa, Istanbul), but just something about the Ege pace of living, worldview, cuisine and history really gets me.
Sean Jobst really? I live in izmir too and I'm glad you said that:)
Sıla B Evet ve Tesekkurler! I like the Ege region vibe and atmosphere. Your city is beautiful and amazing. 6 days wasn't enough for me though, so another future return there is needed.
Sean Jobst I hope you get a chance to visit again sean, take care of yourself
We've been watching Turkish soap operas here in Puerto Rico. And they are very good. Translated into the Spanish language of course.
You should watch the soap opera called "Aşk-ı Memnu" it is great!
@@hereyougofirst man your eyes and ear taste is splendid.

Hi Dunia. In Turkey we use your name as the name of our planeth earth: Dünya. I knew it comes from Arabic but probably you did not know that we use it in Turkish. Is dunia a girl name or a boy name in your language?

I did this exact trip a few years ago plus most of Turkey. Love the country and it's people.

This guy’s voice is just so inherently friendly, it makes me smile.
Turkey is a fascinating country! I really want to go there when someday. Besides Turkey i also want to visit Georgia.

I want to visit Turkey so badly. Çok güzel. Teşekkür ederim, Rick
Indeed Turkey is a beautiful country. Thousand years ago and those ruins still there is really amazing!!!
+Chris Challouma actually Turks are older than you think...
Beautiful country on earth. ..i hope i will visit one day
You made me realize how much I miss Turkey. We were stationed in Izmir. I lived on the first cordon overlooking the bay. Really miss the people. Travelled a lot. Best assignment ever.
I'm from Antalya. Welcome everyone.
@T Slong nope. what kind of weird question is that?
@T Slong No it is not, you are free to wear what you want in Turkey
@T Slong no you are free to wear whatever you want, also like 70 percent of turkish woman doesnt wear head scarf
Lucky to be born in such a historical land. Greetings from Malaysia.
@@potatoeskimos Greetings to you too!
I spent a semester as an international student in Konya. It was my first time in Turkey and really allowed me to experience this side of Turkiye outside the tourist areas. It was definitely more "conservative", although there were some areas of the city not quite as much....After this, I got to know Istanbul in depth (including staying there three months in 2015). This last June (2017), I stopped over in Turkey again while on a trip to Avrupa, and this time visited Izmir. Its a shame Rick didn't show much of this beautiful city. I spent a week there (including a side-trip to Selcuk and Efes) and was astounded at the sites, stories and especially the Ege pace of life.
My dad did something like that, I went to a local state of Florida college I tossed up a job to build it. Turkey and zircon christmas star frisbee golf and wherever you travel
Hey I too am interested in international relations , can you tell me what sort of international course study you did while in Turkey !
@@NG-dc2pk come to Galatasaray University in Istanbul if you want to learn French and have a campus with the best view in the world, the Bosphorus!
Yeah Konya is usually considered a religiously conservative region in Türkiye. You'd be better off visiting Izmir or Marmaris. These places are more secular.
Western Turkey is one of the most safe places in Turkey for women. It's actully full of modern, relaxed and happy people.You can visit western-eastern and any kind of place in Turkey safely.

Turkey's all regions amazing.They have old cultural things,beaches,lakes.
@Chris Challouma Romans were not Greeks,they were people of Romulus city who conquered the Greeks don't compare yourself to them.Biggest thing Greeks ever achived was with Macedonians which until Alexander the Great wasn't evem considered Greek.After Alexander died his Empire immediatly died so legacy Greeks made was thousands of deaths for an empire that didn't even survive half a century.
Chris Challouma why the ottomans have to build something to remember them when they actually still living in that country with 80+ Million population? Just the constitution has changed, not the population.
@@biliminsrlar5752 Ancient roman historians consider the Romans who first established there from Troy as greeks. Educate yourself
Turkey is the beautiful country in the world.
Turkey is coming out to be the single most fascinating European nation!! What an episode. Thorougly enjoyed.
+flip inheck Turkey is a transcontinental nation. Western Turkey/East Thrace are European with millions of people living there. So yeah, Turkey IS European as well.
+Teeta Malangi Turkey is a Europe country as well as Asia .
Some people just dont know anything about geopgraphy.

another master piece from Rick!!! I love his show..thank you!! And Turkey is very high on my bucket list!!!! Hoping for peace and integrity for this region!!! What a wonderful country!!
Gosh. Spent wonderful time in Turkey. Hi from Kirgiz Republic.
wow i didn't know much about turkey, now i love to travel and explore the great turkey.
It just feels really refreshing to watch this. Turkey is a beautiful country.
I love Turkey from Pakistan
We love Pakistan very much too.
Hey! Thanks Rick for giving your fans full episodes. You always make traveling look like a blast.
Turkish people are not European nor Asian. We're Eurasian.
My mom's half Bulgarian (Pomak) and half Circassian.
My father's mother was half Kurdish half Turkish and my father's dad was half Greek half Turk from Crete.
What do you think am I? European or Asian? I have light brown hair, green slender-ish eyes and white skin.
As I told you, We're Eurasians, we Turks have roots from Asia and Europe at the same time.
+MickeyChannel I approve this message, you are fxxkin mixed.Now you happy?
well you might not look like a typical Turk but you are still Asian as your country and culture is based on an Asian history. the rest of the world dont consider your nation to be European so why should you.
my mom half greek n half turk, my father's bulgarian turks. i was born in bulgaria but live in turkey. there are several million turks like us living in turkey. (kazak, azeri, uygur, arap-turks, sunni or alevi turks, balkan turks, christian-turk, turkmens, makedons-turk, kosova, siberian turks) who is turkey? who is turk?
+ i dont like muslims n arabs. as the other half of Turkey :)))
I'm a Turkish, with Turkmen and Tatar mix, (both Turkic nations). My foreign friends have hard time classifying me as I have slanted(not much) greenish eyes with red hair with Asian like cheekbones :D
Turkish people are so kind warm hearted and helpful and the country rich in history culture good food and so much to see from the east to the west. Had a great time when i visited. Lots of love from Pakistan.
@Chris Challouma Greek and Armenian.
Thank you Rick Steve for this illustrative turkey traveling pictures.

I had the great pleasure of going to Turkey last November for three weeks and yes, we went to Ephesus. In Kusadasi, I remember being alone on the Main Street in the late afternoon and looking around on the way back to the hotel. I had the MOST DELIGHTFUL three hours talking to four backgammon players in front of a jewelry shop. A little flirting but we were all old (50+) and knew it was all in best. I would go back to Turkey if i could. Oh, and Konya... a dream come true to sit next to Mevlana’s (Rumi’s) tomb for an hour with the believers. So many wonderful memories. Thanks to Rick Steves for the review.
God Bless Rick Steves! I search for travel ideas and get into lots of fancy music, pretentious videos boring Vloggers... Thank you for being so informative, inspiring, essential presentation but very eloquent. Inspiring!
Good job Rick!
I have only been to Istanbul and fell in love with it. I cannot wait to visit the rest of beautiful Turkey!
