türkiye de turistler dışında kimse fes takmıyo haahhahaha hayatımda duyduğum en iyi tespit

As a Russian who lived in Turkey for 7 years I totally agree with you. Most people who haven’t seen Turkey have no idea about it.

I am Greek and I love Turkey and its people. Despite our political differences and our hostile history, I always have been treated kindly, and with much enthusiasm for my origins. I have studied the language for a few years and this has earned me a lot of gifts and treats from the locals. I always feel at home there because we share so much of our culture and here in Athens where I live, I frequent a lot of Turkish shops and restaurants :)

Iki defa Turkiye'ye gittim. Cok enteresant ve heyecanli halktir. They are cheerful and utterly helpful with all the information you ask for. I spoke Serbian, Russian, English and Turkish there, it was all fine. Cok selamlar Turklere. ♥️

çocuk nasıl sakin sakin açıklıyor.... sinir krizi lfhlfjh

I had a turkish boyfriend for 6 years, when I visited his parents in a tiny village in the mountains, everyone was really nice to me. I didn't cover my head and most of the time I wore jeans and a tee just like other young people in the village. And turkish people there turned out to be much more tolerant than I expected, they asked me a lot about our religion and never criticised or said that it was wrong even though many aspects are different. Even though we broke up, I still have a lot of pleasant memories of this place and people there.

I totally agree. This guy has never been to Turkey. I have visited Turkey for several times, I really love the place and the people. Unless you are a very rude, ignorant tourist, you'll have a great time when visiting Turkey, and you will understand that Turks are one of the most hospitable peoples in the world. Also about food: if you are into good, healthy, tasty food, be sure that nothing will be left in the plate! Well, maybe a little, because the variety of food, deserts and sweets is enormous! Yunanistan'dan selamlar.

I lived in Turkiye for 3 months in 1985. All the Americans and British I met were shocked how much Turkish I learned. But all throughout the country, many Turkish people wanted to practice their English on me. I speak English and German so I was able to communicate everywhere. Best food in the world! My 3 week trip turned into 3 months. I went to Ephesus 7 times.

Türkiye'yi böyle bilmeleri beni çok üzüyor.

I've been to Turkey 3 times and I was in Antalya, Konakli and Alanya. It's so annoying that people spread lies about a country, including Turkey.

Im Australian who has never been to Turkey. I do know however that even though in WW1 we were enemies. Regardless of that the Turks still allow us to visit and commemorate our fallen from Gallipoli on their shores at the place of battle. That alone tells me that as a nation they are decent warm and understanding people. I hope to one day visit Turkey.

Ülkemizi böyle doğru şekilde tanıttığın için teşekkür ve tebrik ederim👏👏👍

I am from Greece and I ve been to Turkey twice! Everyone was helpful and when they realised i was greek they were even more helpful! ❤️ love ur country and people! Politicians do everything 😑wrong

Nasıl sinir krizi geçirilir?

I visited Turkey with my beautiful Turkish wife last year and I can totally assure you the people are so kind and open-minded. It was my first time visiting the country thanks to my wife and now I already have booked our next flights to Turkey 🇹🇷 sizi çok seviyorum Türkiye

I’m Spanish, and I’m terribly in love with anything Mediterranean, (us Mediterranean have to protect our beautiful sea, kinda wish for a Mediterranean alliance) I started getting interest in Turkey a few years ago because I just loved how the locals treated wild animals such as cats, I love that they seem to love cats and embrace their presence, I also love how you are able to live peacefully with other religions, and I also appreciate how similar our values are, so I’m learning Turkish because I feel Turkey would be a place I’d like to visit!

