What I like about Rick Steve is that he is so positive about the people and places he presents. At a time when we're all becoming very suspicious or each other, Rick still shows us as common people, with hospitality towards visitors, pride in our customs, and more in common than differences. Thanks Rick.
I taveled half of Europe from Bulgaria to Norway and i can say that i have found lots of people like him who are so positive about cultures and people in general. More you travel, more you open-minded. We are not so different from each other even if we are living in different places, eat different foods and believe in different Gods. We al are human at the end.

Your city is beautiful! I've travelled in Turkey extensively, but never to Izmir...until last June. I loved it and kicked myself that I hadn't visited earlier. I liked the Agora, Alsancak, Kordon, Karatas and the Asansor, Kemeralti, Kadifekale, Karsiyaka, and of course the side-trip to Efes ve Selcuk. I only had six days exploring Izmir and it wasn't nearly enough. I've been to other regions of Turkiye (Trakya, Konya region, northeast, Bursa, Istanbul), but just something about the Ege pace of living, worldview, cuisine and history really gets me.
Sıla B Evet ve Tesekkurler! I like the Ege region vibe and atmosphere. Your city is beautiful and amazing. 6 days wasn't enough for me though, so another future return there is needed.
I am from turkey. Why all ppl asking about safe ? You must ignore your media news i think. Here is safe sure. We r not north africa ,arabia or afghanistan..

I've met and known many Turks who had Albanian, Bosnian or Georgian ancestry (which explains some of the more European or Caucasus looks), and I even knew one who Arabic and looked completely Arabic, but only knew and spoke Turkish. Looking back even farther, the Turkic tribes from the steppes merely conquered (and mixed) with a pre-existing population that already had a mix of Greek, Phyrgian, Hittite, Armenian, Galatian (Celtic), and Medean (Kurdish) strains.

You made me realize how much I miss Turkey. We were stationed in Izmir. I lived on the first cordon overlooking the bay. Really miss the people. Travelled a lot. Best assignment ever.
Turkish people are not European nor Asian. We're Eurasian. My mom's half Bulgarian (Pomak) and half Circassian. My father's mother was half Kurdish half Turkish and my father's dad was half Greek half Turk from Crete. What do you think am I? European or Asian? I have light brown hair, green slender-ish eyes and white skin. As I told you, We're Eurasians, we Turks have roots from Asia and Europe at the same time.
well you might not look like a typical Turk but you are still Asian as your country and culture is based on an Asian history. the rest of the world dont consider your nation to be European so why should you.
my mom half greek n half turk, my father's bulgarian turks. i was born in bulgaria but live in turkey. there are several million turks like us living in turkey. (kazak, azeri, uygur, arap-turks, sunni or alevi turks, balkan turks, christian-turk, turkmens, makedons-turk, kosova, siberian turks) who is turkey? who is turk?
I'm a Turkish, with Turkmen and Tatar mix, (both Turkic nations). My foreign friends have hard time classifying me as I have slanted(not much) greenish eyes with red hair with Asian like cheekbones :D
I spent a semester as an international student in Konya. It was my first time in Turkey and really allowed me to experience this side of Turkiye outside the tourist areas. It was definitely more "conservative", although there were some areas of the city not quite as much....After this, I got to know Istanbul in depth (including staying there three months in 2015). This last June (2017), I stopped over in Turkey again while on a trip to Avrupa, and this time visited Izmir. Its a shame Rick didn't show much of this beautiful city. I spent a week there (including a side-trip to Selcuk and Efes) and was astounded at the sites, stories and especially the Ege pace of life.
My dad did something like that, I went to a local state of Florida college I tossed up a job to build it. Turkey and zircon christmas star frisbee golf and wherever you travel
Yeah Konya is usually considered a religiously conservative region in Türkiye. You'd be better off visiting Izmir or Marmaris. These places are more secular.
another master piece from Rick!!! I love his show..thank you!! And Turkey is very high on my bucket list!!!! Hoping for peace and integrity for this region!!! What a wonderful country!!
Western Turkey is one of the most safe places in Turkey for women. It's actully full of modern, relaxed and happy people.You can visit western-eastern and any kind of place in Turkey safely.

I adore being in Turkey. Live the locations, cuisine, and friends. Words will never adequately explain how amazed I was when I toured the palaces, ruins, and subterranean hotels! The ice cream is excellent!
Turkish people are so kind warm hearted and helpful and the country rich in history culture good food and so much to see from the east to the west. Had a great time when i visited. Lots of love from Pakistan.
@Chris Challouma Romans were not Greeks,they were people of Romulus city who conquered the Greeks don't compare yourself to them.Biggest thing Greeks ever achived was with Macedonians which until Alexander the Great wasn't evem considered Greek.After Alexander died his Empire immediatly died so legacy Greeks made was thousands of deaths for an empire that didn't even survive half a century.
Chris Challouma why the ottomans have to build something to remember them when they actually still living in that country with 80+ Million population? Just the constitution has changed, not the population.
13:05-13:56 Pamukkale looks SO very beautiful and relaxed! The background music no doubt proves this. This could easily be one of my absolute favorite sites in the Mediterranean.
Hi Lale, Mert, and Mine! Thank you so much for being such amazing tour guides in Turkey. Truly enjoyed my time there and hope to be back in yhe near future! Rick has such a fantastic team there and it was a blessing to be part of the your this past September. (Lale was our guide for the Foodie Tour the day before the official Best pf Turkey Tour started. Our main guide was Mert during the 13-days and he was incredible! 🤓)
I went to Alanya one weekend, during my semester in Konya. Beautiful place and I loved the castle and of course the Mediterranean scenery. It was far more touristy than I would've liked though.
Omg the intro with backgamon,raki and gorgeous view of Mediterranean made me laugh so hard hahahahahah. Best way to show turkey’s western coast. I loved it
Great travel video, Rick Steves' videos are always so informative and professionally made. It's a joy to watch while also getting valuable information about the place
@Ahmet Sevim Başörtülü kadına yapandan da nefret ederim ama Konya bu konuda çok extreme seviyede. Dinin başkalarının özgürlüğünü engellememeli. Ve Konyalılar genel olarak bunu anlayamıyor.
As a Turkish citizen, I must say that I really enjoyed this video. I have never been to Konya, it looks like a city from another country, lol. I couldn't help laughing when Rick Steves liked the roads. :D

