He says " vakum paket "" He could make vacuum packet for you to take to Canada. 😊 It's not regular tea 😊Made old traditional way: tea leaves steamed on top and flavour slowly released. Steamer at the bottom. You could tell it's traditional way because the colour is bright not cloudy as with 5 sec tea bags dipped in boiled water. And that's Turkish Coffee, long before Espresso. Ottoman Empire opened the first cafes in Europe, in Vienna and Budapest - was part of Ottoman Empire - and Constantinople(capital of Ottoman Empire and Roman Empire)/Istanbul and introduced coffee to rest of Europe. But Ottoman Empire had discovered coffee from its African states. No you leave the thick bottom part. That's for turning the coffee cup over, let it cool down for someone to read your present and future. Steve! Your wife is right 😊Try in Turkey. Maybe you had Baklava in Canada. I'm sorry they keep those Baklava in the shop nearly a month, more like a rock and also made with margarine and peanuts. Sorry, that's not Baklava. Baklava is made daily, sold daily in Turkey. And it's flaky not like rock, and made with butter and nuts could be hazelnuts, pistachio, walnuts. Never margarine or peanuts. That Döner place you went in the market in Kadiköy, I think it's the cheapest Döner and Lokma takeaway shop in Turkey 😂If I go to Asia to visit my relatives, I always pop in that market to have coffee and cake across the church in the centre ( the one you saw after getting lokma😊The one wearing the hat is the staff has been there for years and years has a nearly 40 year old son, and the one without the hat is the owner) , do fresh fish, fruit and vegetables shopping then have a quick bite take away at that Döner place because they're always friendly and food is good for the price. Otherwise, to sit down I go to the one at the entrance, the old workers men restaurant because their quince with cream dessert is yummy, and also price is good for a lunch restaurant. Your wife seems having such a peaceful aura and also smart. Listen always your wife because women always know better 😉🧿
These "Blue-Eye" talismans/lucky charms (they protect against the "evil eye" of envious people) are definitely Turkish/turkic culture and not Greek. Historically, Turkic folks live from the Balkans/Eastern Europe to West China til the great wall of China, so they brought their culture with them to three continents. You can also see "Blue Eye" lucky charms in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Siberia, and in large regional parts of Russia, wherever Turk folks have lived for thousands of years. Greeks are culture thieves they steal and copy everything from the Turks, our food culture, our carpet motifs, our art works, as well as our lucky charms and other historical Turkish items.
This is not baby blue, but turquoise, (turqu-oise = Turk color) the cultural and historical color of all Turkic tribes. The color "blue" in all variations is also a typical copy/imitation of the Greeks. The first banner (flag/Sanjak) of the Turks was a turquoise flag with a crescent and star, or other motifs depending on the tribe, but the basic color was always turquoise or light blue.
Bir turistin, gezginin gözünden kendi yaşadığım şehri dinlemek çok değişik miş bana normal gelen çoğu zaman ilgimi bile çekmeyen şeylerin ne kadar da özel olduğunu farkettirdi yanlış anlaşılmasın ülkem Türkiyem benim için çok kıymetli ve özel sadece farklı bi pencereden bakmamı sağladı bu videoyu izlemek 😊
What a difference from when I was in Istanbul for a few days back in 1971. Back then the weather was grey and it gave the feeling of a post war espionage movie; there were no skyscrapers nor suspension bridge. However, found the people to be very friendly and hospitable. Thank you for sharing, it revived fond experiences.
I've traveled to many countries in Europe and Asia in the past 15 years, but Istanbul is by far my favorite place. I hope I'll be living there one day.
Oh you're in my beloved Kadıköy, the best neighborhood in Istanbul. Guys, while in Turkey, do not miss the beyran soup and the katmer dessert, two of the best Turkish dishes, though not that well known as others
I am Turkish-Canadian and thanks such a very educational and colorful video. Love the vibe. Most known symbol of Turkiye if you ask me as a Turkish, I will say the evil eye (Nazar Boncugu). It is very Turkish. Enjoy your trip and have a lot of fun. I also traveled many countries but Turkish people are the most incredible and friendly people.