Foreigners visiting Turkey: I should wear a hijab while visiting Turkey Turkish Government until 2010: Not allowing wearing hijabs

- I went to Turkye two years ago during Ramadam and the restaurants and squares were full of people eating, so i can attest it´s no problem ;) - I didn´t know a word in turkish but we understood each other perfectly in English and even in Spanish :) - I always asked men for information and they were all very kind ¡¡Stop the stereotypes!! haha :) Saludos Can

2:36. So true what the Turkish admin says. I am Muslim from Malaysia. My prayers still valid even if someone walks in front of me, I'll continue praying. But it is good that someone does not walk in front of a Muslim person who is praying, a sign of respect. In Malaysia, we place an object, usually a pillow, in front of us if we want to pray, and allow people to walk past the pillow while we pray behind the pillow line.

The only thing i'd ever tell people to not do in Turkey is not to disrespect their culture. But i honestly say this about every country. You go to their country, you respect their culture. Not saying you have to attend to everything in that culture, just simply respect it, and their way of living.

Lol they clearly did no research. I’ve never been to Turkey, and I still know they’re lying.😂😅

I am a Scottish person of Italian heritage. I’ve lived in turkey for 7 years now and am very happy about the country’s safety and how welcoming they are to foreigners. My first born is born in Istanbul and is a Turkish citizen. Love turkey. HAYDI TURKJIYYE

I have a Turkish co worker and I have to say she is amazingly talented , hard working and so well organised. My neighbour was from Turkey and she was also very kind hearted. My perception towards Turkish people is very very positive :)

I visited Turkey for the first time last year and having listened to stereotypical views prior to going..these people could not have been more wrong. It is a beautiful country with very welcoming and friendly people. The best holiday i have had... ve güneş'i seviyorum!!!

I lived in Turkey and I’ve been to Turkey 4-5 times because I am in love with this beautiful country! I am Greek. I have never met more hospitable and kind people like I did in Turkey! The people are very modern, respectful and so very kind! I travelled to many parts of the world for 14 years straight and Turkey is one country that is engraved in my soul! It is one of my favourite places in the world! Thank you for putting this video up. ♥️

Turkey is a modern country , have beautiful town...I love ! Greetings from Romania

"Oh my gosh, it's getting worse." 😂😂😂 A great video to clear up some misinformation. ❤

Way to erase the stereotypes!! 👏🏼🔥When I told people in America 🇺🇸 I was moving to Turkey🇹🇷, I heard so many wild stories about what might happen to me as a foreign woman. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Nothing could be further from the truth! I’ve had the best experience and honestly feel safer than I do in most major US cities.

I’m German with lots of Turkish friends and often visited turkey. When I was about 16 our school had Turkish exchange students. I just love the people and country and I’m kinda offended by this “do not” list. Because it seems so odd…that’s not the Turkey I got to know.

Браво! Когато посещавам Турция ми е хубаво. Поздрави от България, комшу!

I have been to Turkey a few times as a single woman and know for a fact that everything you are saying is true. Turkey is a wonderful and friendly place to visit.

It's extraordinary how wrong they were on that. Good grief! I've been to Turkey twice and I'm going back again this fall. Turks are incredibly helpful, in my opinion. Of course it's going to help you if you speak some Turkish, but they're generally happy if you just try. If not, it's amazing what gestures and google can do. It's 2021 and every person (Turks included) I have met has a phone/smart device.

Kasıtlı olarak kötü niyetle yapılmış bir video. Bildiğin arabistan gibi göstermeye çalışmışlar. Mesela türk dizilerini falan sevmem ama başka ülkelerde ne kadar izlendiğini ve sevildiğini biliyorum. Bu açıdan gerçekten faydalı. Aklı olan inanmaz zaten bu videoya 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

Even if I am watching this video 2 years later, I totally agree with what you've said!! I am Greek and both Turkiye and Greece depend on their tourism! Let's make things clear, Turkish people are very hospitable and kind and will try to accommodate you. I had a great time visiting Istanbul in the past, it was both an exciting and a moving experience because my ancestors were from close places. A general rule for all of the countries is try to be respectful of the people, their culture and customs and all will be great!Peace and love to everyone!❤️

I am Turkish ethnic (both parents Turkish), but I was born and raised in the Netherlands (I do have dual passports tho, both Dutch and Turkish), but really, people living and working in and around the touristic places, know so many languagues! It may not be English, but a lot know Italian, Spanish, Arabic and even Dutch in Capadocia (which suprised me honestly!)

