I'm from Turkey and Malini always asked people if they belonged to the West or the East. Choosing one side always means losing the other side, so Turkey has a chance not to choose one side. We are both East and West, we have lived through such a century and we will continue to live like this.

The Cow , Chapter 2 , Revealed at Al-Madinah by The Holy Spirit ( Angel Gabriel ) to the Last Prophet Muhammed a.s in the early 7th century ; In the name of Allah The Beneficent The Merciful : 115. Unto Allah belong The East and The West , and whithersoever ye turn , there is Allah ' s Countenance. Lo ! Allah is All - Embracing , All - Knowing . 116. And they say : Allah hath taken unto Himself a son . Be HE Glorified ! Nay , but whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth is His . All are subservient unto Him. 117. The Originator of the heavens and the earth ! When He decreeth a thing , He saith unto it only : Be ! And it is . The Glorious Qur'an
I visited it last summer. It's one of my favorite cities in the world.
What makes Istanbul stand out as a fab city, is it’s heritage, culture and values. I hope it never loses it’s identity as a city that has a deep and beautiful soul. No other city comes close to the richness like Istanbul.

He's exhaggerating. Seriously, Turkey's not North Korea. You just need to mind how you say certain things. In Turkey, you can find a scientist openly calling religious as ''Nonsense'', yes there are backlashes but you can't get in trouble that easily either.

Enjoy your time. I recommend trying the baklava pastries and dondurma ice cream. Also try the lokum sweets. You might be able to bring some over. Also try the authentic donner kebab in Iskender in Istanbul. Real kebab not like the minced garbage in UK chip shops.
I am in love with Istanbul! My love for Turkish culture began when I was 12 years old when my sister's Albanian friend introduced me to one of Tarkan's songs. I finally got a chance to travel to Istanbul when I was in university for an exchange semester in 2015. I've been coming back ever since. I finally moved to Turkey a few months ago to Tekirdag. Hoping in the next 2-3 years I'll be able to move to Istanbul, Beykoz ideally.

I'm thinking of moving in a year or so to Istanbul. I fell in love witht the turkish culture back in 2017. I visted for the first time two weeks ago and I fell in love!
Beautiful voyage and introduction to This marvellous city of Istanbul ❤ I loved everything and I cannot wait for the day I can go visit it with my own eyes and heart 💜 absolutely stunning Thank you 🙏🏼 Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Malini: Thanks you so much for this new remarkable video today’s from Istanbul, Turkey in March of 2023.I really LOVE this great video released today in great joy 2023❤❤❤
Great content and production as always. Thank you
I watched your video about Beirut. a City I have visited many times a great video from any aspect. I can't say the same about this. I don't know if is the only one from instabul but in this one you're scratching only the surface. excellent cinematography as always.
Watching from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
I think you chose the guides who weren't able to show the real 'istanbul'. There's so much more to it. Feel free to reach out to me. The current context is super 'orientalist' i'm afraid..

Awesome video as always, and I wished if you went deeper into the history of the city and its dynamics, it felt like scratching around the surface.

Another banger 💥 Love your content
no matter conservative or secular, it exists in many other religions & other parts of the world. when we look at the statistics, even most of the Christians living in the western world are not even religious or conservative. everything has to be balanced. cultural tolerance key to social harmony, don't judge each other, just relaxs n enjoy your life.❤
I love Istanbul,,so watch all the uploads of that city,,but your documentary is the best one I ve seen so far,,it covers so many topics ,,of that place,,,content is very good 👍
Wow I ❤️❤️ it a lot. It was a video on brain and belly i.e. history n food. It not only showed different angles of the city from the normal ones but the past vis a vis the present. Adorable 😍. I wish you had visited other main cities. They are amazing with valuable culture, lifestyle, landscape, history n other settlements. Your video was very much different from others. Best of luck. Happy travelling n TC....🌹☺️
The video that encompasses everything, including Istanbul's delicious food, Gezi and Atatürk, is beautiful. Thank you
You can never get tired of Turkey, exotic, traditional, historical, culturally rich… very unique country!

It certainly draws you in and makes you want to go doesn't it.
Can’t put my finger on why but Istanbul reminds me quite a bit of Mexico City. Both megacities with a fast changing identity from rapid development with defined pockets of historic areas and neighborhoods populated by young politically active people, nightlife, street food and a Mediterranean climate.
I love watching your documentaries. 😍😇

7:37 your producers set you up Malini , I give you credit for wonderfully describing yucky food as “Different” 😂
Another great video 👍
This has to be the best travel account on youtube. No BS, no goofy cliches, and very nuanced. I've met few Brits that would try sheep brain, btw. Way to break the brits abroad stereotype
Only love and respect for this beloved city. There is nothing quite like it in the whole world! Greetings and love from Greece
The last part which as you say is very much surprising, i did not expect it to be like that. 👍
Fantastic footage and to hear the different guides perceptions of the culture and aged integration and acceptance of other faiths. Beautiful.

another great video, narration and edit. I am of iberian sourced..and science claimed turkey as my origin. I said.. it will never be where I am from, but will always be a true destination.
Turkey is a very beautiful and historical land. People are so kind and I love this land. I personally think the Turkish should find out their own way to "develop" this country, because of the historical and exotic, uniqueness of the location. The bridge between Europe and Asia is an advantage in culture and economics.
I love Istanbul.
Cool, I went there in January. So for a moment I was cool like Malini :) She is inspiring.
Very good. Hoping for more destinations I can connect with. Subscribed.

Big fan of yours! Loving this channel. Come to vibrant India! So much to explore!

Very Very informative video

I think it is worth mentioning here that the importance of Istanbul and The Bosphorus together with Dardanelles are that they are providing a passage for the Russian military and the navy into the Mediterranean and back to the Black Sea through Marmara.
Great content
