Also, not welcomed in most African cultures too. Basically it’s the norm to take your shoes off at the front entrance door in the many cultures except in Western one.
1. Don't call yogurt "Greek yogurt" 2. Don't enter homes with shoes on 3. Don't look into people eyes longer than 2 seconds if u don't know them 4. Don't expect traffic to stop when you're about to cross the street 5. Don't pick a restaurant that doesn't have a menu (scamming tourists with overpriced meals) 6. Don't forget to bargain in bazaars especially for tourist. 7. Try not to wear high heels if exploring city on foot (a lot of uphill area everywhere) 8. Don't trust taxi drivers. Utilize phone apps (he recommends Apps in the video) 9? Avoid shopping in touristy areas

Hahahaahhahaha Türkiye’de ne zamandan beri kadına verilen zarar olay oldu yapma allah aşkına ya. Hayır bir de bir hafta önce yazmışsın yorumu şaka mı, bu ülkede kadına verilen zararın cezası özgürlük genelde, gerçekçi ol biraz.
I am currently in Istanbul and I’m from the UK 🇬🇧. Went for a meal last night on my own to a store/restaurant. It was such a great experience! Had a great conversation with a local with a few beers and great food! They where so welcoming :) I will be telling all my friends to visit turkey 🇹🇷 the people in my experience have been amazing! 🇹🇷 🇬🇧 ❤️
He is explaining bargaining while Pakistani people thinking about the embarrassment they had to bear when their mother's start fighting with shopkeeper on a slightly higher price 😂😂😂😂😂
I visited Turkey last month and to my surprise became obsessed with Ayran and Salgam water lol 6/21 Edit: I’m back in Turkey and just finished drinking 2 glasses of Ayran for bedtime 😬 Slightly obsessed lol
@Ελληνική Δημοκρατία Dude nationalism doesnt or shouldnt be the way you act, i saw your comments,you just spread hate and being racist.With this kind of behavior you only disgrace your own country, beleive me .
My favourite Ertugrul Ghazi Sultan Suliyman Osman Yunus Emre Seyat and sila Ishq e Mamnoon Duniya ki Kahani Love Turkey Hope to visit some day In Shaa Allah 😍
I am from Pakistan, but live in UK. I go to Antalya every year and I will visit Istanbul on my way back from Pakistan next year. I love love love Turkey. The people are so friendly, not just with Pakistanis, but with everyone. they love kids and will start playing with your kids while you are shopping in their shop. it is my dream to move permanently to Turkey. first I was thinking of moving to Istanbul, but after watching your Straight talk video about Antalya. I have decided that I will move to Antalya. but unfortunately, there are no jobs for me in Antalya :( ..... But I would say again, I love Turkey. everyone should go to Turkey at least once in their lifetime.
Dear Aladdin, That’s great to have your tips for people touring Turkey particularly Istanbul. Definitely, it will help a lot while we visit these places. I have been visited Istanbul many times & experienced the same difficulties what you have described but from now on’ i won’t be trapped by these scams. Thanks for guidance, God Bless You.
