I was in Antalya for 2 weeks in October getting part 1 of my teeth done, the amount of money I thought would last 1 week actually lasted 2 weeks with leftovers, I could not get over how cheap everything was, I was dining out ALL the time, getting gifts, staying in 4 star hotels very mid to high budget and could not get rid of my money no matter how hard I tried lol. I will be going back for part 2 around April and then I will be going via Istanbul and plan to stay 4-5 days there before travelling onwards to Antalya. I know hyper inflation has hit the world due to the scamdemic but still it's an incredibly cheap, safe country where I felt very relaxed. Although I did not test it, it was the kind of place I could leave my phone on the table and go to the bathroom and be guaranteed it would remain untouched. It was great to be in a country that has not turned secular, that has God in their lives and the people have strong moral compasses, once all this bullshit is over I will seriously be looking into possibly buying a property out there, I was blown away by how much I loved the place and the people. Thank you for all your videos, I have watched them all and this one in particular is great for me as mid budget is exactly my ball park. God bless
What a great experience you had in Turkey! Turkish people are amazing and welcoming. Is a great place to live specially in every sense, and even more if you have income in usd or euro.
@@Mohammad-xq7bi I am getting a very big job my entire mouth, 4 implants on top, 6 below and they also needed to do some bone work,. in total it will come to about 9,000 euro, the cheapest quote I got here in Ireland was 24,000 euro.
Thank you bery. I always look out for new videos from you. I am planning a trip to istanbul and fethiye next year July. I feel your videos are interesting and very informative. Please make more. All the best
I just came back from my trip to Turkey, even though the lira dropped dramatically, I didn't feel that my dollar went as far as I projected. First , prices increased as people there are trying to survive, also harder to haggle for better prices. For me , the only very affordable was the cost of food and hotel. I did get dental work and got 2 implants ( German) , I paid $1500 , I will return in 6- 8 months to get the crowns , possibly veneers, not sure yet ....Overall I love Turkey and its culture.
Dear Bery, thanks for all your informative videos! Your hair always looks so good. Where do you cut your hair? I think it would be great if you‘d make a video about coiffeurs and barber shops in Istanbul and/or Turkey :)
OMG! LOVE THIS VIDEO! We are making a video about this as well and hope that we do Istanbul justice as you are the expert! We stayed in Taksim Square for 1 week and actually really enjoyed it because it was literally a 2 minute walk to Istiklal Street! We did both hotel and Airbnb experiences as well so there is so much to share! Our video will also start with Turkish Breakfast too! I love your Breakfast into Dinner because the food is always so filling and we couldn't get 3 meals a day! HAHA. TAVUK SIS is our favorite!!! Thanks so much for this video. We loved how you put this all together! Can't do the TAXIS! They are truly impossible. Just take Public Transportation. SO reliable! We could barely even get UBER. Our video will be. How we spent $50 a DAY!!!! Can't wait to see more and so sad we missed you!
Can’t wait to see the video! I’m sure it will have lots of valuable information, is always good to see others’ experiences too! Even for us is getting harder finding taxis when we need them, the city is suffering from high demand and a shortage of taxis but gov is trying to fix that, hopefully soon! The few times we have needed a taxi, we even had to wait for an hr to find one, and I’m in a very local area of the city, I cannot imagine in the main touristy area, impossible 😑 Tavuk sis is great! Grilled chicken has a really good taste, all Turkish food is good, I’m a big big foodie and in Turkey I feel like in a foodie paradise 😅😅 Next time you make it here let’s catch up!
Hi Beri, I like your channel, only useful information!!! Next year in May we plan a trip to Istanbul with family and friends. We booked the hotel in advance and I'm really looking forward to it! But, I read complaints from some guests who had booked accommodation at a good price in advance, that the hotel had raised the price of accommodation more than twice at the last minute and did not accommodate them at that previously agreed price. Don't have any information on whether this is a common problem or just an exception?