I think they accidentally used the wrong title for their video. It was suppose to be "here are 10 things about Turkey that I made up after I saw the flag"

Interesting times. Someone who’s never been to Turkey makes a video on what’s acceptable and unacceptable.

Actually, Turkey is much more modern than the Turkish immigrants that we do have here in Austria or Germany, France etc... You'd be surprised how many are also quite white, blond, modern, educated, and other stereotypes you may think

I found Turkish not Islamic religious at all but most likely European. There was alcohol in each hotel’s room. They wont turn off the music while Azan been recited. Most of the women wear revealing clothes. There were even condoms in hotels room’s fridge. Alcohol was sold openly. They were asking women to cover their heads but didn’t care if they wearing shorts inside the mosques. In this drama’s Yurek Cikmazi first episode they were reciting QURAN with the loud music. In their dramas they show European cultures alcohol drank by everyone. Women sleeping with men. All kinds of stuff. DO NOT MISTAKE TURKEY FOR A RELIGIOUS COUNTRY.

I lived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in the early 90s and everything they describe including wearing a hijab and not talking to someone of the opposite gender was true of the Conservative Saudi Culture at that time. I think they've made the classic mistake of associating Turkey with Persian and Arab cultures rather than truly understanding the historical and cultural differences.

Honestly, I was surprised at how the young Turkish women dressed, it wasn’t inappropriate but it definitely wasn’t modest either haha. Also, I lived in Turkey for a year without any Turkish lessons and Turks were soooo gracious to my horrible attempts to say the most basic things in Turkish, and most would give me simple answers in English. Such a kind culture.

Been to Turkey four times and it's like any other modern country. All the people are friendly. The ladies wear whatever they want. The only time you know you're in a foreign country, is when the call to prayer sounds. Great place to visit.

I am glad to see the original vid has now gone. Yours is a great video. I used to live in a part of London where there were a lot of Turkish and Greek people from both Cyprus and from Turkey and Greece. They were neighbours and friends. But we often talked about the different perception people had of those countries, especially following the war in Cyprus. Some parts of the British press have demonised Turkey as a country over the years - almost a hangover from the crisis in Cyprus. In recent times, thanks to Brexit, those parts of our Press have lied about how much of Turkey follows Islam, and has portrayed that as a threat to the UK, saying if Turkey joins the EU, they would all come to the UK. It was vile! A complete misrepresentation of a country and its people. How many people outside of Turkey realise that it has been a secular state since 1928? Even though it has moved more towards Islam under some recent governments, which is a shame. I think all states should be officially secular. I think people who have never been there too quickly mix up Istanbul with Tehran, Baghdad, and even Riyadh, and don't understand how different it is. It is a little more understandable with people in the US. It is geographically a long way away, and has traditionally been a country living around the edges always facing inwards - hence why there have been some US politicians who have TERRIBLE knowledge of the rest of the world. But I see this kind of thing in the UK as well. Considering how many Britons take holidays in Turkey and eat Turkish kebabs from their local van, it is unforgivable!

I've been going to Turkey twice a year for the last 15 years. Most of the comments on the video are so wrong. I've never had a problem with eating during Ramadan. My wife and daughters have never been pressured by what they wear. I've managed , over the years , to learn some basic Turkish. Try to learn some basic things like please , thank you , excuse me , hello , goodbye etc and your Turkish experience will improve massively. The Turks loved my attempts at their language and would often sit with me to correct and improve my efforts. I love Turkey and I'm planning to retire in or around Fethiye. Love and respect to Turkey and its people and I really hope your country pulls through the current economic problems.

As an Iranian living in Istanbul, I should admire people's hospitality. I love you guys.

