If you are planning to travel to Istanbul, Turkey, this Istanbul travel vlog covers everything from the Grand Bazaar to local Turkish street food and taking the ferry to the Asian Side. Our first time in Istanbul was an absolute sensory overload, and we were completely unprepared for the massive crowds, the vibrant culture, and the endless maze of the Grand Bazaar. This video is an honest look at what it actually feels like to land in Turkey and immediately dive into the beautiful chaos of the city.

We quickly learned that the best way to experience the city is through the incredible Istanbul street food and the legendary hospitality of the locals. From getting a traditional Turkish haircut to tasting underground pit lamb and taking a $1 ferry to the Asian side of Istanbul, we tried it all. Even though we made a few hilarious mistakes navigating the markets, exploring the best things to do in Turkey turned out to be an unforgettable adventure.
