Can I Live Away from Istanbul? Kastamonu Travel & Food

I take you from the busy rhythm of Istanbul to the calm streets, flavors, and stories of Kastamonu asking myself: Can I Live Away from Istanbul?. Along the way, we share a simple breakfast with local classics, wander through the market, visit the tomb and mosque of Şeyh Şaban-ı Veli, discover small shops, and try (and sometimes miss!) the local food traditions.

This is more than just a travel vlog — it’s about slowing down, tasting what locals eat, and connecting with people through food and culture. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to live in a Turkish town away from Istanbul, this episode will give you a taste.