I’m a U.S. citizen, i was stationed in Turkey and he is 100% correct. Its a really nice place to visit.I would go back if i could.

I finally holidayed in Turkeye in September 2022. It was absolutely memorable and I’d go back in a heartbeat! I’ve already been a big fan of Turkish food and I gained a few happy pounds when I got there! The quality of food there is sooooooo fresh and of such high standards that when I came back to my country I lost all appetite. I love Turkey coz it IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WITH VERY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (inside and outside)! Even tho Islam is the main religion there but their constitution is genuinely secular which makes me the happiest. To those who want to wear hijab and practice Islam, by all means. To those who don’t, great! No repercussions or whatever unlike their neighboring middle eastern extremists. I feel so sorry that Turkeye is often and still mistaken as a middle eastern country. You want conservatives and constant religious control? Go to Malaysia. They claim to be secular but the amount of incidents of religious extremism is everywhere. Once again, I LOVE TURKEYE! 🇹🇷

I respect your coolness in trying to correct all the errors in the mentioned video. I've never seen such an openly racist and offensive video on Turkey before. UKposts should really take it down.

I was in Istanbul with my friends, before Corona virus started and we loved it. People were so kind and friendly. City itself is just magical. Much love from neighbor Georgia

Don't worry, I am South African and these kinds of people have many misconceptions about us too. They think we have lions walking around in our backyards, that we've never seen or used computers and don't know how to use a washing machine! 😂😂😂

Turks are one of the most hospitable people in the world. Everywhere I went in Turkiye people were warm and friendly and always wanted to sit with me in their homes.

I was born in Burbank, California. My Turkish father came to finish his degree at Cal Tech and married my mother (American). They ended up getting divorced after a few months after I was born due to a relative causing problems. I was separated from my father for 23 years. When he would write to my mother, the relative intercepted the letters and destroyed them. Twenty-three years later, my father found me (long story) and I ended up staying in Turkey for four years. It was an incredible adventure and everything stated in this video is true.

Ülkemizi böyle tanıyor olmaları bana kalp krizi geçirtebilir

I’m an American who lived in Turkey for three years - I had an amazing time. Turkey is one of my favorite countries. ❤

As a Turhish ... I recommend learning some simple words and phrases in Turkish because in fact the majority don't speak English ... only in public places and airports you may someone ...

As a Brazilian I think Turkey is a great country and you have all my respect. I really wish to visit Turkey someday 😊😊😊

My favourite country in the world, I came back to Britain today, and it's so depressing the way our people are, such a sense of entitlement. Literally love 🇹🇷 and feel more at home there than i do here!

I am a Greek learning turkish, I love the turkish language and culture I also love the heritage sites and the beautiful. I can't wait to visit. 🇬🇷 ❤ 🇹🇷

I m an Indian...visited Turkey last week...I loved it ...will visit again and love u too

Turkey is a nice place to go on holiday, always love it there people are polite and fun to talk to. one off my favorite vacations..

I've been to Istanbul a few years ago. It's a beautiful city so full of live and the people are helpful. Actually can't wait until we can travel again to go back. I've fell in love with this country and the people .

Mid 2007 i was touring Europe with friends, we came across an opportunity to visit Istanbul Turkey. We were taken to Taksim where our hotel was. After resting, we made our way down to Taksim square which was chaos but a perfect chaos. We ate slak burger with the yogurt drink i forget the names, it was amazing. We sat by the busy road and talked to locals where i found out Turkey once had a woman president, and that their biggest traditional singer was a trans woman. At some point a fight broke out between some gangster kids that the oldies quickly broke up. we then went to a local shisha bar and got completely stoned on hashish, the bar owner loved us and sat with us all night, he was a legend. At some point, amongst all the chaos the ezan just came out of nowhere and was sung by a man with an amazing voice. The locals slowed their chaos slightly only to bounce back to their previous rhythm as soon as it finished. We could see monuments and beautiful architecture in the distance, and the street with shops bars and restaurants was never ending. The locals were amazing, they would force us to sit with them and drink tea and the food was to die for! One of the most beautiful gems in the world, a must visit. It was a huge culture shock coming from a little town called Melbourne in Australia and my first time abroad. The experience was wonderful.