I’ve been living in Istanbul for 7 months, the country is beyond beautiful and I think the people are lucky to have a country with such an amazing history and archaeological sites. I have met really good and helpful people I can’t deny but SOME of the people disrespect u when they know you’re a foreigner, once I was in a shop looking for bags to buy, the shop keeper kicked me out and told me that he had nothing to sell me when heard me speaking in my language to my mother. Another time a notary talked really rudely to me because I said I could speak in Turkish but I made mistakes when I talked, though I didn’t say that my Turkish was full! I was SHOCKED and that was really disappointing 💔 I have experienced several situations like these in official departments💔 For me, it doesn’t make sense to be a touristic country’s population and yet act to people according to their nationality because this harms the country’s reputation, we’re all inhabitants of this planet! We can live peacefully as long as we respect and accept one another. there are both good and bad people like anywhere else in the world and ofcource the good people overcome the bad ones but despite that I think a magical country like Turkey deserves to represented better than this by its people to the world! Anyways I really love the country and the people and I've made great friends here, I hope I will no longer experience these situations. Love and respect to everyone❤️
Hello! I am sorry for the bad memories you had in Istanbul! I don't know where you are from. Turkey may be the last place to have racism. Turkish people are known as non racist and normally very respectful and curious to foreigners (if you are not Kurdish or Armenian). Unfortunately this has been changing due to the massive immigration from 3rd world countries. The immigrants are causing problems and as their population are getting higher, Turkish people feel more and more uncomfortable. The Turkish Government is mosty blamed for this massive population of uncontrolled immigration to Turkey and i can say that Turkey is becoming a racist Country especially to Arabs, Iranians, Afghans... unfortunately. Personally i know there are only bad and good people in the world and it is unaccaptable to judge a person for his/her race but even i feel uncomfartable sometimes in a place in which the majority of people around me are foreigners, i live in Turkey, it shouldn't be like that! Anyways, i tried to explain the current situation but mostly people Will treat you nice once the recognize you are foreigner because they will still think you are rich:)
Wow I'm soot sorry I'm actually Turkish myself and I feel bad for people like this and it annoys me soo much I'm french and Turkish and I'm sorry for you experience in Turkey but I hope Turkey well be better in the future. I always loved Turkey soo much for so many years btw I live in France but I visit Turkey almost every year. I'm a huge of Turkey and Turkish drama flims but now I read you comment I feel soo bad I'm very sorry once again thank you for listening/reading this comment
@aysealtundal6712 Muslims in war forsaken countries are fleeing to Turkey for help. You should appreciate ur government for doing what is right. May ALLAH SWA grant us all understanding and compassion Ameen.
Fun fact 🇦🇱, Some of the pavement roads in Istanbul are called Arnavut Kaldrim, which means Albanian pavements. And also theres a famous region in Istanbul called Arnavutkoy, which means Albanian village. 🇦🇱
He is a friend of Pakistani RU-vidr wali khan , who is now shifted to istanbul . They are also making joint videos, and he is also learning urdu language,he is a very nice 👍 humble and honest person 🌹
Unfortunately we were scammed in a small restaurant near the Grand Bazaar. We do not speak Turkish, only my sister was speaking, and when she tried to speak with the owner of the place he refused to listen to her and asked her to remain silent in a rude way. Turkey is a very beautiful country, but unfortunately some people are not good and these actions harm their country's reputation. Thanks for these good advice.
@@nurankrimova282 This is true, in every country there are good and bad people, but the owners of tourist places in particular must deal with tourists in a better way because Turkey is a tourist country.
@@nurankrimova282 Please go back and read the first comment again. I have said some people, not all of them. I have no problem with the Turkish people or others. I met many good people there. I was just telling the thing that happened to me and I don't know why you feel so bad about it. As I said previously, there are good and bad people everywhere. Please read carefully before responding. Good bye 🖐.
Omg this video is so true and helpful for the people visiting Turkey for the first time!! And I’m in love with your channel😍😍❤️ lots and lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰
Turkish guys telling Pakistan's about bargaining who learn this skill, from their mothers in their childhood, who are considered master in this field. if anyone tells us price is 150 lira we starts from 10 lira and than final deals is on between 15 to 20 lira that too if we are lone but with ladies it's going to be exactly 10 liras otherwise move forward 😂😂😂😂
Thanks a lot for being so honest. This will be really helpful to so many people. I haven’t been there but still loved knowing these facts about Turkey. And you are doing an amazing job. 💙
I've been many times in Istanbul , I couldn't stop relating to all these things , back in my earlier trips , particularly enjoyed the bargain example haha, I suck at bargains, and surely I've been ripped off more times than I can tell . but i adore your country, and I've learned. Great content
I was in Istanbul last May for five days, I just can say that I loved that, it seemed like very familiar to me although I've never been there before. Definitely I want to go there again.