Maybe you can check crossing via Trabzon, from there you can find more direct transportation to Batumi for example. You can either take a direct bus from Trabzon to Batumi or from Trabzon, take a mini bus to Hopa and then from Hopa a bus to the border, cross by foot, and then take another bus to Batumi, all depends on the buses’ schedules.
Hi Emu, we didn’t write the name because they had hidden %20 service fee and %10 another fee for the water, bread etc. we didn’t find it worth recommending after seeing extra fees.
hi Bery My wife and I are visiting Istanbul middle of next month, we love your blogs and would be nice to meet you if you are available. Would you let us know. Thanks
Food wise we opted to have bed and breakfast as going out with kids in the morning looking for food could get difficult. A meal would cost us around 200TL for the family of 5, mostly American franchises like burger king etc
Thank you for informative videos. Which is a good local website in English to look for hotels. I feel if you are logging in from different countries then the price goes up.
Beautifully explained and love the details. Also gives ideas to include in my next destination vlog. Am just back from Turkey. Will start editing soon. ☺️👍
Excelente video Bery! Quiero ir a Estambul y otras ciudades en Turquía en el 2022, hay restricciones por lo del bicho? Saludos y Amo Amo tus videos y tu fabulosa información❣️
I'm so glad you are still in Turkey, after all the pandemic and the political stuff as well. I love it just as much, but don't come near as often as I'd like.
How about to stay Asian of Istanbul side hotel if person not intrested noisy night life just use marmaray for transportation and back to hotel by 9 pm and start early? It will save money on accomodation?
Excellent video. I have a question about the Reina Sofia and the Blue mosque. Do I really need a like a tour , can I get the tickets outside the place, and also is a too far from each other? . Please guide us regarding this issues
We're visiting Istanbul for a week. Is there enough to do or should we visit other places outside the city in that week. We have a 2 year old boy with us. I noticed not many people have their young children on the streets? What area would you recommend we stay
Hi Beri. I'm planning to visit Turkey in July. Is it Covid safe? Any restrictions on public transport? Also plan to buy Turkish lamps, handicrafts and Anatolian carpets, please advise where or which shops to go to for genuine products and fair prices. And where can I exchange currency. Thanks 😊😊
Is it save to visit turkey now , I’m hoping to visit turkey on early may , what requirements do I need ??? I’m USA citizen Best regards from Anaheim, California
Hello Bery. Could you please write down a hotel name (mid range) in Gálata area ? I believe this area is also close to the main attractions. Correct ? Thank you for your help !
Hi Bery, My wife and I love your videos 👍🏻 We are planing on visiting Istanbul in May with oir 2 sons and want to stay for a few months. Would you recomend a hotel or airbnb type a stay? Our goal is to experience the city and potentially find an appartment to buy. What areas would you recomend? Thank you so much and we are looking forward to the next videos 🙌🏻
For a long stay, I’d recommend Airbnb, specially in areas such as Cihangir in the European side or Kadikoy on the Asian side (Kadikoy is much more affordable) but both are well connected with public transportation.
That was a great exposition of information on Istanbul. Very helpful for me. Now question for you. I have about 7 hours of layover in Istanbul coming up soon. Taking into account getting from airport and back plus time to go through security what would your recommendation be for what to hit in a quick visit?
i am searching for ticktes beforehand for the sightseeing. You said 100 liras ( 3 euros) in the video but i only see tickets for 50 euros... am i doing something wrong?
This video was recorded in 2021 so the prices have changed. I suggest you checking this video for updated prices: ruclips.net/video/50G9lmeoYB8/видео.html
Can you make a video or recommend some nice (mid/high end) restaurants for lunch/dinner for Turkish cuisine? I've been looking at TripAdvisor & Google Maps and it's full of tourist places. I'd like to visit some restaurants that you'd go with your friends or where you'd take a foreigner to try your cuisine.
