- In this week’s video we’re exploring the beautiful city of Istanbul!
We start things off in the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul to explore the famous Blue Mosque. This is actually our very first time going inside of a mosque, and we picked one of the most beautiful! Because it’s an active mosque you do have to wear a headscarf (women) and be very respectful of the people inside that are praying.
After that we head across the bridge to the area that are were staying in called Karaköy. Karaköy is a trendy neighbourhood in Istanbul that is full of cafes, bars and restaurants. While here we try out one of the more popular street foods in Turkey called Simit (similar to a bagel).
Next we take a walk to check out one of the busiest and post popular shopping streets in Istanbul, Istiklal Caddesi. We see the popular street car which takes you up to Taksim Square, and come across a lot of street performers.
Later we make our way back down the street to visit the Galata Tower. We’re told the top of the towers has amazing views over the whole city but there’s always a very long line to get in, so we opted out of going and instead found a nearby rooftop bar (Snog Rooftop Bar), which also has fantastic views - while here we get a drink and watch the sunset.
ABOUT ISTANBUL
Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Its Old City reflects cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here. In the Sultanahmet district, the open-air, Roman-era Hippodrome was for centuries the site of chariot races, and Egyptian obelisks also remain. The iconic Byzantine Hagia Sophia features a soaring 6th-century dome and rare Christian mosaics.
ABOUT TURKEY
Turkey is a nation straddling eastern Europe and western Asia with cultural connections to ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Cosmopolitan Istanbul, on the Bosphorus Strait, is home to the iconic Hagia Sophia, with its soaring dome and Christian mosaics, the massive 17th-century Blue Mosque and the circa-1460 Topkapı Palace, former home of sultans. Ankara is Turkey’s modern capital.

Another great video guys! We've wanted to visit Turkey for ages! Istanbul looks amazing, such a rich history. Had no idea about the Europe/Asia thing either!
That's such a cool thing how one side is Europe / one Asia. Turkey is up there as one of our favourite countries now. So much history and so much yummy food 😋- Anna

Thank you Kenya 🤗- Anna
Great overview of Istanbul, we plan on adding visiting Turkey next year and your videos are definitely helping us plan!
Yay! So glad you're finding the videos helpful with your planning. - Anna
I think its about 20M the population. You guys are stayed / visited there more than most of Turkish people but with your vlogs we have bunch of ideas if we ever go to Istanbul. Thank you for this :) Wish to see more Turkey vlogs after the corona ends
We're glad you found the video helpful Mehmet. Hopefully the virus stops spreading soon - Anna
Welcome to istanbul very good video tanks.
Really interesting! Looks like a great city to explore.!
Will be there in May - thanks for your tips!
Amazing! You will love it. We have a few more videos coming out on Istanbul so lots of 'tips' on the way - Anna
Another fantastic video. Love the look of Istanbul, its not what I expected, I've been to Turkey but never to Istanbul. Interesting place.
It's wildly different that the south of Turkey which is the only place we've been. We like it a lot though. It's our kind of city 😃- Trevor
🌓 Hey there, 🙋🏾♀️I’m catching up on your Istanbul videos, thanks so much for sharing theses amazing videos, I had a incredible time in Istanbul, it was one of many places I had a chance to tour, they really love music/singing. We didn’t stay long because we had to fly to Moscow and that was something else as well lol, but I was signed to a major record label and Istanbul (Turkey)was one of the places that we were in the top 10 in 5 countries and ended up with a gold record, wow it was crazy, you would be so surprised who I toured with, who opened up for me, the stories, will absolutely trip you out, but we were a big hit in Europe because of the type of music I sang, I was the only singer in the group of 3 ladies including myself and i was singing German pop and whatever they told me to sing, which was ok at first but then you find out you the real tea, I made the best of what was dealt to me and I sang other types of music at our concerts to give the people more, to show them that I can sing different stuff, they were surprised because I was signed to Frank Farian and he had a bad reputation that I didn’t know about, he had a group called Milli Vanilli and they never sang their music, I actually meet the the real singers and it was a big mess during one of their shows the recording tap skipped and got stuck so, they were exposed on tv, So not knowing this before I worked with Frank, after the fact, I insisted on singing live at my concerts, I had something to prove even more at that point because of the scandal, so I showed all my fans that I am a professional opera,gospel singer even though I wasn’t allowed to do the music I truly love at the time, I was not about to be in any headlines that I wasn’t a real singer, but I was blessed to receive a gold record, i am no longer signed under contract, there is so much to this story but I planning on making some videos but first have to finalize with some legal business, and have my surgeries. Also been working on having my own record label, I was preparing to go on tour 4 1/2 yrs ago but I got hurt really badly , so i had to put that on pause, and I have been on vocal rest since then,I already had one set of major surgeries I have another set to go soon, but I about I am definitely doing a big tour when I recover from surgery and of course be done with the legal business too. I am already making a list of who I want in my band. No more girl group, just me solo artist with my own complete band. Social media makes it so easy to find musicians, singers, dancers etc. I will keep you updated if you like and thanks again for making these videos you make me smile and I’m looking forward to seeing more wonderful videos from y’all. I apologize for the long comment, I omitted so much because it’s to much to type 🤣, much love to y’all and thanks for putting a smile on my face.🙋🏾♀️🥰💕🌸🎶🎹🎤💃🏾
If you want the best view of Istanbul you have to go up the Sapphire Tower. It's in 4th Levent district. Easy to get there with the Metro. You can see all of Istanbul. It's the tallest building in the City.
thanks for videos
Another great vlog from İstanbul guys.. next time try Firuzende Cafe at the Anemon Galata hotel it's right by the tower.. great views but have not tried their food.