I subscribe to, and watch a LOT ( probably too many!) travel/ expat channels. I have to say, your videos are among the most informative, useful and enjoyable of any I have seen. Thank you!
I am pakistanii. And i am watching you on first time. Start loving your vedio.. u r learning urdu its amazing. I watch turkish dramas and from that i am so interested to learn turkish language. For that i am taking help from youtube..
11:55 I would say go to those areas and shop "around" the tourist traps. Yes, the Spice Bazaar and the Grand Bazaar will often charge you more; however, if you walk around them- like Sirkeci and the backroads of Eminönü, Beyazıt and Sultanahmet, you actually might find some good deals on things to take home.
I found out through a DNA test that I am 20% Turkish. So funny, I've always loved things Turkish and and Turkish-like; love these videos: Can't wait to visit!
@Knight Rider So, you're saying that Turks don't have common DNA? What exactly are you saying besides being annoying by disagreeing with what I said when I wasn't even talking to you.
Turks r mongolian they belong to mongolia, and they attacked armenian and greeck land to build there own country there so there's nothing called original turk!
@@suils6191 Turks are NOT Mongolian. Look at a picture of a Mongolian and look at a picture of a Turk, the type of architecture they use, their language. They are different; the "Mongolian/Turk" you are inventing doesn't exist and the Turkish DO exist. They did NOT attack Armenian and Greek land as Mogolians BUT for the sake of argument lets just say they did: The Mongolians conquered almost every land possible during that era; there would have been nothing special about them ALSO conquering Greece or Armenia (which to them was like a spare time weekend operation). They were like the Roman empire. That's like saying that the British and French are a non culture and have no DNA (no life code) because at one time they were Roman. The original Turk is the present day Turk; the DNA code for that is consistent with the Caucuses region and is distinct; NOT with Mongolia, or any other region. So you're wrong. I don't know what purpose it serves you to argue that Turks have no idenity; but I do know such anti ethnic theory doesn't and won't ever prove up. That's why the DNA tests have a Turkish category distinct from Mongolian; they don't over lap. A Mongolian isn't going to come up as a Turk and a Turk doesn't come up as a Mogolian. If Turks have no identiy then no one else in the Caucuses does either. Those overlap more than anything Mogolian. Seriously. lol.
@@vendorcommercialprograms7578 I have no problems with turks and I'm not trying to insult them, they already mentioned that they were come from mongolia even in their series, they were muslims and ran away because of a mongolian violence that's what the history say and that's what I had read about them and what everybody know
@@suils6191 thats not true turks came from where east turkistan is or xijang is, and there are still turks living there, only two big tribes and few smaller tribes moved to the west, others moved to the south and some just stayed, mongols and turks have different tribes and only a few tribes had beef some where okay and there where even mixed tribes
You are right about young tourists getting taken for a ride, however, I and my wife were disabled and they went out of their way to take care of us and make sure we were taken care of. Young kids wanting to have fun will be taken for a ride. LOVE TURKEY, and the people.
Thank you for your amazing efforts and awesome creativity in educating foreigners about your country. Turkey has been portrayed in a bad light lately but it's a spectacular country with very welcoming people and fantastic opportunities! I always learn something new from your captivating, authentic and fun videos and I really admire your inspiring enthusiasm, energy, style and professionalism. You are a rock star 🌟 💫 ⭐️
Important information and will be help full for visitors. Scammers are all over the world not only in Turkey but all should be careful. Turkey is beautiful country and there have many amazing places. I love Turkey and love to visit insallah.
I am greek but i don't believe yogurt and coffee is Greek but not Turkish either. I believe comes from the mix of culture 100 and more years, when people live together and they were friends.
@Ελληνική Δημοκρατία μπορεί να δημιουργήθηκε το 5000 πχ αλλά ίσως στη μορφή που είναι σήμερα το έφερε ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος που μεσουράνησε στη Περσία το 300 πχ. Ίσως πολλά στοιχεία απο ανατολίτικη κουλτούρα έγιναν μιξ από εκείνη την περίοδο. Ούτε ιστορικός είμαι ούτε θυμάμαι λεπτομέρειες από το σχολείο αλλά ίσως οφείλεται σε αυτόν. Το να με αποκαλείς αμόρφωτη δείχνει το δικό σου επίπεδο.