From one Canadian to both of you. Love your channel. I like the way you'll interact with people who don't speak English. There are lots of good people in this world and we just have to be patient to learn they culture. Also love your commentary on whatever you see. Always like the postives of every place. Love you'll as a couple travelling the world. Take and stay safe.
6:40 How to make purple olives? Blueberry Purple Olive - Berceste Green olives collected from the branch are kept in pools for flavoring for 15 days. Green olives are sweetened by changing the juice to a certain extent. After sweetening the olives in these pools, they are rested in blueberry and beet juice to get their aroma.
0:10 For clarification, Bosphorus is not a river. It is sea. Rivers usually came from Mountain and empty to the sea. But Bosphorus is came from one sea to the other one.
05:47 made with beetroot juice 06:50 he trying to tell you we can send to Canada with vacuum carco if you want 09:15 Turkish appetizers for fish, for fish and alcohol. 10:28 it's Turkish but have in Greek as well. '' Evil eye '' for save you bad eyes and take bad energy. Greek people also Ottomans people in the past. They are influenced by our culture. they even claim that most things are theirs, but they slander Turkey everywhere. There is no problem between peoples, there are between states. 22:52 Sea cowpea is a little salty, comes naturally in salt on the beach, is an appetizer eaten with fish, and there is another similar type, grown in the same place, but sweet. we call deniz börülcesi and deniz fasulyesi. 19:50 Midye dolma best food in the world for me but should be find who make delicious because many seller but taste not always same, should be good chief :) him mussel pcs so expensive. also mussels best friend with beer 24:35 Turkish lokma only in İzmir city you can find free other cities you should pay. In the original, morsels are made for reasons such as funerals, charity wishes, celebrations, circumcision weddings and oil lamps, and they are offered to people free of charge.
Although Istanbul isn't famous for the lokma, the sugary dessert is also given free around mosques and school areas. (Bahar-yaz aylarında Söğütlüçeşme otobüs durağının biraz gerisinde dağıtıyorlar, çok denk geldim yol üstü.)
Istanbul still has that crazy vibe of "organized chaos" that I overwhelmed by in 1999, when I visited the city. I was 19, I went there from Bucharest by train (a 22 hours sleeper train 1st class) as a reward from my family for taking the University exam :). Few things I remember as striking: the huge number of friendly cats (that's also true for summer resort cities like Antalya or Bodrum), the insane traffic, the guy at the coffee shop who wouldn't serve me another cup because "it is too strong for me", the friendly people, just by the edge of being too much, but not crossing that limit. And, of course the cold Efes on a street terrace. PS: after drinking the Turkish coffee there's an old custom in Romania to put the cup upside down and let the "zatz" (coffee mud) go on the cup walls. They make funny patterns in which an old lady can tell your fortune :))
I live in Manchester/England. I shared a house with two Romanians, one from a town famous for making mustard Tikice? His mother was a professional fortune teller, including reading the coffee suds. Women in my country do that coffee thing too, as a joke...Only some take it seriously, especially if it pertains to marriage 😂 I think I never ate dried, preserved meats as much while with them in my life. My sister visited Romania during Chawchisku times...She said it was one of the most beautiful, underrated country in the World. May it prosper and be blessed.
I miss my beautiful city soo much! Loved your video and your vibes. The music in the background brings more emotions to the video. So glad to hear you it is a city you would consider living in. Greetings from New York City 👋🏼
Everytime when I'm in Istanbul I feel emotional. Istanbul love is real, guys! I have been to this city for more than 15 times and I will always come back to it. I have my rituals when I'm there, like eating the best seafood, best kebabs, best lahmajun, best baklava etc. To walk on the Bosphorus for hours(!!!), to take the ferry multiple times a day and so on. It makes me happy being there! It is a city of endless experiences. Try to explore more local locations next time, you will fall in love more and more.
The place at the beginning with cannons is actually the resting place of the greatest Ottoman admiral: Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha. The place is a naval museum today. If you took your time, you could have seen some big cannons that were used during conquest of Istanbul in 1453. All the best.
