This Istanbul travel vlog we explore Kuzguncuk, an Instagram dream with its colorful houses and streets. Here is home to the best doner kebab I have had in Istanbul, actually the best doner kebab in Turkey so far, a must try Turkish food. We have tried a lot of Turkish street food but I haven't found a doner kebab worth filming until now. Emma also tried kunefe, a Turkish delight. It is a cheese based dessert that like all food in Istanbul, was delicious.

Love your videos 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷❤❤❤❤
Hundreds of thousands of cats have roamed the metropolis of Istanbul freely for thousands of years, wandering in and out of people's lives, impacting them in ways only an animal who lives between the worlds of the wild and the tamed can. Cats and their kittens bring joy and purpose to those they choose, giving people an opportunity to reflect on life and their place in it. In Istanbul, cats are the mirrors to ourselves. Oh, Nice moves Al 👌🏻.. Love you Two ❤️
2:40 lol 😂😂💯💯🔥🔥
You are Actually doing Great 🎖🎖🎖
Love Turkish Culture from 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love Turkey 🇹🇷 one of my fav country
InshAllah (Godwilling) will go one day soon
Hello from Oman! The best Kunefe I ate was in Istanbul only! The beauty of istanbul is bosphorus and Old city. I always stay there when I visit istanbul. , but Kuzguncuk looks more beautiful more historical with those beautiful wooden houses and narrow streets. I love all your videos! .
We're on a Travel Beans binge and loving it. You guys crack us up so much!! 😂😂
I'm an expat living in İstanbul for 15 years now and really enjoying your videos. That is a beautiful part of Istanbul which I always think of as a city of small villages. In our small neighbourhood we know everybody and everyone knows us! As regards cats, we all feed them. I think the root of the practice goes back to Mohammed who liked cats apparently. However it's not just cats we take care of, it's dogs too. There are street kennels everywhere, plus automatic feeders for animals, with recycling units where you throw in a bottle or a can and the machine delivers some food to a container for cats and dogs. You may notice on your travels the stray dogs with microchips on an ear. These are strays that are vaccinated every year by the local council and fed by us. Each Mahalle (neighborhood) has its little tribe of cats and dogs. We know them, they know us!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this!! That's so cool that everyone pitches in to look after them.. kinda feels like they're not really strays, more like part of the neighborhood. Love it!
Thanks for taking care of them! 😊🤗💛
@@aleeyajerry1220 🤗
Turkey has always been one of my favourite places! Looks like you enjoyed the kunefe tons! Great video, it makes me want to go back!
Both of you have charisma guys! This is a rare thing )))
excellent video going to Istanbul For Our 40 Anniversary On 04/sep Love & Respect From Scotland
I grew up in Istanbul. Cats are a part of the city and have been for hundreds of years. (Recently a statue of a well known street cat was erected as a memorial). People, even municipality of the city take care of them as much as they can. Most people love them, I love them too. They are good company. 🐱
8:39 face expression😍 kunefe and baklava the most delicious desserts in the world
Enjoyed it!
Thank you. Love how you enjoy the wholesome food and the colourful historic streets of Istanbul ❤
I had künefe at a local restaurant last Thursday evening.
Künefe and icecream....yum...
5:20 , Thats the thing i found missing in many other european countries. Its diverse, its colorful, it old and modern and walking around streets is just fun, then one of the few cities where there is food shop/restaurant around every corner to sit ,relax or eat and then start walking again. Only part i didnt like , its very hilly, you need good legs to go uphill and downhill all the time.
I would never see all parts of the city as a tourist because I would be too busy petting all the cute cats!
The reason there are so many cats in Istanbul is people care about them💚😘👍🙏🤲
The cats (and well fed dogs) are part of Ottoman culture. The Ottoman government would leave food out for all sorts animals, even seeds for birds in the winter. This was to ensure that no animal went hungry in their lands. The Turkish people have continued this culture.
Absolutely loved the video, amazing work and content. Thank you for this.
