Escaping Istanbul 🇹🇷
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- We escaped Istanbul on a ferry headed to a paradise island just off the coast!
That island is called Burgazada, she is one of the few princes islands, a small chain of islands right next to Istanbul Turkey!
First we checked out the ancient Greek church on the island before hitting up Burgazada's oldest bakery for some snacks.
Now we had some sustenance in us we hiked up to the monastery on the top of the island, the views on the way up were bloody fantastic.
We then hit up an old school tea shop for some Turkish tea and coffee.
Time for the beach! We tried to find a nice clean quiet beach but things just went downhill, the beaches were absolutely covered in litter it was disgusting and not worth it whatsoever.
Fuming about the beaches I went on a fat rant about how much I hate RUclipsrs and how they are all extremely boring and carbon copies of each other.
We then took the ferry back to Moda, Istanbul AKA gentrified hipster hell and called it a day.
Burgazada was bloody beautiful, just a shame people from Istanbul come and trash the place... 🇹🇷

THANKS FOR THE SHOUTOUT MY LAD !
Top man.
Bruh
Another good and honest video. I look foreword to each new vlog. I love how you both interact with locals… Thats what i watch for. The interactions! Ive gone back and watched through most of your videos. And love the ones with your parents. Your dads a character.lol. I started watching yall in India and have scene from then till current. Also watched your older stuff from the start in Colombia to Thailand and all the country’s in between. I loved all the balkins series. Great organization on the playlist btw. Anyways just want you to know you two are some of my favorite youtubers amd look foreword to every video. Much love from Maine,USA. A loyal sub❤
We appreciate you so much means a lot to us ❤️🙏 have a lovely day cheers for tuning in always!!
Most hilarious video I’ve seen in a while. Your observations about RUclips and people are spot on. I have eaten street food and been to Michelin Star restaurants I’ve seen on RUclips that were supposed be the best ever but were shite.
We're fed up of em all ahah! Everyone chats rubbish! Cheers for tuning in we appreciate ya ❤️🙏
Ellis and Leish, keep going to these off the tourist track places, as it always seems there are better adventures to be had. Especially, as it allows you to talk to the locals, which I notice that many other travel vloggers eschew. And talking to the locals is really what you do well, because it is quite evident that you are genuinely interested in local people, and this is so alluring for the viewer. Your ability to be candid and not hide issues is another reason your content is so compelling, as it gives a potential traveller a better appreciation of what they will see, rather than a curated view that isn't honest. Continue to call out the pretenders, and please keep recommending good channels that are worthy of our time. Really good work, and it shows in the subscriptions - congratulations!
Really appreciate the kind words! This is what we love to do we're not doing things for YT! We are actually passionate and I'm glad you can see that! Have an amazing day
We got the heck out of Istanbul weyyyy. Beats the big miserable city any day.
Last one here then we're off somewhere new stay tuned!
Just avoid Egypt. The worst country for tourists, the biggest scammers and the worst food . Worse than dehli belly .. if you go , brush your teeth with a schott of vodka or tequila to stop food poisoning. The people and the country stink . Its rotten to the core
@@stefanmarks1381Ahahaha we thought about visiting next time in the area just to see if it's as bad as they say. Love an argument with some good scammers.
Totally!
That island looked nice and pleasant in some parts! I loved those quiet streets and the architecture!
Man it was peaceful!!
I loved your respecting the planet rant you went on. I dont know why people think its okay to trash beautiful places we live at and visit. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and healthy!
Why would you ever do that to anywhere? Especially your own country aha, look how nice that place is and they've ruined it. Proper wombles!!
Thanks guide for us to see beautiful places
Thanks!!
Big ups!!! You guys are a breath of fresh air keeping it real. Too many cringe travel RUclipsrs these days just copying and pasting the same script.
Thanks a lot we appreciate you watching! It's getting worse and worse every year aha ah well!
Hi Elis & Alicia... What a beautiful and peaceful Island, but so sad to see rubbish on the beach. For me, if someone are not respect the nature, definitely they won't respect many aspects in life. All the best for your next destination. Tc.
You are exactly right!!
Beach is a beach. People shouldn't have to throw any trash on in any beach 😢 it makes me sad and angry at the same time. Disgusting!!
