From Ankara, the capital of Turkey, I flew to Canakkale on the Dardanelles Strait, one of the most historic places in the world where civilization first appeared more than 5,000 years ago at the ancient city of Troy.

Just wanted to add a little more about the history of the region, since the Dardanelles Strait isn't an especially well known part of the world to non-historians. To put things in perspective, the earliest person referenced in the Old Testament of the Bible is the Egyptian Pharoah Shishak, who conquered Jerusalem in around 900 BC. At this time, the ancient city of Troy had long since recovered from the Trojan War, which had occurred several hundred years earlier in around 1200 BC. But the Trojan War was just a blip in the history of the ancient city of Troy, which had existed for almost 2,000 years before the Greeks showed up with their Trojan horse (all this will be discussed in the next video). Much later, in 480 BC, the Dardanelles, right around where I start the video, is where Persian King Xerxes attempted to cross in order to invade ancient Greece. His army built two pontoon bridges over the strait, but they were destroyed in a storm. In the next century, and in direct response to the Persian threat, Alexander the Great crossed the Dardanelles into Persia, beginning his conquest of much of the ancient world. More than two millennia later, in 1915 during World War I, the Dardanelles would be the site of a major battle to take control of the strategic position at Gallipoli.

You missed the bus station with a mini bus to Truva, Troya, by a hundred meters from the big market place. But you obviously found out of that when you returned. Canakkale has lots of ANZAC and British tourists and visitors in the late March. They come to the memorial of the Gallipoli campaign during WW1. Canakkale is quite expensive because of this influx. The hotel prices are high compared with neighbouring towns, and even Izmir. Canakkale is very cozy, though. And has everything with its 140 000 population.

The amount of ATM usage declined with CoVid and never recovered plus the high inflation in Turkey. It dropped to 62% in July 2024, down from 72% in June but it's still very high. All european tourists who were used to cheap turkey vacations are whining now as soon as they are leaving their all inclusive hotels.. There are countless videos abt this on TikTok. The superintelligent commentators then say: Holidays are expensive. Or: Stay home if you cant afford travelling and other BS. They should better talk to the locals..

@RovexHD 25 дней назад

Yes, it does feel wrong moaning about how ‘cheap’ a place is or should be.

@vaultkeeper2 25 дней назад

Alternatively, you can, if you want, travel to countries much cheaper than Turkey as a much nicer alternative to staying home if Turkey is too expensive. In Egypt for example, groceries cost only a fraction compared to Turkey, entrance fees to historical sites about 1/4 the price and restaurants and hotels also 1/3 the price. Other much cheaper countries include Albania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, India, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. Bulgaria is now trying to attract more European tourists by highlighting the fact that you can now get a much better and cheaper deal with traveling to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria than Marmaris, Turkey, with 2 euros for a pint of beer and 5 euros for a main course dinner at a restaurant which you can no longer get at most places in Turkey.

I prefer the ones where it never goes inside the machine. So at any point you can pull out your card.

FYI, here is the lede from a recent CNN article -- Kayaköy, Turkey (by CNN) - There’s a large and very dignified school in Kayaköy. There are narrow streets, lined with houses, that wend and rise up both sides of a steep valley. There’s an ancient fountain in the middle of the town. And there are churches, one with million-dollar hilltop views over the blue Aegean. But, for most of the past 100 years, there have been no people. Kayaköy, in southwestern Turkey’s Muğla Province, is a true ghost town. Abandoned by its occupants and haunted by the past. It’s a monument, frozen in time - a physical reminder of darker times in Turkey.

The music in the video is embarrassing and has nothing to do with Turkey or its culture.

Interesting. Would you brew a green or black tea adding slivers of ginger + a couple cloves & a bit of cinnamon?

Use a mix of garlic and mayonnaise, and spread on the chest and throat overnight

@@uncleenore Who's submarine was it? Lol. I admit, that could have made an interesting video, but that's not something you just get an answer to on the spot. Chasing that one would have been a big distraction from what I was in the middle of doing, trying to get to Troy. You would have to start walking around asking random people, almost all of whom would have no idea. And I assume that anyone sailing a submarine probably doesn't really want to advertise it. It's not a bad idea to investigate that one, but that was nowhere near being on my radar for a bunch of reasons, including that I barely even noticed the submarine. In the video I'm pointing at the end of the peninsula and talking about the history, so that's what I was focused on. Why, are you a submarine enthusiast?

Gabriel at 7:15 the "Turkish" islands of Gökçeada and Bozcaada in reality had been Greek for entire millennia. They are called Imbros and Tenedos, respectively (their Turkish names were invented recently). These two islands were granted to Turkey in 1923, with the Lausanne treaty, under the condition that the Turks will not alter the predominantly Greek populations of Imbros and Tenedos (more than 10.000 Greeks versus a few hundred Turks back then). The Turks did alter them though, frorcing the Greeks out, confiscating their fortunes and replacing them with thousands of settlers from mainland Turkey. Quoting Wikipedia: "Historically, the island (Imbros - but Tenedos too) was primarily inhabited by ethnic Greeks since the Iron Age until approximately the 1960s, when many were forced to emigrate abroad due to a campaign of discrimination and ethnic cleansing sponsored by the (Turkish) governments..." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbros P.S. It might surprise you, but I watched with much interest your Ankara video! I always had the impression that Turkey's capital, Ankara, bears some heavy, "gritty" vibes and that's exactly what I picked up from that video of yours...

@GabrielTravelerVideos 25 дней назад

I knew they were previously Greek as was the case everywhere around here, didn't realize they were given to Turkey with a Greek population. Pretty naive for anyone to think that Turkey would have left the Greeks there alone after the history of the Ottoman empire.