Ephesos was an ancient Greek city and It was built in the 10th century BC by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era it was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. The city came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC....It was not a Roman city!
I had the great pleasure of going to Turkey last November for three weeks and yes, we went to Ephesus. In Kusadasi, I remember being alone on the Main Street in the late afternoon and looking around on the way back to the hotel. I had the MOST DELIGHTFUL three hours talking to four backgammon players in front of a jewelry shop. A little flirting but we were all old (50+) and knew it was all in best. I would go back to Turkey if i could. Oh, and Konya... a dream come true to sit next to Mevlana’s (Rumi’s) tomb for an hour with the believers. So many wonderful memories. Thanks to Rick Steves for the review.
I'm a born and raised Istanbulite, and I've travelled around Turkey, so I'm aware of all the beauties Turkey has to offer, but I must say, your documentary is a top-notch. Loved it!
rick steves documentaries are the best. Keep it up rick. i love your channel. may you always be there to take people on their journey to the beautiful places of the world.
I recommend Kuşadası. My friend and I went in the August/September of 2013 and we had the best time on all the excursions. We only went for a week but felt it wasn't enough time to experience all the tours and things you could do there. The hotel we stayed at (Fortin Hotel) had tiny rooms (especially the bathroom) but they were a joy to stay with still and gave us a warm good bye so I felt like I didn't want to leave. The men can be over friendly if you're two single girls though lol so watch out for them.
Thanks for this tour tour Rick. Great tour in Turkey towards Antolia great trip In west Turkey.?love waterside and mountains .Nice tut in 1980s more commercial but still worth a visit .AnnDeakin Warwick UK
Western Turkey reminds me of so much like GREECE especially the ruins and the Mediterranean Sea and everything about it except the flags and women wearing the head things .... I also liked when he kept saying Roman everything when obviously it is made by the Greeks and the letters on the Ancient Ruins were of course in Greek and the architecture too!!!!!!!
Seeing all these greek alphabet on these ancient ruins make me feel sorry for the destroyed culture and language of Anatolians. Lidyans, the inventors of currency, Hittites, Carians, Isaurians and many more... All of them got destroyed and Hellenized by Greeks.
+David Hoban "the women wearing the head things" do exist all around the world, including all over Western Europe not only in Turkey. Kind of a funny comment. No offense...
Stas Palixron Read a history book and then you'll find out the Hellenization (destruction) of Anatolia and it's people's language by Alexander the not so Great
Those pizza's look absolutely delicious! I would travel there just for a bite of the pizza! What an amazing place. I want to visit Turkey before my life on this earth is finished. Who wouldn't be in love with life if they were lucky enough to live somewhere such as this?

We only went for a week but felt it wasn't enough time to experience all the tours and things you could do there. The hotel we stayed at (Fortin Hotel) had tiny rooms (especially the bathroom) but they were a joy to stay with still and gave us a warm good bye so I felt like I didn't want to leave. The men can be over friendly if you're two single girls though lol so watch out for them.
I was there at the same time as you. Stayed at Charisma hotel.
I can't imagine how someone can be proud about someone else's culture and structures..for real..blows my mind!!

@Ilikepyro That is totally wrong. We have and are living with our own culture.

Thanks for this tour tour Rick. Great tour in Turkey towards Antolia great trip
In west Turkey.?love waterside and mountains .Nice tut in 1980s more commercial but still worth a visit .AnnDeakin Warwick UK
Western Turkey reminds me of so much like GREECE especially the ruins and the Mediterranean Sea and everything about it except the flags and women wearing the head things .... I also liked when he kept saying Roman everything when obviously it is made by the Greeks and the letters on the Ancient Ruins were of course in Greek and the architecture too!!!!!!!
Seeing all these greek alphabet on these ancient ruins make me feel sorry for the destroyed culture and language of Anatolians.
Lidyans, the inventors of currency, Hittites, Carians, Isaurians and many more... All of them got destroyed and Hellenized by Greeks.
+David Hoban "the women wearing the head things" do exist all around the world, including all over Western Europe not only in Turkey. Kind of a funny comment. No offense...
Women dont wear that thing here in turkey. They are arab tourists
Stas Palixron Read a history book and then you'll find out the Hellenization (destruction) of Anatolia and it's people's language by Alexander the not so Great
+MickeyChannel you are right
I have only been to Istanbul and fell in love with it. I cannot wait to visit the rest of beautiful Turkey!
Wonderful country and people! Loved my visits there!
I LOVE THIS SHOW, IS AMAZING IN EVERY SINGLE WAY. THANKS
Those pizza's look absolutely delicious! I would travel there just for a bite of the pizza! What an amazing place. I want to visit Turkey before my life on this earth is finished. Who wouldn't be in love with life if they were lucky enough to live somewhere such as this?
