    Bir Türk olarak yazıyorum. Yemek, kahvaltı, misafir kültürü çok önemlidir bizim için. Sahip olduğumuz herşeyin en iyisini misafirler için ayırırız . Onlar için oda , yatak en iyi yemeğimiz misafirler içindir. Çünkü paylaşmak güzeldir ❤

    Great video! Informative, yet concise, and not all about you. I star the places that I'm interested in on Google maps, and you make it easy by clearly identifying each place. Good luck with your channel. You deserve more viewers!

    Well done and really helpful! I know the neighborhood to book my airing now! What are your favorite non-schengen cities and countries? I used to love to escape to Croatia until they joined. I've spent a couple months in Albania (Durres and Tirana) and especially liked Tirana. This fall I'm going to Montenegro (Podgorica) for a bit. Have a great day there!

    everyone commenting about the 90 day minimum. this is only true if the host doesn't want to register the property and pay the tax. you can stay for 1 day or 1 month or anytime in-between 1 day and 90 days. anyone saying otherwise is trying to get you to pay more or get out of paying taxes.
  • That Airbnb is for a minimum 3 months at around 3000 EUROS per month= approximately 10,000 Euros for the 3 months.🙄
  • The taxi mafia in Turkey has its own micro-economy. 😅 The worst. I'd rather walk or call an expensive VIP shuttle than get into a car with a hillbilly like that. Hopefully Uber is safe.

    Do not travel there; they decided to reduce their stray dog population by confining them to dog death camps, so-callled "shelters." Dogs are considered "dirty" by Islam, and Turkey is not any different. Think of the animals that are dying there, and check the news provided by "Species Unite" and other networks.
