    @elenazenzolo6689منذ 2 سنوات Thank you for your video, I had my bad experiences, although not in Turkey. I pay attention to your words: "dont be afraid to be rude", and id="hidden3" class="buttons"> scammers pick their targets based on certain criterias, even if you just look kind. I came to the point Im wearing dark shades, so, I do not make any eye contact with anyone at all, I do not answer any questions, pretending not to understand: this is nowadays surviving guide, the world is not an honest place, and, what really annoys me, is the actual fact that many tourists are not so rich, but they work hard for saving the money for a well deserved holiday. And thats what they come across. great video, thank you! ....وسعت 67

    @BELOVEDThessaloniki111منذ 2 سنوات About a month ago we went to Istanbul . The first taxi driver asked 700 liras to take us from Ortakoy to Taksim . We turned him down because we knew it id="hidden4" class="buttons"> was too much. The second said he would use the taximetre and the final charge was that of about 55 liras. He also got a 20 lira bill as a tip . Istanbul was great and the people also, except perhaps from the people at some restaurants who called us "stingy " just because we didn't want to buy their cheap parfums. From Greece with love ❤. ....وسعت 160

    @allanizniylepunk4822منذ 2 سنوات As a local from Alanya, I will give u all some advice: Follow the steps of other Turkish locals/local young folk to avoid this. I mean look around yourself id="hidden5" class="buttons"> and watch what other young Turkish people do, where they eat their food, which bars they are going to and generally which locations they are crowdedly present..etc. I mean try to analyze the situation as a whole picture.
    For example, firstly don't get scammed by that chatting personnel who always try to start a chat with u from nowhere and offer you something. (Those ankward, shitty guys who always wanna chat when they immediately see u) We generally see what happens: All of them call of u like have a seat lady, have food from here mister or they always call u for a boat tour etc. While u having fun with some service, they generally planning how to bargain your money a little bit more.Of course I wouldn't say that is all of them are like this, but it would be better if u can be a bit more skeptical to avoid scams.
    What do Turkish locals/young people think about this whole process u wonder? Actually, we feel sad for you. Also, we really get full of cringe so much by seeing that. Don't listen to them. Don't play the game with their rule, and don't lose unfair money. Additionally, If you see more tourists rather than locals in a restaurant, for example, and if that restaurant or bar is located in the Alanya dock region, you probably gonna be scammed. Also, don't be fooled by those other awkward guys behaving like monkeys or dancing like idiots to entertain you. I am sorry to say this but, while they are acting as a friend to you, again, they generally thinking the money or.. they having ugly chat between themselves about your lovers and wives. Because they are mainly coming from uneducated parts of the country for just to work in summer in Alanya. As I mention above, they are generally not locals of Alanya, and if you pay attention most of the locals are missing, you can't find locals at their bars, restaurants, or other places. I hope this long writing helps.

    5. I didn't take service of any shoe cleaner or shiner, because Turkey was so clean regarding roads that my shoes never need to clean, I just clean them by rubbing with a piece of toilet paper . Lol

Anyway, we really and very much liked Istanbul, had a beautiful stay, met nice people, we'll definitely be back and happy we have supported great and hardworking traders as well as nice ordinary people❤ ....وسعت 13

    @raynebeauty7444منذ 2 سنوات This is a nice vid. Thanks for sharing. The bar scam seems like one where you just need to practice common sense. The one thing that I don’t understand is why so many people always seem to have an “open tab” - why not just pay as you order… like “I’ll take 2…,” and then ask how much… and just pay it. It’s kind of hard to get stuck with a bill ..when you’ve already paid for your order upfront. ....وسعت 3

    @trimartono1562منذ 2 سنوات Once when I was admiring Hagia Sophia from outside, a man out of the blue asked me (in English) what time is Hagia Sophia closed. I thought to myself: id="hidden18" class="buttons"> why on earth do you ask that to me? Do I look like an officer?
    But then I didn't answer him whatsoever. He then asked me where I am from, do I speak English..
    I completely ignored him, and acted like he did not exist. And then I walked away.
    I always bear in my mind: anyone who out of the blue starts conversation with me in good english (especially in touristy area in İstanbul), is a scammer. Do not answer him anything. Not even a gesture (nodding, shaking head, etc.). Just ignore him.