Well done young man you certainly have a future in diplomacy!!! I am Greek I have been to Turkey quite a few times and I love this beautiful land and the Turkish people

I have lived in Turkey for a year. Yhe best time of ny life. It has been 5 years ago but I can't stop speaking about this wonderful county and lovely people ❤️ Greetings from Latvia.

Sono stata in Turchia 3 volta i sono assolutamente innamorata di questo magnifico Paese.. aparta la bellezza naturale stupenda, mi ha colpito il popolo veramente incantatore, gentile e amabilissimo. Adora la Turchia e ritornerò presto...

I've been in Turkey 20 years ago for a week. I can say that I've had a great time ❤

I'm really proud of having such young generations like you to make us known as who we are. Thank you for you are doing such videos that shows the reality to the world.

I've been to Turkey and they have been the most friendly people ever! Was able to communicate even with elder people that couldn't speak a word of English, but would be helping with gestures and would be always willing to at least try. The video is so wrong! Can't wait to go back and visit this beautiful and friendly country! Missing the natural beauty and the food of course!

Thank you for the useful video. Tourists sometimes come to my country(Scotland) with a few misconceptions as well. Just got to have a good chuckle about it.

Thanks for sharing what it is really like. It is always wonderful to learn about what really like, even though I will probably never get to visit.

Lived in Turkey for a year! I absolutely love this country people are beautiful with beautiful souls! The country is exquisite with a beautiful rich history! From the culture people food and places and regions this is truly one of the most beautiful and favorite countries I have ever lived in! Only happy memories from your country. ♥️ one of the best places ever for me!

I went to Turkey and had no problem with what I was wearing, very friendly people! I love to go back 💙

I am from the USA, and yes I have heard some of these "Rules". It is nice to have a young, personable host as a less intimidating guide. It is a place that I think I'd like to visit, particularly for the history and some of the coastal scenery. I will subscribe, to learn more about your country. and culture. Thanks for posting.

lived in turkey. I say - people in the touristic areas speak not only English but like dozen of other languages as well.

I've just discovered this video now and my blood is boiling with all the misinformation people dare to spread. However, the way you calmly addressed everything and provided information made me proud of UKpostsrs representing Turkey. Keep up the good work 🍀

I'm from Romania. I've been twice in Turkey, is an amazing country with healthy and tasty food, beautiful places, museums, very nice people, many lovely animals and full culture and history. I felt extraordinarily good and I can't wait coming back. Every weekend I'm going in North Cyprus, Turkish side. My life is there, I'm eatting there, I make shpping..everthing..😁. Also your Turkish language lessons are very good, very easy way learning. Tank you for best teaching..😊. Gabriel,

Excellent advice from a very human and sensible young man.. thank you..

I recently learned about some Turkish ancestry I never knew about most my life, looking at you 100% confirms it without a doubt because you greatly resemble some of my family 😂

Türkiye'ye gittiğimde Türkçe bilmiyordum AMA şimdi öğreniyorum çünkü ülkeyi ve insanları çok seviyorum

I visited Turkey in 2019, and everything that he spoke about misconceptions of Turkey are true, in fact all you need to be respectful to them as any other humans or any other country you visit, apart from that you can wear anything you want, live however you want. I can't wait to visit Turkey again.

My late husband and myself went to Turkey many times. The turkish people are so lovely. They will do anything to help you

Sinir krizi geçirmemek için kendimi zor tuttum. Bu şunu açıklıyor nasıl bir ülke olduğunuz değil avrupanın dünya'ya sizin için biçtiği görünüm önemli...

