Mara of Bucharest decided one morning to visit Istanbul for a day; a few hours later, I picked her up at the airport. Lucky for her, she chose exactly the right man for a 24-hour whirlwind tour of the largest city in Turkey AND in Europe!

I didn't take her on the standard tourist route. She didn't get to see Hagia Sophia, or Blue Mosque. No Topkapı Palace or Dolmabahçe Palace. No Rumeli Fortress. No Underground Basilica.

But she did get to see the poorest neighborhood (Zeyrek). And, I guess, one of the richest. And gained as much weight as possible in a day full of Turkish food. Enjoy!

    Hey man! I remember watching you during the pandemic/lockdowns when you were travelling through Turkey (the backgammon king lol). What an amazing time to be there. Cheers from Australia.

    I hate the YouTube algorithm!! It’s so unfair that such amazing content and videos get so few views and the channel has so few subscribers. You deserve so much more. I hope your Istanbul video will increase your subscriber count and views. I hope you make more vlogs about Türkiye

    I have watched many foreigners but you are very different, you look like someone who travels on purpose, you visit many different points quickly and efficiently.😀

    Hello dear friend im from Pakistan 🎉❤🎉❤
  • A good one. Mara had a interesting tour guide, as you are, I suppose. I like the way you present reality. It is relaxing. For a foreigner you do have a lot of local knowledge. See you in Serbia I hope!
