I am 50 years old. This is where I lived and grew up. I have traveled all over the world. The characteristics of Kadıköy have taken on the common characteristics of all countries. A Frenchman, an Englishman, an Italian American or a person does not feel like a foreigner. You will come across them all while walking... And there are many of them in Kadıköy. In Kadıköy, it doesn't matter who you are from or where you are from. In Kadıköy, there is no discrimination based on religion, language, race, sect or color. People are people. is our brother..MİCK AMCA AND YENGE THANK YOU
I recommend you to go to the Adalar (Prince Islands), which is a district of Istanbul. I'm sure you'll like it with both its historical texture and atmosphere. I definitely recommend it.
Where I was born!! Everytime we visit Türkiye, I make sure to take a picture of my son with the bull. 😂 Barış Manço is a favorite of mine, he had great hits, died too soon. Madame Tussauds has a wax version of Barış Manço which is pretty good. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video! Our son lives in Kadikoy, and when we visited last year we stayed at the Sedonya…recognized the view immediately. Our son lives on the next street, so was super convenient to everything. We had a walk up to that ancient dig, which is next to the local hospital where Florence Nightingale nursed soldiers from the Crimean war. And just next to that was a British cemetery, which was so peaceful and beautifully kept, with a fabulous memorial to Florence Nightingale and all the fallen soldiers from all the wars. It was closed when we went, but the caretaker, Samii, let us in because we said we are English, so sweet. So many memorials and all Brit’s, it was a beautiful place. Anyway love Istanbul, love Kadikoy and visit often. Next time Victors Wine bar. 😉
Thank you so much for another wonderful video. The reason we love you because you two are so nice people and talking nicely and positively about turkey. Really appreciate it
Thank you Mick & Trudy, really interesting as always. Love the history you give us as well all the touristy info.. Have been many times to Türkiye, never to Istanbul but its top of the bucket list.
I spent my middle school and high school years near the F.Bahçe stadium(Kadıköy Lisesi) . While I was studying at Istanbul University, I used to take the Kadıköy Eminönü ferry every day. These were difficult but happy years...♥
In our opinion, Kadikoy and Üskudar (the most mystical area) are the most interesting places to visit on the Asian side of Istanbul. Both are well worth a visit. Çiya restaurant is also recommended for genuine SE Türkiye food and prices are reasonable as well. We also recommend you visit Beyaz Firin, a cafe and pastry shop, which is located opposite the Ayia Efimia Ortodox Greek Church you visited. By the way, a great video of Kadikoy 👍🇹🇷
MICK & TRUDIE. I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS. THEY ARE VERY INFORMATIVE AND WONDERFUL TO WATCH. I WAS BORN IN ISTANBUL. & WE IMMIGRATED TO THE USA WHEN I WAS 3. BUT WE ALWAYS WENT BACK EVERY SUMMER TO SEE FAMILY!AND MY FAMILY RESIDES IN GOZTEPE.
Wish both of you health and happiness. I regularly see your videos. My partner and I plan to retire in Turkiye one day... till then keep those videos coming!!!
Thanks again guys - definitely Kadikoy is on my list for my next visit to Turkiye ( Istanbul) and I will definitely stay on the Asian side this time. 🤗😊🇦🇺
I love watching your videos, you explain them very well. As a Turk, you explain it really well as someone who lives in Istanbul at the same time. Always be happy, thank you ...
Loved Kadikoy....Hip and younger...More open..Balat and Cihangir by taksim has a great vibe as well....For some reason I love the area in fatih by the Aqueduct.. Amazing row of meat shops and Wednesday Market is cool...Really cool..Close to the bazaars and walk to catch the ferry to Kadikoy...West to East..lol..Great video...Voice over here 😂..So we could hear yo7 loud and clear.❤
Akşam akşam büyük sürpriz oldu videonuz Kadıköy çok güzel bir yer gezilecek çok yeri var Kuzguncuk boğazın en güzel yeri Kandilli Çengelköyde muhteşem semtlerdir teşekkürler Mick ve Trudie devamını bekliyoruz. ❤ & ❤
Great video of Kadıköy. I lived in Alaşehir for five years and enjoyed visits to Kadıköy for shopping and walkabouts. Kadıköy has everything you want and need to live in İstanbul. Speaking of rock n roll music, did you listen to Mavi Işıklar, years ago? I met Nejat Toksoy, the bands lead singer in 1964 when he was a American Field Service Foreigner Exchange Student at my high school in Manhatten Beach, California. Nejat passed on July 9, 2019. I miss him very much.
Wonderful video, my home base though I've lived in the US for most of my life no, my brother and his family live there and I stay w them whenever I can make it there. You showed Kadikoy very well :)
Great video on Kadıköy; we love the area! We 'discovered' it in 2019 when we stayed at an Airbnb there for about two weeks, then went back and stayed at the Hotel Khalkedon for another two weeks back at Christmastime 2021. That hotel is just a couple of minutes from the church you showed us and about half the cost of where you stayed. Basic, but a really nice rooftop breakfast! I must have missed the memo, because I'd never heard anyone call Kadıköy 'fashionable'! Yes, the area like Moda is very nice, but we always thought of the area as where "regular people" lived, away from the tourists on the European side. We even went as far down as Kartal, when we took the ferry back from Adalar and decided to get off there, where we incidentally found a wonderful Turkish restaurant, Alır, before taking a double decker city bus along the shoreline back to Kadıköy. I don't think we'll ever stay anywhere else except on the Asian side! 🙂
an insider tip for ppl who wanna visit istanbul; stay away from the yellow taxis. best case scenario is you'll pay twice the actual fee. stick with uber or public transport.
Hi to both of u, I love your videos, can honestly say I've watched them all multiple times, I'm finding it hard to find one I haven't seen, one request please can u do fethiye again this time with trudie infront of the camera also, I love ferrite need a update, u make it look like paradise 💖

@@mickandtrudie well i had bad experience with the conservatives they revoked my driving licence after stroke and even though they did that because i am disabled they still stopped my disability allowance saying you are fit to work hoping labour will be a bit better, i was here in 1997 when blair won i did well studied university and done a phd got support then britain was a different place in 90s i remember getting double pay etc weekends night shift allowance
@@mickandtrudie they have a new energy project to start a new british energy company by taxing energy companies for the money and cut bills etc they talk about bills etc focus is ordinary people tories focused on rich how they take less tax and how rich make more money, hopefully labour will focus on ordinary people my son is member of labour here in nottingham he is british citizen his mother is english
Videonuza şimdi denk geldim.Çok tatlı bir çiftsiniz. Ülkemize hoşgeldiniz. Barış Manço ile ilgili kısmı gözlerim dolarak izledim. Ankara'mızı Anıtkabir'imizi ziyaret ettiniz mi ? Sevgiler.