Haven't seen you both on RUclips for a couple of days. Hope you guys are all safe and sound.
❤❤
@@supatracross5172 so sad isn't it. We will be slow for a bit Supatra 🙏❤️
I went to Buyukada Island, it’s a larger island and great to get some island life, had some character, beautiful nature and interesting old houses. Had a good walk around 😊 Nice break from busy Istanbul
Also looks lovely we had a coin flip between em! All very beautiful aren't they!
Enjoyed the video...Beautiful island views/wildflowers, lovely beach/birds...Gorgeous Byzantine churches/cobbled roads...the perfect island retreat!
Beautiful isn't it soo quiet
@@EllisWRyeah like a private island...even had a delish bakery! Will try baking a similar apple turnover👌
@@JaneDoe-jl5it Hope she comes out beautifully!
Your channel has left Kurdistan and is no longer active
I didn't come to look at Turkey
I came as your support♥️✨
Wow! Whata beautiful view..!
Beautiful isn't it
“I don’t know how to take a photo” 0:51 😂😂
Did you stay in the Asian side of Istanbul? It was sooo much nicer and cheaper than the Euro side. I went on those ferries too they were hella cheap. Is it still cheap there? The inflation was insane two years ago.
We stayed in Moda and hated it man was gentrified and full of weirdos. Was only chilling working tho! It's not cheap at all it's super overpriced close to Europe prices!
@@EllisWR Damn. I was there during end of pandemic so I enjoyed it. Everything was super cheap.
Lovely island indeed! so quiet in comparison with Istanbul! What's with the funny walks? 😂
Realised nobody would watch the Turkey vids mate so just filmed this mess ahah. Island was lovely tho.
@@EllisWR Haha, people are still watching though!
It's very nice how you think about life, I would love to hear more personal stories about traveling. I really enjoy watching your videos, you can see that it is real and that you guys are not pretending for the likes. keep going with the good work😊
Hey thanks! Maybe we'll be more personal if people enjoy it! Really appreciate it 🙏❤️
I don't care what anyone says, you guys are all right.
Cheers appreciate you big time!!
Are there people who have been posting negative comments? Is that the issue? If so that happens on everyone's YT pages and it's an unfortunate reality of the time we live in, and that type of criticism from trolls.
@@curious1264 I get em all the time but couldn't care less. People love to assume things online and slander others, well more fool them aha.
Stay positive, lots to be thankful for in life, the two of you are living a good one! Never mind the inauthentic and less creative ones on YT (They fill their niche) and you and a few others show us a more authentic side of places beyond the tourist hubs of "must see's and do's". A agree wholeheartedly on the cringiness of shoving tips and showering someone with a months salary. I find it wrong and distasteful on many levels. If you must donate do it quietly, and without the camera.
@@curious1264 You get it completely. I appreciate our viewers a lot cos we're all on the same page. We'll never be huge doing what we do, but that ain't why we do this so we're happy as larry! Have a top week!
🎉🎉
44:12 Bro u are unique and honest ❤🗿
It is what it is gotta keep it real init
Your long hair is making you wiser by the day. The wisdom of Ellis WR 2024. 14:42 The funky walk, lol.
More like the longer it gets the worse I get ahah
I use a ferry everyday to go to college there on the european side 😅
It's nice!
❤❤
❤️
very nice 👍😊
Very niiiiceeee!
😩 The way ya 'bully' the cats, though! 🫣🤧😂
Little muppets mate
@@EllisWR Hahaha, bless 'em, they all love ya, though, bud! D'awwww, eh 🤧
All for the dogs ahah cats have been disrespecting me too much recently
@@EllisWR 😩😂 Disrespecting ya, y'know, hahaaa, fuck's sake! 🤧..... 'Ey, don't curse/jinx ya sen, though, t'next time you see one it'll have ya! 😂
Sorry I haven't been very active but Turkey and such countries just don't float my boat but hope you had a blast .
They don't float our boat either mate that's why we're outta here pronto! Tunisia was a right blast though upcoming! Where's ya top spots?
No need to apologise either mate! Loads of people Bob in and out of the channel depending on where we go! We appreciate ya no matter what
@EllisWR no, I still watch your Turkish series .its just I don't really have much to say 🤣🤣🤣
@EllisWR Tunisia should be an interesting watch ..