I recommend Balat neighborhood. chora museum (kariye müzesi), rum high school, bulgarian demir (iron) church, eyüp sultan mosque , old streets and nice fish restorants :) I really liked the turkey vlog videos.
Thank you for your contribution to Turkish tourism 🙏
The reason for all the cats?
Easy, the Turkish cousin 5:53 ( the cat in the background is in hunt after a kebab) , the laid back lifestyle and friendly people!
I want to try that dessert!!!!
Epic vlog! That town looks amazing and the food... OMG the food. Emma's dessert dish looked so interesting! And I tell you, if I am ever abroad and I hear Beans Out echoing around I will know to look for you two!
Künefe
Nice music video Alex! You got the moves! Great video guys! Thanks for sharing with us all.
As an İstanbul resident myself, let me answer your question: Because we let cats thrive here.
And here's a good tip for you: The best döner kebab place in that list is Bayramoğlu Döner at Kavacık, close to the 2nd bosphorus bridge(Fatih Sultan Mehmed Bridge)'s entrance on the Anatolian side. And believe me it really is the best.
I am from Ethiopia i know that doner kebab in Turkey is so delicious. But if you travel to Kazakhstan in almaty try doner kebab even better than in Istanbul. See you good luck.
At the end of the main road there is a restaurant called İsmet Baba great for drinking rakı and eating meze with a beautiful view of bosphorus definitely give it a shot
Go to " VEFA BOZACISI " next time to discover another unique beauty from Turkey 😁🤠
I am officially your new subscriber!!! ☺️
Cats🐾 ports, ships and Mediterranean Sea since ancient time (from Egyptian shores of Mediterranean’s) to Istanbul, Greek Islands, and Venetian destination in Europe have worked together for centuries 🍃🦋🍃🧿🍃🦋🍃🍃🍃
To answer to questions regards to cats in istanbul I recommend you to check the documentary which called "kedi"
How do you know where is the best local doner in Istanbul? haha
You're righttt you found it. Great work guys.
haha a lot of translating Turkish reviews :D Do you know anywhere else that I should try?
As soon as the woman ate Kunefe, her eyes sparkled and her pupils came to life. haahahahaha
Islam has a special place for cats. Ottomans used to have lots of cats, this trend continued and today they have lots of cats in their streets and special love for them.
we love the cats . you can see cats all over the country
If you love İstanbul - Kuzguncuk you should see my home town Çanakkale/Bozcaada. :)
I have certainly never wondered what the "behind the scenes" of a rap video looks like, it is literally how I spend most of our time travelling. It's glamorous being married to a travel rapper. VERY GLAMOROUS! If we ever cross paths, I'm thinking Al needs to be a background dancer, he's truly missed that calling (and all of the $$$ that go with it). Maybe even spit a few bars on a future song? :P
Guys, I love your videos and so glad that you guys share my enthusiasm for istanbul historical villages and our food of course.. %-)
I LIKE THE LOOK OF THAT CHEESE DESERT THING
If you are in London, go to Haringey, not as good but some restaurants serve Kunefe over there and great doner kebab.
@@hasans I'VE BEEN TO THAT KERVAN RESTAURANT. RECKON THEY'LL HAVE IT THERE?
Alex, I think you've missed your calling! Music!! Rap videos!😁💖
Love you guys!
Brilliant ! :)
Hi, at 4.51 there' s a local shop which is written on it Kastamonu Koy Pazari. Kastamonu is one of the city of Turkey that located at northern side also that city is my hometown. Your videos are beautiful. Thanks. :)
izzet camcı kanka kastamonulular cok barbarlar yaa shsjjs yanlis anlamada hepiniz icin demiyorum ama tanidigm nerdeyse her kastamonulu irkci ve yobaz cikti
I recommend you to go "Dürümcü Emmi" in Kadıköy. Their Lahmacun is the best in Istanbul!
Okan Bozkurt deneyeyim
Alex, you crack me up so much, i want to enrol in your online English courses even i speak English!
I heard there are some good Burger places (some Turkish people claims) in Istanbul as a Westerner we'd like to hear your review
Goyta luv Alex Bustin' da moves !
from 8:35 ...now THAT'S what I call a positive review but where am I gonna get some Kunefe in deepest Co.Cavan?
