Southern California is like that, you can surf in the ocean and then head to a nearby mountain for skiing all in the same day. I have to use arnica gel on my neck for arthritis pain and tight muscles, it really helps. Demre is definitely a wonderful place to explore and yes those marble floors in the church were awesome. Thank you for taking us here, great sightseeing!
@@Mr-vy2lb He is making fun of you. Turkey is a clean country. You can visit Turkey without any problem. 51,7 million people from 40 countries visited Turkey in 2019. Turkey has very nice tourist areas and very high quality luxury hotels.
You can get EVERYTHING in Turkey, it’s the most amazing country. If the place you are in don’t have it they will direct or take to where you CAN get it. Another fantastic Video, thanks for sharing. Patricia 🏴
My wife and I love sitting down to dinner and watching your vlog it’s something we both genuinely look forward too. Turkey is the best country we’ve been to, we stay in Oludeniz but we travel all over mostly by dolmus or organised trips and have visited most of the places you have been in this region and it’s so nice seeing them again in your videos 🙂👍
Hello Our Dears Marianne and Chris ! Amazing. Thank you for posting this video from DEMRE. Your videos have revived the sweetness of our frequent visits to DEMRE. We have missed Turkey for the past year. But watching your beautiful videos brings back the sweet memories of our travels.God bless you. With our best regards Nurie and Hassan Bijan Hamburg
The Greek orthodox see the church in Demre is as an important part of their faith. A few years ago me and my wife were invited to celebrate their Christmas service, which they hold on December 6th each year in the ruins of St Nicholas Church - at 8am! It was a fascinating experience and one I will never forget. What I loved about it was the mixture of different faiths at the service, Christian, Muslim, Orthodox, Jewish all respecting each other and respecting each others faith.
Love the cat & dog food dispenser, what a great idea, they should have these everywhere! Also saw n Kusadasi the other day that the council there collected cooking oil from the residents. Wouldn't it be great if these ideas were shared around the world.
Absolutely Incredible 👌. I Really Love the floor in the Church of St.Nicholas. Stunning!! Just imagining all the people who inlaid every piece🙏. Thank you for Another wonderful video ☘😍.
Thank u so muchhhh u show Turkey all the time good.i live in germany people dont know how Turkey because hier tv show all the time there bad or all the time people make a problem but i say really we are good person and hot for tourist
The stone faces are the roman equivalent of gurning! I really loved that fresh fresh orange and free oranges result! .......And yes Chris were still here!........
Ha Ha !! Yes the oranges he gave me were gone in a day !! literally overdosed on Vit C and will be looking for some more .. the oranges here are the sweetest in Turkey !! M :)
I know !! Yes we did a collab with them and also Sara and Luca ... it is incredible how this has turned out and how time has flown - we are feeling super lucky and blessed right now 🌺🙌🤗
That floor was amazing! Just to think that each piece must have been shaped by hand, but are so incredibly uniform. The church is a beautiful place today, it must have been breathtaking 1500 years ago! 🤯🤯🤯
Greece is like that, you can swim in the mediterranean (Trapeza beach)and then head to a nearby mountain (Kalavryta Skiing Resort,1'30 Hours drive)for skiing and the temperature difference is like 27Celsius on the beach and -8 Celsius at the ski resort Kalavryta.
Hi guys, been following you for a year now, good job... our dream is to buy a camper van and travel the world once the kids our out of the house. Another place where you can go skiing in the morning and swim in the sea in the afternoon is Andalucía. I live east coast Málaga and I go to Sierra Nevada early in the morning (1,5h drive) and eat fish on the beach in the afternoon
Watching your nice vlogs last few months, I am seriously considering writing to Turkish Ministry of Tourism to sponsor you. You are doing an amazing job to highlight the beauties of my country. Thank you for that 🙏🏻 And as a Turk living in Belgium, I am seriously considering to move back to southeast Turkey after making enough money here to buy a nice property over there.
Hello Chris and Maryann, Thank you for a beautiful video. The water looks spectacular and the tombs are always fascinating. Enjoy yourselves and be well 😍👍
Chris as your in the land of invention, could you get the passenger seat base lowered? Be better for your posture/comfort. Keep the vlogs coming, they are great.
Hi both, I lived in the Greek half of Cyprus in the 80,s , we could go to the beach and swim in the morning and go up the Troodos mountains in the afternoon and go skiing , great vid 👍
I do not know where you are now but if you guys are still in the region you should not come back without seeing the Simena village(Kale Köy) near Kaş.An hour boat ride from Kaş.Such an amazing place with both historical and natural value. Lol
First chance to sit and watch your latest video. I know I always say I love you doing food vlogs but your sightseeing and history vlogs are so interesting and you guys narrate them superbly 😀🥂
Thank you so much 😊. That is very kind of you to say ... on the food front ... we have some exciting stuff coming soon - woo hoo !! lets just say Saturday live in the kitchen meets Trudy ... woo hoo (again !!) M
One thing I like about your videos is that it reminds me of so many places I have visited.I visited Papa Noel,s church many years ago but forgot the name of the town,Demre.Yes I heard the first story of St Nicholas and the gifts.Again thank you for the memories.
another great video guys.......... you are in the orange growing region of Turkey. demre , finike and all towns towards Antalya. Thats why you have statues of oranges as you enter these towns/city. when you enter a town or city in Turkey, you can tell what that area is known / common for by what statues they have as you enter them. for example... if you go to Korkuteli 45 minutes northwest of antalya city , you will see statues of mushrooms. as thats what it mainly harvested there . if you drive from antalya to alanya, you will see lots of bananas for sell on the roadside as that is the main region where it is grown
Thanks Orhan ... I am so excited as we will be driving along the coast and trying out all the fruit as we go !! If we can see the mushrooms we will ... there will be some news on the Tribe facebook about the live chat soon and I have just posted your stickers too !! Thank you for your support xx
I watch lots of Motorhome related youtube videos of all of you adventurers out there. In my humble opinion, from here in Gods own county of Yorkshire, you two amongst all of the exceptional people I watch, have made the right decision to stay in Turkey. Stay safe and continue showing your journey. You have certainly sold Turkey to me but sadly I don’t think we will visit before at least 2023 due to covid, if ever..... Thanks for the ride. I will stay watching and loving your episodes. Stay safe both of you.
Thanks Ian - it is great to know that you found us !! Welcome and thanks for the lovely message !! Kind regards and there is lots more to come !! Marianne 🌺👍
The sarcophagus in 11:05 was the one of St.nicholas. He was buried there until 1087. Later he was brought to Bari by Italian robbers and buried in the church of Basilica San Nicola.
Hi Steve we have a lifesaver Jerry can ... we are currently redesigning and rebuilding our website and it will have lists of all the gear / kit that we use and affiliate links to all the products that we recommend - it is a way for us to earn income and also easier for us to direct folk to the list of kit we have in either Trudy, our rucksacks or filming gear too - I hope this helps xx Marianne