Haha.. 😂6:42 The man tries to say that he can vacuum pack the fruit so it will be fresh after the flight to Canada. "Vaküm" ..tries to say in english..😂
Geez, I'm a sleepy head. Missed the premiere . Of course watched now!! Keep enjoying and I will keep enjoying with you!! ❤ Keep safe, healthy and happy!
I just got back from Istanbul recently. It's so funny seeing the restaurants/meals I went during my trip getting featured in this video. Super reminiscing some happy memories I had there
@JetLag Warriors I didn't take note most of the names of the restaurants that I went. I sort of randomly went in those that I found interesting. But my favourite restaurant was Meşhur Sariyer Börekçisi cafe. I would go there everyday for breakfast. I was so addicted to their Borek. I also remembered going to non Turkish restaurants. Near the Çapa-Şhremını tram station, there's an Indonesian restaurant called Warung Nusantara. The food was delicious. Tastes the same as what you can get in Indonesia. Definitely will remind Ivana of home. There's also an Uyghur Restaurant (Western Chinese food) in the area (Çapa-Şhremını) as well, if you're interested in trying something different. The restaurant is called Köklem Uygur Restaurant.
@JetLag Warriors You're most welcome. Also, may I add, you gotta try checking out the Prince's Islands. One of my favourite places to visit in Istanbul. I'm sure you guys will enjoy it there too.
Really enjoyed your film.....it was great to see local foods, such a change from fake shopping in Turkey guides films. Your wife adds a lovely feminine perspective. ❤️ 😍
final comment is very important, after a 5 year traveling experience they found Istanbul a city in which they would live in. That's why I am missing Istanbul too much. greetings from Munih..
Sevgili İvana ve Steve ; pozitif gezileriniz bizi mutlu ediyor,teşekkür ederiz❤️ Çoğu yabancı gezginler Türkiye’yi ve Türkleri kötü göstermek için kötü çekimler yapıyorlar, takipçi toplamak için...Türkler genelde kültürlü, ağırbaşlı,iyi kalpli ,yardım sever, misafir sever kişilerdir. Çok fazla başka milletlerin ülkemize göç etmesi bazı olumlu özelliklerimizi yitirmemize neden oluyor,üzgünüm...Sizlerin olumlu görüşleri bizi motive ediyor👍Ayrıca İvana, ben de midye dolmasını ve lokmayı çok severim, İzmir’de meşhurdur... Sevgiyle gezin❤️
Subscribed a while back for your Pakistan vids but am so glad to see you’re in Turkiye now & enjoying the food 💚 The only & I do mean only issue I see is that you could perhaps learn just a few words to communicate with ppl better or use google translate to say just a few words, that goes a long way with ppl. Anyway great channel you’re both so great
You were looking at samphire. Salty. We went to Kadikoy last year but we don’t drink alcohol. We found a nice lokanta where all the locals were eating. Enjoying your vlogs🎉
Food colourıng 😂😂😂😂Sorry, I am laughing because found it very funny 😂 So what colour is the natural olives or olives should be? Black? Some olive lessons for you 😂We have Hazelnut farms on The Black Sea (I'm Laz ) Possibly you think Hazelnuts are brown. Hazelnuts are green. So are the pistachioes. And olives 😊Those colours develop in different stages of olives because olives aren't like green apples that one picks and eats or edible straight away. Olives need to be brined and cured first. Or sun dried (The Black Sea is not suitable place for growing and the sun drying but the Aegean people would know the exact process) Green Purple Brown Black
as a turkish girl i really liked ur videos thanks a lot. also i wanna say im addicted to turkish coffee and it has to be bitterrrr!! ahhaha and im drinking almost 4-5 cups in a day and the bottom part we call that telve whichhh is the bestt thing everrr!! you should try to chew it ahhhaha lol
Haha you did the right thing popping out the beer at the end :) Its a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset with a beer, Ive been there loong time ago. You have seen the best parts of Istanbul, Im glad you guys enjoyed it, but its kind of expensive there ... The more affordable parts, suburbs, are not that good if I need to be honest. The achilles heel of Istanbul is the traffic. If you need to deal with traffic to a get to job etc Istanbul its pretty terrible. If you work remote, or have a job that you can walk to, then its great to live.