I prefer seeing how ordinary people live around the world mainly places where technology hasn't overpowered human skills and traditions. Indian countryside, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Cambodia etc ,remote places and island communities. Eastern Russia , Alaska and Africa ..
@@stefanmarks1381 Same as us then really! Will try do our best to get better at all this at some point aha.
Wish you would have looked a little closer at the only thing that was beautiful on that beach, all the purple flowers that were on the side of the hills. They looked like Morning Glories.
Sorry mate!!
I subscribe 🎉
Where is dan?........awsome channel
He's a top lad!

Maybe one day our friend lives there!
@@EllisWR waiting 🤣
Thanks for recommending where is dan, just subscribed to him. Love how real you are and not fake 💯 hope you and alica go really far. Love your little rants as well makes me laugh 😂 theres too many fake people unfortunately
He's a great lad! Thanks so much I hope people enjoy the vids aha we just do what we do!
The French 😂 that’s so spot on👍 i agree ❤❤❤
ahahah woops
That was an epic moan mate, enjoyed every second of it. I can’t stand the clickbait, the begging for subscribers and fakeness of RUclipsrs.
Thanks for the Whereisdan recommendation, that’s totally the type of content I want to watch.
Keep keeping it real guys
Lost my head aha I'm fed up to be fair, YT has become awful in recent years.
Dan's a good lad and has some right adventures!
Have a top day

I love your channel and I’m subscribed I love turkey and I am glad that you came to Iraq because I live there❤
Thanks so much!!
Philippines or Turkey if you had to spend a month at one??
Mate that's the worst ultimatum ever, I choose Philippines then will swim to Thailand straight away
@@EllisWR😂😂😂
Hi 👋 Ellis and Alicia, Hi 👋 guys ,
Hey Supatra how we doing today!!
Lovely place, far from Istanbul, cant believe.the beach though, such a shame people just leave there rubbish there 😞no respect at all
Looking forward to where your heading next 😀
Hope you like the next series!! ❤️
@@EllisWR loving it all ready,nice to see what Tunisia is like
:)
Fully agree about the RUclipsrs. Love the moaning and showing the reality.
It's awful recently! That beach would have been stunning if people didn't abuse it so badly.
The reality is that they've become bored with travelling!
@@michaelhodgson9081 We definitely ain't mate or else we wouldn't still be doing it. We don't do this for money n views like most on here we do whatever we enjoy. Unfortunately had to pass through Istanbul to fly to next destination. Otherwise would have never ever visited cos we have no interest in these places!
Kurdish ppl love eating turkey 🦃 it's Delicious !!
I like eating turkey
@@EllisWR Legend.
Stpd mtfckrs. This is exactly what you guys are, a bunch of sht
I’m so early
Legend!!
Great idea 39:09 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I agree
world a better place init
@@EllisWR yeah right🤣
A proper moan but very funny as your observations are bang on the money 😂 all over the world knobheads carry heavy stuff to beauty spots & then dump the light & empty packaging at such place creating a shithole. How easy & simple it was to leave it in a bin back at the port. Your honesty & authenticity of exploration makes your channel one of the best & most interesting

🙏
Hillarious how RUclips subs northern accent, doesn't get "moan" right once. Whole meaning of second half gone :D
Ahaha sorry! I used to try re write the subtitles but it takes hours and made me miserable. Only understands californian accents
@@EllisWR "English are morning bastards" had me in stiches
Ignore Ellis those were impressive Asian squats.👏👏👏
She's better than me ahah my knees give in
Istanbul is a great City, Why Didn't you Like it ? 😅❤❤ much love
Very modern, expensive, grumpy people, nothing unique. Not for us!
@@EllisWR I kinda Agree 👍, hope we'll see you again in Kurdistan soon 🤝🤍
Maalesef hayvanlarda çöpleri dağıtıp karıştırıyor.ama bazı insanlarda onlardan farksız değil
Yeah that is true! I've seen many people throw their litter though :(
Hi together willkommen in Kürdistan 🎉❤
Hey!
Loved your rant 😂😂😂all true, though
Everyone's a whopper
@EllisWR personally, I can't stand reward for honest worker videos and haircut/shave vids 🤣🤣🤣
I do think visiting some main tourist attractions are worth filming but without the theatrical on screen wows .
