    Cinematic: perfect word to describe this city; I felt like I was in a movie there. Found that same menemen spot via TripAdvisor.

    İm foreigner living in Istanbul for almost three years. Everything is beautiful in Istanbul. But you should try to travel in the black sea regions and center Anatolia. İt's absolutely amazing.❤
  • @marcuspowers3
    Great video! I plan on going to Istanbul next week. I’m very excited!
  • @someonewho288
    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.
  • @sevdadaglar
    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.

    My turkish family migrated to germany over 40 years ago, sometimes I sit and watch others experience my homeland and feel a deep yearning. we didn't visit to turkey in 16 years because of financial reasons, thank you for showing me a part of home
  • @foxinthenight
    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!!

    Oh I think I fell in love with İstanbul 😍
  • @melissaa9198
    I was there last April 1 to April 5...Now I am missing it more. Will be back sometime soon.
  • @tonyblenk
    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 👏