Yes, when i told people i was travelling alone to Turkey i've was told the worst things. I am in my last day in Istanbul right now, and what i've found is lovely people to chat with, nobody of course telling me to wear or not to wear something, i didn't feel pushed to eat/not to eat, i felt like in any other european city! The original video is absolutely confusing if you've never been here!

I am from India i visited Istanbul Turkey in April 2023 Turkish people were friendly you are absolutely right i enjoyed there 👍

i have to go in Istanbul for Erasmus and fortunately you are helping me to make a true idea of what turkish culture it is! Thank you.

I have lived in Istanbul for 2 years and absolutely love the city. Polite people, superb cuisines, and magestic places. One of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Spent lots of time in Turkey. It has become much less European and more Islamic over the last decade but the people are basically the same; tolerant, welcoming and freindly. As described here.

I had a supervisor from turkey for a few weeks during my apprenticeship and she was the only person I could talk to like a normal human being unlike most german supervisors that I had. If I had to be honest, nowadays western people tend to be much more radical than the most fundamentalist muslims. Btw, I'm not turkish nor muslim myself.

I am Azerbaijanian who visited Turkey several times. That video has been made without any searching. Turkish people are marvellous with their help, kindness, positiveness. I like the way, they behave to tourists. Not only in Istanbul, I have been in other regions as well. So, Turkey is my one of the first option when I decide to visit somewhere) İn my opinion the only problem is with taxises’ drivers, sometimes they try to use long way instead of short. Especially if they see, you are tourist and don’t know about city. You just need to identify your destination in your map and see how much it takes to drive)- not all drivers, some of them do that.

Such a great video. We went to Turkey for the first time 2 weeks ago and everything that was mentioned in the video was the complete opposite. It was such a fantastic country with great, welcoming people. We’re already planning a trip back with our kids. I swear I was offered more tea in the 4 or 5 days that we were there than I’ve had in the last 10 years. 😁

I was in Turky recently, your words are the truth, Turkey is a wonderful place and the Turkish people they are most kindly and moderate.

Great work! Thank you for this informative video.

I love your video, thank you. The Turkish people i have met are the sweetest and kindest people i have ever met. A Turkish co worker of my mine found out i was interested in Turkish culture and wanted to learn the language . He was taken back at first because i am Mexican -American but then i explained that many Latinas like my i started watch Turkish series and feel love them, wanted to really learn about the culture. I shared with him some of my culture and he share his. He also told me about a Turkish store close to my job. I went and everyone was so friendly and they thought was interesting that i wanted to learn about Turkish culture. I still shop there , my uncle loves the simit bread. I am going on my 1st trip to Turkey in August 2022. Im very excited im sorry that guy posted that video ❤️

Merhaba🙂My daughter and I started learning Turkish a little bit. Now,she knows a lot and will take the exam at the Institute.(Yunus Emre).O bir tercuman olabilir 😉.

Went to Turkey with family back in 2008 was 20 years old never been off our Island here in Ireland....well I got tipsy on the way over to Istanbul and carried it on all the way to Alanya ...was on a buzz Night Lights Hotel was beautiful got to the room before sunrise now and opened the balcony doors and was amazed and I heard someone sing out to me so I started singing back well our door was only swung off the hinges and I was taken out from behind by my Uncle my cousin is in a heap laughing until his Dad started slapping the heads off us and explained who was singing.....great country lovely people very welcoming💚

I love all your videos. çok teşekkür ederim. Thanks to my addiction for Turkish dizis, I am a big fan of Turkey and can't wait to visit one day.

Elim ayağım titriyor kgldhfudojdj

My husband is from turkey, he is from zonguldak 😃 turkey is so wonderful! And to be honest... at many points I really had to shake my head 😫 some people don't know anything about turkey but they talk like they do.. that's really sad 😮‍💨 🇦🇹💖🇹🇷

Flew back from side in antalya today cause i went on holiday for a week it was amazing learning about its history and the ancient biuldings they are trying to rebiuld. loved it wish i was still there.