@Ελληνική Δημοκρατία Η ένωση των πολιτισμών μας λόγο της επεκτατικης πολιτικής του Μέγα Αλεξάνδρου στην Περσία καθώς και της περιόδου της Τουρκοκρατία αιώνες μετά, αλλά και γενικότερα όλης της μίξης που υπήρξε μεταξύ των πολιτισμών μας όλους αυτούς τους αιώνες έκανε τις διατροφικές μας συνήθειες να μοιάζουν... Δεν δημιουργήθηκαν όλα σε μια νύχτα αλλά με το πέρας των χρόνων. Και η φέτα για παράδειγμα είναι ΠΟΠ ελληνική αλλά την φτιάχνουν και σε άλλα μέρη του κόσμου. Το ότι ένα προϊόν έχει καθοριστεί ως Ελληνικό ή τουρκικό δεν σημαίνει ότι είναι όντως Ελληνικό ή Τουρκικό αποκλειστικά... Προέρχεται από την μίξη των πολιτισμών μας πάνω από 3000 χρονια+. Ίσως η Μαρία να μην έβαλε σωστό αριθμό λέγοντας 100+ αλλά το point ήταν το ίδιο... Μην είστε λοιπόν επικριτικός γιατί γίνεστε αγενής... Και ένας αγενής ντροπιαζει περισσότερο τη χώρα μας από έναν αμόρφωτο... Και αν θέλετε να μορφωθείτε σωστά παρακαλώ ανοίξτε και ένα βιβλίο. Δεν θα τα βρείτε όλα στο Wikipedia. Καληνύχτα.
Excellent video.Especially the advice about Istiklal street is very important. Be very careful everyone.I went few years ago and people approached as mentioned but thankfully I was quick to spot they were swindlers.
I am a frequent visitor to Turkey, have been to many places there especially İstanbul. I wish I could visit each and every inch there and then restore ❤🇹🇷❤
I moved to Istanbul almost 5 years ago and I can say everything you told is right on point! You managed to offer info in a very funny way! Great video! 😃
5:11 That scenario has also happened to some Turkish guys I know (who were young at the time) as well as some tourists that came. Thanks for warning folks about this.
Thanks for the great tips what not to do 😉 I should especially be careful with cars as I’ve lived in Finland for 12 years so far 😂 So looking forward to Istanbul in May!
I remember all of these moments happening hahaha... one funny moment happened to me that was very general. I asked a taxi driver to drive me from near istanbul mall to the nearest metro station and he told me oh no I will take you to a better location. I let him get me there, and I got off and gave him the exact amount that I first asked for. He got so mad and started shouting, I just walked away and told him god bless you.
Very nice video. Such introductions and instructions are really good and useful to tourists. God bless you dear.🙌🙌 We find good and bad people everywhere.😊
Brother Love this informative video Being a Turkish you all so cover the bad side(scam) of Turkey too which most people won't do it as they don't want to portray negative image of their country but its comon thing happen in every country.. I know Turkish people are very kind and hospitable and few people doesn't count and we Pakistanis love our brother Turkey.. I hope you also visit Pakistan especially northern areas 👍
In Canada, wearing shoes in someone's home is a big no no - not just an eastern thing. But yes, some western cultures don't care about outdoor shoes inside, fr some reason...
.You can't enter the house with shoes because how much dirt is out there, you carry it to the house, we never step on the carpet with shoes, it's more important😂🤣..We love Turkish customs and rules
Eve ayakkabı ile girmememizin sebebi dışarısı kirli oluyor ve ayakkabılar aracılığı ile ev kirleniyor. Zeminin temiz olması bizim kültürümüzde önemli o yüzden ayakkabı dışarıda bırakılır ve ev temiz kalır
