we might soon be moving to Greece so appreciate you exploring this region of the world for us 🇹🇷🤘🇬🇷
Great video of Canakkale lots of layers of history, both ancient and modern. There is a place called ANZAC cove on the Gallipolli Peninsula in the Dardanelles , where Australian and New Zealander people come to pay respects for their soldiers who died back in 1915 during World War I. Looking forward to seeing Troy. Thank you. ❤😊
Another epic trip
Much better
Great video Gabriel😊 looking forward for next video from Troy 👍😊
How are the prices overall? Some YouTube vloggers have raised a flag that things are now more expensive in Turkey.
I had terrible experience with taxi drivers in istanbul
Those are definitely tourist prices
Someday I’ll be First but for now I will tell my mind I was 😂
Unbelievable value for money! If it’s this cheap in peak season, how cheap is it off-season?! Amazing!
What is the story of the submarine, does anybody know at 7:36?
Gabriel, Get well soon! I wanted to tell you that my nephew, he is watching every video of yours start to finish and keeps track where you go. He had mentioned he even remembers some of the WiFi and temperature data you mention.
9:45 Türkiye Turkiyeeeeee yeaaaaaaa 🎉
Hi Gabriel, an interesting town that must be the jewelry district there were at least a dozen shops there it had a feel of New York jewelry district phenomenal. Looking forward to seeing the ancient city of Troy that must be an incredible site. The phrase Trojan Horse is use today as an expression of a malware attack and the expression Achilles heel an area of weakness killed by a poison arrow in his heel or ankle.
We were just in Turkey a couple of months ago, found that the atm at the post office doesn't charge fees!
👍
Note, the opening music reminded me of a Rush/Geddy Lee free form bass riff.
👍👍
Be well…Probably is a variant of coxvxid, everybody I know got it, 4 days of throat pain and nose, and that's it, easy.
🙂❤👍Thank You Gabriel 🙂❤👍
😊❤🇧🇦
The most annoying thing in Turkey is that everyone smokes, men and women, and everywhere.
I was also recently in Turkey and could not find an ATM that did not charge such high withdrawal rates. I used credit card after that. I suggest arriving with a wad of local currency on hand.
"Randomly" really? I seem to recall something about karma…action, reaction – consequences
You could always Western Union yourself ? That would be an alternative to avoid the extortionate withdrawal fees.
Yeah, Monte Negro much much better.
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..
awww you are kiilleen me! I was so ready to see Troy! Love your adventures!
Go to the PTT ( Turkish Postal Service ) for cash withdrawals at their ATMs there are no charges applied.
Having with fervor on history, it's my dream to visit Ancient city of Troy, wish I can visit on some day. I am waiting to watch the next part of this video.
Get well soon,next time c,d-3 and zinc
thanks for taking us on your travels
Surely you meant Trojan Rabbit 😊
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.
Azerbaijan for Hi
Saw the thumbnail and thought, "First 7-11?" 🤷 😂
Can definitely hear it in your voice, get better. Safe travels
I have never visit there, thank you for transporting me, saludos
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍👍👍👍
Great videos with just enough history to keep it from being boring you do great work. Some of these commenters should just start their own channel.
Intro 🎶🎵 music is hyped Gab❤.
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.
