Another great episode. The most impressive thing about your channel is constant quality improvement. Proof of your dedication and passion towards it. Continue with good work, cant wait for the next episode ✌️💯
Only watching half way of your video and I was able to catch a ferry from Eminonu and get to rumeli fortress. When I got back to my accommodation in SultanAhmet and finished the rest of your video, when you mentioned that rumeli fortress was closed due to renovations I would not have gone as the renovation was still happening but it was open. Great video. Love the professionalism.
These videos remind how much I love Turkey. Getting lost and figuring things out is always a buzz. I should be doing an assessment but I keep saying "just one more vid, then I'll get on" 😅
Great glimpse into what the ferries are like! I appreciate the disclaimer at the end. But as a public transport pro, I think I'd do it the way you did, but with perhaps more luck 😉
She abandoned us halfway through for another lap, (traitor) but then came back. hahaha Pretty sure she spent like two hours with us. It was honestly the best :)
What can you tell me about an organization where you can see the magnificent sunset and Istanbul skyline thanks to a boat tour on the Bosphorus and then complete the tour with a fun dinner? sunset and dinner tour with velena travel.
Thanks for the video; great information. This tour is something I would love to do too. Quick question: Did you use the Sehir Hatlari lines? I can’t seem to find a ferry all the way to Arnavutkoy/Bebek.
"We start at the ferry port near Galata Tower" . I think that would be Karakoy port, but it looks like you started from Eminonu port. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong as I am visiting in two weeks.
I say “Ferry port by Galata Bridge” not the tower, and yeah the terminal signage I show is accurate so when we buy our tickets and get in the ferry we were at Eminonu.
not sure what you mean by 'had to register the card you had already bought' , hoping to do the same trip on our visit early next year hence the ask..thanks
I believe it was a health registration. So I’m not sure if you still need to do that or not. I will say the purchasing of those tickets was a smidge complicated, along with managing the time tables. So I’d make sure you are comfortable with the boat operator websites, public transit, and what not before attempting this. Luckily though, even if you make a mistake, there are plenty of buses you can use as backup.
I think it must be amazing to sail on the Bosphorus. So much history and I bet it’s stunningly beautiful. A very cool idea to film doing it on your own. I also can’t imagine being limited to being on an organised tour. But tell me- did you meet any cats? Joke. I watched it all 😘😘😘
Lovely video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!

😭😭😭 Glad that it was at least open.
Thanks so much! 🥰
LOVE LOVE LOVE your vlog. I will be in Istanbul in June and appreciate so many of your recos. thanks again.
Thanks so much! We made 2 other videos in Istanbul and tons more in Turkey too! :D
These videos remind how much I love Turkey. Getting lost and figuring things out is always a buzz. I should be doing an assessment but I keep saying "just one more vid, then I'll get on" 😅
Hahaha been there. Glad to help you procrastinate. :)
Yes! It's so fun and chaotic.

Thanks! I hope you end up having more luck than us 😅
This channel is so amazing. Love your work.
Thanks so much! :D
Loved the shot where you moved the drink and the cat was behind. :-)
Hahahah thanks! We wanted to give the cat the cinematic treatment she deserved! :D
That little cat is so cute! It seems like it spent the whole evening with you.
She abandoned us halfway through for another lap, (traitor) but then came back. hahaha Pretty sure she spent like two hours with us. It was honestly the best :)

Thank you :) We had such a wonderful time
Thanks for the video; great information. This tour is something I would love to do too. Quick question: Did you use the Sehir Hatlari lines? I can’t seem to find a ferry all the way to Arnavutkoy/Bebek.
As a turkish when i saw him . I saw hey dude you going wrong way
lol it’s a little unclear!

You had a cat she was cute
Did you have to connect a HES code to your Istanbulkart or is that not a thing anymore? :)
Yes we did. What didn't make it into the video was that we could never set it up with our Istanbul card, so we had to keep buying regular tickets :/
Do you think istanbul clean and develope...?
I would say so. it remind me a little of Athens in the way that it is sort of chaotic.
I see workers constantly cleaning, so it’s pretty much clean and Istanbul is under developed.
I think it must be amazing to sail on the Bosphorus. So much history and I bet it’s stunningly beautiful. A very cool idea to film doing it on your own. I also can’t imagine being limited to being on an organised tour. But tell me- did you meet any cats?
Joke. I watched it all 😘😘😘
Thanks so much! It was really fun (but stressful) to film 😅
You know we’re going to tell you about every cat we see 😅
👍
😎
So what’s the damn challenge?
For people to watch the whole way through the vide ;)