Turks used to believe in Tengrism, we had Shamans, and they used evil eye beads in rituals to remove negative energy! Even tying beads and ribbons to trees, making wishes is a tradition of those days. It has nothing to do with Islam.😊
U should visit Kale in alanya the view is nice and there are good resteraunts (better when the sun is setting) also there are nice resteraunts close to docks near kale
Usually most sellers would give you a sample to taste and if you decide to buy the sample is not a part of the price. And you can always say if you dont like it or decide not to buy/pay anything.
The purple olives are colored with beet roots, as he says. And, yes, in fact he want to know if you want to take the olives to Canada, so he can make a vacuum packaging.
The olive man was trying to tell you that he used to play football and people call him "Storm" lol It is not connected with anything, but Turks like to tell things about themselves.^^
8:13 bu dakikadaki amca sizin zeytini kanadaya götüreceğinizi düşünüp daha sağlam poşete koyayım mı diye soruyor bu poşete de (vakkum) adı veriliyor. Amca size "vakkum" demek istemiş eliylede poşetin şeklini göstermeye çalışmış. Ve mor zeytin gıda boyası ile renklendirilmiyor. Pancar ile renklendiriliyor diye biliyorum
Yeah we dont mess around with our coffee lol :) Turkish coffee looks like an espresso, but its a different process. The ground the coffee very fine, and mix directly with water. It has to sit a while for the ground coffee to settle, then you can drink it. As you guessed, you are not meant to drink the bottom :)
The olive guy was trying to explain that he can vacuum the package of olives if you buy so you can safely fly to canada with your delicious olives. The colours is most likely red cabbage
Very helpful video, ya now i am a bit aware of a few things, so thanks🙂 how about taxies is it safe? Do you tio them? How about ladies clothes or pants?
We have a Turkish saying "Let's eat sweet and talk sweet" thats why Turkish people are very friendly i think because of eating sweet 😁 idk im just joking
0:02 Not 'only'! Many people make the same mistake and don't look at the map and don't see the other strait of marmara sea: dardanel (çanakkale). By the way, is europe a continant according to tecnic of geography (not surrounded by water on four sides)
Do you not use apps for translation? The video is great but surely using apps would have helped with knowing the food names or what they are or the translation of delicious for example.
Im a Turkish living abroad for 20 years now. I hate to break it to you, but Turkish street food was more delicious back like 10 years ago. As time progressed and economy tanked, I notice a degradation in my home country year by year. Smaller portions, lesser quality ingredients, cut corners in processing etc. I think this all started in 2012 or so. I dont know if its just me getting old and grumpy though lol. Istanbul is a magical city. It has history dating back 1000s of years. You can feel the enigma looking at cold bosphorus waters and hear the thoughts of ancient byzantines etc who looked at the same waters 1000 years ago.

He was trying to say that you could take the food to canada by plane.. he offered to take the air of the package 🥲😂
Hello!👋 You can drink pickle juice has a natural electrolyte drink. I get my pickles without added sugar and always save the juice, keep it in the fridge. Contains sodium, magnesium, potasium, probiotics. Take a shot of pickle juice to rehydrate after workout, on hot days, if you feel light headed or have muscle cramps, also good as a hangover cure, helps you replenish your electrolytes. 😊
I love you guys! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! Be blessed, much love 💕 Ps: 6:58 he wanted to know if you came by plane ✈️ (what a question tho.. ofc you came by plane, he’s an old man tho, he doesn’t know)
Hi again , Steve and Ivana . So long time no chat , isn´t it ? 🙃 You guys know me , curious to the extreme . So i went on a research because of the coloured olives and what i learned is that the color of an olive is an indication of its ripeness. Green olives ripen and become black olives. Or rather, they transform from green to light brown, to a vibrant red and purple, to the deepest, darkest black. In general, the darker the olive, the riper it was when it was plucked from the tree. kisses , till tomorrow.
@@JetLagWarriors the olives are pickeled in red beet juice thats why it gets a red color. The old guy tried to tell you that.he said pancar suyuna “in red beet juice”