Thanks so much. We appreciate the tip as well - Anna
Beautiful video. Turkey is definitely on my bucket list. You both did a great job on this one. Anna, you look gorgeous in that head scarf. Weather looks perfect.
Awe thank you 😊 This country is so beautiful. It’s sweeping us off our feet - Anna
Doesn’t she look amazing Karen B? I was going to add a comment about Anna looking so beautiful in the head scarf, then saw your comment. Anna the head scarf really accentuates your beautiful face, you look even more prettier with it on. Thanks for your great videos guys, well done and keep it up 👍
Welcome to Turkey :) We waiting everyone to our heaven :)
Istanbul BiggestLargest city in Europe and one of the Biggest Cities in the World Megacity.
The turkey is place ? Of mix culture
Harika
İ always eat bread, my friend Will Simit.
That stone road hundereds of years old .
Asian side actually has more European vibe because it's much less touristic.
Good to know! Thanks so much - Anna
Another wonderful vlog love from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷🥰😍🥰😍. Best regards from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷🥰😍🥰.
Olá lindinhos. Aqui estou curtindo vocês. Linda Istambul, aliás Turquia um dos mais lindos países que conheci. Com vocês ,renasceu minha vontade de voltar e conhecer as belezas que mostraram. ADOREI. Beijos.
Thank yo Fatima! It's so great that you're following along after our Brazil series and commenting. Turkey is amazing! - Anna
Unfortunately you missed 360 view of the whole city. You must go up the tower. Cheers
another great video guys! my Pappou (grandfather) worked at the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople (before it was Istanbul); he worked for the Patriarch (to the Eastern Orthodox faith, he is like the Pope to Catholicism). My Pappou met his wife there (she was the Patriarchs niece), they married but moved to Athens in the population exchange between Turkey and Greece around 1923. While the Greek and Turkish governments are often at loggerheads, I love the people and history in that region and I thank you for bringing such great videos!!
Wow what an interesting story Taki. We'll have to read up on the population exchange some more. The people in Turkey have been so kind and welcoming to us. They sure know how to welcome two Canadians 😃- Anna
🥰
Bosporus is not a river it s a sea
i live in european side of Istanbul and i can say that asian side is much more beautiful than european side
We'll have to go over there and check it out Eren - Anna
Delightful Travellers you’re always welcome to our country 🤗
A TRULY İNTERESTİNG CİTY.I WİSH YOU A GOOD TİME
Asian side is more european than European side :)
The colour of her eyes..
XD Bunu da anca bi türk yazardı muahahhaa
@@Ho-Lee-Fack Kendini aşağılıyorsun arkadaşım. Hoş değil.
Glad your both having a great time and no one staring at you 2. :-) I have a good friend who has been working with an american company for about 20 years and they have a factory in Istanbul but they are not permitted to go there the past year or two because of the danger to americans. I guess being Canadian is ok. Everyone in South Florida hates Canadian's.... don't come here. :-) Just joking. Thanks for another escape from my horrible retirement life. I am so jealous.
We're having a great time 🤗 We feel just as safe in this city (or more) than large cities in the United States. No one can tell by looking at us if we're Canadian or American so I can tell you first hand we had no issues at all. The Turkish people are incredibly kind and inviting. - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Here's a good one. Not only do southerners and Floridians don't want Canadians.... neither do the middle eastern people. Now that is sad. :-) When they hear you say... oat for out... and aboat for about.... they know you are canadians and when you say EH, instead of what or yes.... believe me... we all know who and where you are from. Welcome to Florida...................................now............go home!!!! :-) Very rude people we can't tolerate. :-)
There is no risk for Americans (or for anyone) to visit Turkey. It's due to political clashes these warnings are given.
7:10 they are singing in Kurdish.
The beer Ana is drinking “tuborg” is danish
Really? I swear they told us it was Turkish haha - Trevor
Delightful Travellers trust me, I’m half danish and is living in Copenhagen, Denmark, its danish
Burak Aksoy we like Efes too 😀
Delightful Travellers if you google it, this is coming up:
Tuborg is a Danish beer brand that was first brewed in Hellerup in 1875. The factory behind the products, Tuborgs Fabrikker (from 1935 Tuborgs Breweries), was founded in Hellerup in 1873 and in 1970 merged with Carlsberg. Most of the plant is now demolished.
@Mille A is right, Tuborg is a Danish brand but it’s a Turkish brewery that brews it in Turkey under the Tuborg name. Türk Tuborg I believe they’re called. So they weren’t lying to you.
It probably tastes pretty much the same though 😀