Bravo! Love the Rap music... new intro to your vlogs?!
Hi guys, thanks for sharing these great movies about your travels, i wanted to ask you when teaching in Turkey a Tefl or a Tesol certificate is needed? Which one of these you think is necessary. Looking forward to new adventures of your time in turkey, greetings :)
This music video ... bloody hell ;)
When you ate the kunefe you was in silence for 30 seconds 🤣
Good video. Which is your favourite area of Istanbul?
There are also dogs😂
There are so many cats in İstanbul because cats were always there and wanted food from us, coming near and saying miaww.
Thank you for excellent video. Which is your favourite area of Istanbul?
We just love cats guys :)
KEDILER CANDIR🐈
Emma what did you say @8:35 minutes “I’m gonna s….my mouth out”. What word did you use? I couldn’t understand it. Can you please help me understand it? Thanks ❤️
You should travel to Armenia Russia or Middle East countries
2:40 i wonder which efect you used for that part... Can you tell :)
Btwi you nailed it :D
The same stray cats thing is in Athens especially around the National Garden and the reason for the stray cats in these cities seems to be just the city councils allow it
my age 37 and i travel a lot in istanbul but still didnt see Kuzguncuk lol. bcuz istanbul very big city than you imagine. if u look map you can say oh its not big city.. but if u try travel places let me tell you you can not do that.
Künefe hımmm :))
turkısh food the best :P
Actually the best doners are in Bursa which is 1.30 hour far away from istanbul , and the best kunefe is in Hatay if you want to eat most delicious ones you must eat it in the local areas where they actually belong . Try baklava , katmer , turkish delight, kazandibi, sutlac, kadayif as deserts ... actually there are dozens of deserts that you can try :) you can also try kebab and there are 2 types of kebab mainly, one is adana kebab which is hot and urfa kebab which is not hot .. (there are many variations of kebab) you can also try ‘ ali nazik, kuzu sis ( lamb shish) , iskender , sac tava , buryan kebab, cag kebab, ...
btw guys you don t need to call doner as ‘doner kebab’ in turkey because doner and kebab are different from each other . you can say just doner , it s the correct one :)
As bayrakları
By the way, As far as I watched your videos yet, I found Emma is sooooooooo English professional than you Alex and she fits sooooo much to be excellent English program presenter whether on TV or Radio which reminds me of BBC.
They compliment each other perfectly. I love when Emma giggles behind the camera while filming Alex.
Cats is almost In Muslim cities.
nice
Don't give up the day job! 😉
100 years ago Ottoman governers sent 80 k dogs to wait for death to Dog island (köpek adası) (sivri ada) to seem like more European style that s why now cats r more populer in Istanbul . and also Cats r mostly famous in Asian side like Kadıköy and Uskudar , speacially Kadıkoy, u cant see many cats in another districts .
About cats the right question should be: why there isn't cats in the streets of other countries because cats live in streets this is their living space do you think they live in the forest?
Tako i po to b with tomato
Cats are not taken to cages and are not killed by gouvrnment of Turkey, they are free in cities thays why there are cats! I wonder why other cities do not have cats in streets?
Mix tape dropping in a few weeks 😂😂😂
😂 double platinum album
I will be waiting 😂
ARE U TWO MARRIED? CONGRATS LADS☺
WHO DID IT BETTER?: th-cam.com/video/2-aFHrCWils/w-d-xo.html
Seriously, neither you or James shouldn't be allowed out in public. 😂
😂😂 I love that you have done it before. I should have guessed.
that is called a kunefe face =)))
Bad for a dog tourist walking, enjoying the streets of Kuzguncuk, then all of sudden you'll get mugged by thousands of the residents from all directions
Have been living in Britain for three years now and I can say you guys, you haven't eaten real kebab. What they sell you here as döner and kebab are not döner or kebab. Gotta eat it in Turkey once before you die.
girl is more beautiful than sweet :)
Second
Turks just love cats. There is a YT documentary on Istanbul cats, search it. Cats are also loved by many Muslims as the Prophet Muhammed had a Turkish Angora cat and loved it very much. You can see even ISIS petting cats (old videos, photos...). Turkish Van and Angora are our pure breed cats. Google them they are beautiful and Van cat is known as a swimming cat.