Hi! We have all of that info and lists on our digital booklet available on our Etsy shop, there we have lists of restaurants for all budgets in Istanbul in local and touristy areas. If you are interested, you can get the booklet from this link: www.etsy.com/shop/BeryIstanbulTips?ref=profile_header
Very nice video’s. Going to Istanbul end of September- October. When checked hotel rates verse ones in video, the prices were double to quad triple more. I even put in March of 2023 and the same held true for those dates. I know inflation is higher now, but I’m at a total lose as to the prices now. I also checked several different web sites. Need help understanding. Thanks 😊
@@BeryIstanbulTips Appreciate your quick response. With Turkey opening up from Covid in June 2022, I’m guessing that is the major reason why; especially with the strong US dollar. Your thoughts? Thank you
Hola ví un vídeo de una pareja que llegaron a un hotel reservado por Expedia y les dijeron que la habitación estaba inundada y no habían más habitaciones libres, pero que los podían acomodar en otro hotel. Y el otro hotel era mucho más económico. Sabes cómo evitar este tipo de estafa? Gracias
Can you recommend a site where we can get local tour gides in Istanbul? We are coming to visit Turkey en of July 2022, and would love to experience Turkey at its best. PS. We are from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hi Greg! You can send me an email to beryistanbultips@gmail.com, we have a good friend of ours who is a certified tourist guide in Istanbul, you can share all the details by email : how many people, exact dates so that I can send her that to check her availability and if she says yes, I can give you her contact 🙏
Thank you for the lovely tips.. This seems like it's for a short trip. What does a budget look like for a month? I'm planning on staying in Istanbul for about 3 months.. I noticed that the monthly rent on Airbnb is very affordable.
This is not for a short trip, we did it showing what can you spend on a day approx, that way you can add it according to the days you are going to stay.
@@BeryIstanbulTips Okay I see thank you.. I guess in that case, it would make sense to stay in an Airbnb for longer period because staying in a hotel for more than a month would be very expensive.
Even for us is difficult finding taxis from streets or apps, government has been trying to put more in service to cover the high demand of taxis in the city.
@@BeryIstanbulTips the option that worked sometimes was flagging down a taxi and negotiating rates that we felt was reasonable. Other than that, trams were an excellent mode.
The reason is simple: the exchange rate 😂 Check the video’s date, the rate obviously is not the same as in December 2023… This video was shared on Dec. 11th, 2021, that means, 2 years ago when the usd was around 13 TL. Today’s rate is around 29TL per usd.

Thank you for the lovely tips.. This seems like it's for a short trip. What does a budget look like for a month? I'm planning on staying in Istanbul for about 3 months.. I noticed that the monthly rent on Airbnb is very affordable.
This is not for a short trip, we did it showing what can you spend on a day approx, that way you can add it according to the days you are going to stay.
@@BeryIstanbulTips Okay I see thank you.. I guess in that case, it would make sense to stay in an Airbnb for longer period because staying in a hotel for more than a month would be very expensive.
New to your channel, looking forward to following.

You can use Google, just type USD to Euro ;)
Hi Bery some hotels mention no bedsheets what is that and why ?
No idea why is that! Each hotel has their policies.
Is it worth buying istanbul tourist pass?
Qué es exactamente una "snog room"?? what is exactly a "snog room"???
We never managed to get any taxi through Uber. Bitaksi was also not always available
Even for us is difficult finding taxis from streets or apps, government has been trying to put more in service to cover the high demand of taxis in the city.
@@BeryIstanbulTips the option that worked sometimes was flagging down a taxi and negotiating rates that we felt was reasonable. Other than that, trams were an excellent mode.

@@BeryIstanbulTips great 👍, has Turkey become more expensive or cheaper for tourists after fall of Lira?
For tourists its getting cheaper everyday, for us it is opposite.

I love Hafiz Mustafa pátiseri 😂 aber der Preis ist hoch
I am not sure how 1330 liras converted to 106 dollars?
The reason is simple: the exchange rate 😂
Check the video’s date, the rate obviously is not the same as in December 2023…
This video was shared on Dec. 11th, 2021, that means, 2 years ago when the usd was around 13 TL. Today’s rate is around 29TL per usd.