    @pedroewert143منذ 2 سنوات the one scam where you pay in a bar has some variations too- often in the first bar the unknown stranger will pay, so in the second bar he then makes you id="hidden19" class="buttons"> feel like its your turn. The second bar sometimes has very high prices on a menu like hundreds of dollars per drink (i think police try to close these down and are helpful). Sometimes in the second bar they will kind of "kidnap" you, drive you to some cash mashine until they have "their" money.
    Another think is to check the menu for service fees and so on. Often they will bring you stupid bread and water and you may think its just hospitality, so you have to decline in right away because often they charge some big amount for that without you knowing

I live in Mahmutlar and I've never been scammed, but there have been attempts. Other big scams are real estate scams and renovation scams. When buying real estate, it's best to invest in a reputable lawyer who speaks your language. When a person wants to help with a renovation, ask for a business address, a real phone number and business license number, and NEVER give money as a down payment. A license number can always be researched. ....وسعت 12

    The Taxis in our nearest large town Fethiye are ok and they all use the taxi meters. Where we are in a Holiday area the Taxis refuse to use the meters and charge a set fee. Much higher than if the meter was used.
    Always ask the price first if not advertised. Even if its only adding a drink to a meal.

    @sabinas1915منذ 2 سنوات My bf is from Canada and I must tell, it’s a horrible experience. Every person in Istanbul feel like it’s his obligation to scam him. Staring from the taxi drivers and then to infinity. About the taxi drivers yes they are official and no that means NOTHING! They will scam you with a smile. We took an official taxi from sabiha Gökçen airport in Istanbul and the driver said that we have to pay him 200 liras for the speed road. We had the same issue three months earlier. We agreed cuz it’s normal to pay for the speed roads. But I thought it was strange one guy took 100 liras and the other took 200 liras. So I called 153 (authority that deals with such things) and they told me that client has to pay 33 liras in total for that. 33 liras! And in two cafes we were also almost scammed. On one of them the waiter just put the service fee into the bill. But I know it’s wrong. You can leave the tip, but only if you want. In another cafe the guy came up to my bf and said you have to give me the tip, cuz it’s not included into the bill. Both of the cafes were in good districts where locals go. One in Nisantasi and another one is in besiktas. One is called kruvasan and another is called minoa akaretler. I always loved Istanbul, but after this kind of experience I want to get out of here as soon as possible. It’s a stress, every single day. ....وسعت 28

    @dbxlounge556منذ 2 سنوات Hi Olga, I just came across your channel and have to say it's very informative. Thank you for sharing info with us.
    I am planning to travel to Alanya alone for the first time and I have a question regarding transportation from the airport to the hotel.
    Since I am looking for more affordable option and I would like to be safe, I think I would choose Havas bus to get to my hotel. However, my question is if I take Havas bus on the airport will the bus drop me off in the city center or some other place? How will I know where to exit?
    If Havas bus drops me off in the city center in Alanya is there a taxi station where I can take taxi to get to hotel and how far is it from the place where the bus stops?
    Thank you in advance. ❤️

    1-If you don't have top urgent meeting, do not use Taksi. Metro - otobüs - dolmuş is the best, you can be sure that you will have funny/ different experiences. BTW taksi licenses, taxes and fees are high,
    and also it is a special service, I mean driver and his vehicle remain on your instruction/direction only, so maybe should be generous in paying for such services.
    2-Restaurant--- If you need enjoy your meal, don't look for best places with high quality decorations , near to beach etc. an authentic place is enough. or do your search well before gong our from your hotel.
    3- Please try to speak Turkish language, at least a little bi, dont make our old people crazy while helping you for location etc. :))

    @marivicintano1081منذ 2 سنوات Oh i experienced a lot of scams in Turkey. Taxi, bars, restaurants, tour operators and a lot more. It is a beautiful country, so many things to explore id="hidden39" class="buttons"> but full of dishonest people. I think they will progress a lot if they are tourist friendly and honest. ....وسعت 6

    @GuidoHatsizzمنذ 2 سنوات Great video like always.
    I was in Turkiye about 7 days ago and now back in Australia.
    You forgot to add the currency exchange exam. I have id="hidden40" class="buttons"> changed AUD to TR at Grand Bazaar where the venue at CCTV, before leaving I examined the currency to avoid getting counterfeit money but on this instance I have 100 lira short. So I went Ziraat bank in future exchanges and their exchange rate was extremely good.
    People just be careful when using with taxis in Turkey

    @uhrologe2596منذ 2 سنوات Actually the best way to enjoy Turkey is outside of the typical Tourist destinations.
    As like central or east anatolia, black sea or hatay. id="hidden41" class="buttons"> />I personaly avoid the turkish mediterrania coast. Beside of scam many services are just a rip off, low service quality, no standards for anything, noisy party, overcrowded and still annoyed by unnecessary service offers even if you try to hide in your resort. If you reject they show you how much pissed of they are.
    I'm often surprised what some people spend in total for their turkey holidays.
    For less you can spend wonderful time on Mauritius or Maledives for example.
    But as I said. If you go outside of the beaten paths you can ejoy turkey much better. The nature the historical sites and the people.
    P.s. I love your both acting skills Very cute and lovely.

    @iamric23قبل 7 أشهر Been to Istanbul and I can say that the store owners are very in your face. I ended up walking in the middle of the walking area between the 2 store areas all the way down. Just don't make eye contact. 1