Yes but our widespread cat is Tekir!
@@barisozkaya2710 and in the UK it is Moggy :). Which means a mixed breed of cat usually small and related to the British Shorthair. Countries differ. When I worked in Namibia on the coast all the cats were imported and sometimes were left behind when the people left (sadly it happens) They and any kittens became strays. They were usually rapidly adopted by miners as they were Siamese and Persians.
@@TT-zd6nr I love British and Scottish ones. please bring some if you come to Turkey :) promise good care
Maybe you can find the answer by asking why there is no cats in Europe.
Our Prophet Mohammed said that cats should always be treated well because they have a special soul
Once upon a time that street was full of rats, so the villagers decided to put there cats outside their houses so the rats will be afraid.
Not trying to be mean but I say this for the benefit of this channel, Emma is the star of the show. Alex needs to stay behind the camera. Rap "video" was painful. As for the cats. Here is the problem with asking historical data in Turkey. It's nearly impossible to find anything objective in history. Instead we have myths which people seem to be more comfy with. According to a myth, most of those cats descended from the cats of Mecca that the pilgrims brought back with them. In Islamic tradition it's told that the Prophet was fond of cats and there are a number of stories about it. If you ask me the practical reason is, when a city is so congested it has a serious garbage, hence rat and mice problem. Who's gonna come to the rescue? Cats.
Hello, Emma here. I appreciate the information you have taken the time to give about the cats.. as for your opinion on who the star of the show is, I'll have to disagree. And I can't help but think you're missing the point of the rap video segment.. it's meant to be bad! That's what makes it so funny. One of the main reasons I'm with Alex is that he makes me laugh every single day.. no matter how awful I'm feeling, he can always put a smile on my face. The rap video is just one small example of that. I LOVE it. I must have watched it about 10 times already and it cracks me up every time. I'm so lucky to have found someone who doesn't take himself too seriously and makes it his mission to put a smile on my face each day.. even if that means doing a 'painful' rap video on the streets of Istanbul 😂
I watched the video and I want to eat kunefe right now and 12 am. Thank you guys :).
You need to eat it in a good restaurant or desert seller to get its real taste. If you come across a bad one that is likely cheap you will probably dislike it. Be careful and good luck..
Real doner in Turkey. And soo sooooo delicious❤️ Turkey is heaven🌸
Hi, I just discovered your vlog today. I have been to Istanbul a few times and can only recommend exploring this city and enjoying the excellent food there. And of course not to forget that incredibly nice people also live there in turkey:)
Your reaction to künefe was so entertaining 😄 I'm craving it so much now!
Love from pakistan.plz visit my country
Haha loved the video guys! Love how you give a bit of history about the place you're visiting, well executed 🙌🙌
Lol, funny music video LOL
Definitely a new area of Istambul we've never seen. Great discovery. Beautiful earth tone colors yet happy too.
Food looked awesome.
Best, James
Visited Istanbul 9 June stayed in sultanahmed at AJWA hotel piyerloti area the love people have for 1 and other is truly remarkable the scenery the food only turkey offers this charm

Turkey is so Amazing beautiful, thank you to visit Turkey guys. Turkey is my Favorit Country.
Bloody hell that cheesy nutty crunchy cake thing looked epic. Alex I'm not sure simon Cowell will be giving you call anytime soon unfortunately
No self respecting rapper (like myself) would be seen signing up for Simon Cowell's label.
Did zig and zag no harm! 😂
well there is a name I haven't heard in a long time 😂
künefe candır be:)))
haha it looks like the rapper dudes inspired you to do your own guys! been following all of your Turkey vids. Much love from Bay Area, CA US
And that doner kebab you've tried is a traditional one.
Künefe soğudu be...
