The Turkey YOU NEVER SEE 🇹🇷 (Life on the Black Sea coast, Türkiye)

This is Rize, in north eastern Turkey (Türkiye). The capital of a region that is not widely visited but arguably one of the most friendly and beautiful in Turkey. Rize itself is famous as both the tea growing capital of Türkiye and as the birthplace of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. After falling ill and having to rethink our entire travel pans, we arrived here on an overnight bus from Ankara en route to the border with Georgia. We only had a little while to explore the city but we found an incredible place with some of the friendliest locals throughout any of our travels in Turkey both this year and last! 🇹🇷

    Just like to say I love Turkey. I first went there in 83 for a year tour of duty on the Black Sea. Great country and great people. I've been back a couple times since, but nothing beats living there. O to be young again.

    Hi Matt and Julia 👋. Thanks for showing us this beautiful and friendly city of Rize. Understandably, Turkey has such varied geography but I was so enamored with the lush green scenery. ❤️🏞 I have mentioned to you before that you seem to "bring out the best" in the people that you meet. It must be the "aura" of kindness that you project. 👍🤗🤣. Take care, friends and enjoy your time in Georgia. Have a pleasant and rewarding weekend. 🤗❤️🙏🌎

    I was taught Turkish, back in the mid 90"s by the wife of a boss I had. He taught, as did she, at the University of Michigan. I will always remember Muge. ( strange pairing of a couple, she is Muslim, and Charlie is jewish. Go figure!) I barely remember any of it. But I was able , back then, to order lunch at a turkish cafe here in Ann Arbor. The owner would try to chat me up, but I had to explain that was all I knew. She would hug me and thank me for trying that much at least. Matt, you still sound a little hoarse (no, not like a pony). Keep drinking that tea, it will help your throat. Good to find out that those two condiments, the red and white ones, probably originated in Turkey. Any idea how many thousands of years ago? I will try to research that on line for you. Again, fantastic camera work, love the scenery. Be safe, get better, Love you guys!

The kahvalti looks so appetising, my heart yearns for it, long time since I had the privilege 😥😋 I love your briefing on those exotic genuine Turkish condiments Matt 🤣🤣 I sincerely hope that it was not the actual tuvalet I saw in the background of the footage at the station? 🤢Thanks for the lovely video and go well! ❤❤

    As I look at your film this place, everything that is happening next door, especially on the other side of the Black Sea, reminds me of one thing. This is what a certain aviation general, one of the air aces who fought in one world war and then in another, said. A few hours before that, he shoot in his head he said to his grirlfriend: "We should get married and have kids, not fight in some fucking wars." Especially, managed by old Ali Baba and his 40 robbers.