My pet hate is self-service tills in shops and other places .when they were introduced, we were told these machines would mean lower prices .. Yeah, right 🤣. ok, in general, they are quicker, but people don't understand that for every 3 or 4 machines, someone doesn't have a job . Then the same people that use them and other technologies complain that unemployment rates and poverty levels rise ..twats 😂
Your comments give us hope in this world
แมวเยอะจังน่ารักทั้งนั้น
Many many cats!!
That's it, innit, if summat's shit then its shit, nowt wrong wi' sayin' how ya feel! 🤷♂️..... Ya cant polish a turd, innit! 🌝..... I mean, yeah, ya can roll it in some glitter, try spruce/jazz it up a bit 'n that, but, yeah, it's still SHIT, innit!
Ahahaha exactly that mate!!! It is what it is init
@@EllisWR Yep! It is what it i-iiisss! None o' that beat around the bush shite, just say it how it is, fuck being a fickle, weak, 'try TOO hard to people-please' bastard, innit! Iiiinsoide 🤧🤸♂️
Ciao ragazzi 👋
hey my friend!!
Just remember they will pump the prices up becareful. That plant doesnt cost 200……
I know ahah it is garlic! We bought it cheap in the last video. They think your daft!
دو با ره وه ره بؤكوردوستان❤❤❤❤
Taxi can drive you in a circle bedore your destination 2 scam usually they say this road is closer. Use maps on your phone to the destination
That is a classic one ahah when they ever try do that we just refuse to pay the extra they ran up on the meter, we don't take any rubbish
Weirdo? ❤️😁 you can’t hate cats! 🐈⬛
Dogs all the way ahaha. Some countries cats are OK then some countries I swear they are rubbish
Ellis just dumped the whole clip on travel youtubers 😂BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SHOTS FLYINNNN
There all frauds mate I'm telling ya. Heard many things and can without a doubt say they are mostly all wombles.
Rubbish sells nowadays though it's a shame.
@@EllisWR TALKKK TO DEM BRO 😂
@@Maydaymusik Banger tunes mate go on layd!!!
@@EllisWR 🫡
Seems to me that you are becoming bored with travelling! I've seen it a few times following other people's vlogs! When they get negative and just end up complaining about stuff! And they eventually end up going home for a bit!
We get bored in boring places. We're always negative when somewhere rubbish to be fair. Next destination happy as larry again! We have been on it for like 3 years non stop aha so will soon have a little rest n all.
i love turkey! i watch your videos but you defo been a moody moany bleep that last 2 videos haha
Yeah to be fair sometimes we hate everything aha different strokes fer different folks! Next series is a happy one in a pretty cool country, I do appreciate ya watching by the way thanks a lot.
@@EllisWRnah bruh, your hate towards Turkiye and Turks comes from you’ve been to east Turkiye. You calling it KuRdIsTaN tells me everything I need to know about you. You just exposed yourself with your last 2 vids
@@Lebisss I don't care mate, not everyone likes your nation that's how life is. Go cry somewhere else.
@@EllisWR You don’t have to like it. I know it’s not for everyone. You look like a crckhead anyway. But just leave the damn country bro. People like you are the worst kind. Putting 2 vids online just to be a karen means the hate is deep. Spoiled british brat acting like a wannabe hippie. You’re even complaining about the cats. You’re crazy bro haahha
@@EllisWR that’s some bs. You moan and complain about a city you already knew you wouldn’t like it. Yes Istanbul is gentrified, you would know if you did your homework. You should have visited the black sea region, central anatolia or a village or something for a different kind of experience. You almost visited all the big cities and then complain about it being gentrified. Wow shocking. Do your homework next time you visit a county 😂
Hello darling 💗💗💗💗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏿✌🏿🥰🥰
Hey
Cats are very elegant and delicate animals, you love them in a rude way, this is very wrong.
I don't like cats. Many people don't, nowt wrong with that. Dogs all the way.
You don't hate cats. If you did, you wouldn't have touched all those cats on your way in every country you've traveled 😊😊i am Tunisian by the way and i like your videos in my country

We're happy next video again ahahah sorry. Let us off. We had fun in the east but we like old school stuff.
