00:00Greetings everyone from Prizren, Kosovo.
00:04We're shooting an interesting video today.
00:06Let me state this first.
00:09After having our full mixed grill at a lovely restaurant called Berska
00:12We are filming Sinan Pasha Mosque.
00:15Yes, Sinan Pasha Mosque is a mosque that particularly dates back to the Ottoman era.
00:20And this place is under protection by TIKA (Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency).
00:23The necessary restoration and repair works were carried out by TİKA.
00:28The historical mosque has a history of 500-600 years.
00:32We'll leave from here immediately and go to the lower floor of the mosque.
00:39So we're focusing on this old Ottoman fountain located beneath the mosque.
00:44Yes, it's obvious from every aspect that our fountain is very old.
00:48Check to see if the water is cold enough to even touch the water itself.
00:52Yes, it's quite cold.
00:55Yes.
00:57I wanted to drink.
00:58He's telling me to drink it too.
00:59I first told them, "Please, go ahead and try it."
01:02Yes, this is Prizren.
01:04We are very close to the center.
01:06You can see it right ahead.
01:07There's a bridge on the other side.
01:10And when we turn around like this again, this direction is the center, the bazaar, the market.
01:15There are shops on both sides.
01:17There is a Turkish restaurant here.
01:19A mansion.
01:21There's a considerable Turkish population here, friends.
01:24Let me state that.
01:25Let's take a couple of shots right here.
01:27After that, we'll cross to the other side of the bridge.
01:30Yes, once again, DP Park, which looks familiar from Istanbul, the one we know from the past.
01:33Places we know from Türkiye.
01:35On the left, you can see the Beska restaurant again.
01:38Friends, if you ever come here, if you ever visit Prizren, you absolutely must eat at this restaurant.
01:42There really isn't just any menu, or just any dish.
01:47So the plate they give is for three people, but they give it to you as a single serving.
01:51I've never seen such a large portion in Türkiye in my life.
01:55I highly recommend it.
01:56Meanwhile, it's incredibly hot in Prizren today.
02:00It's July.
02:01A temperature of 40 degrees.
02:02My husband goes and washes himself in that fountain over there.
02:06To that extent.
02:07Yes, let's film Münare from there again.
02:11Cobblestone streets.
02:12He greets us here too.
02:15Okay guys, this is going to be a rather long video.
02:18I don't interrupt this video much.
02:20Thank you for your patience.
02:21We are filming under difficult conditions.
02:23Please try to understand our situation too.
02:25I hope you'll like it.
02:26I hope you like the page.
02:28You'll like the channel and follow it.
02:30I would be very pleased if you did that, of course.
02:33Yes, we're continuing our trip.
02:35Again, there are boutiques on both sides here.
02:39Souvenir Silver Shops.
02:41Let's state this immediately.
02:42Friends, Albanians live in Kosovo.
02:45So, we can almost say this about Kosovo.
02:48Kosovo equals Albania, that is.
02:49All Albanians are 80% Albanian.
02:52In our country, 5% are Turkish.
02:531-2 Serbs live there.
02:55A few thousand, whatever.
02:57This is how Bosnians live, etc.
03:00It's a cosmopolitan place.
03:03The second largest city is, of course, in Kosovo.
03:07Yes, you see the sign that says Prizren.
03:10As mentioned above.
03:11Interesting friends.
03:13It's a trilingual situation.
03:15It's available in three languages here.
03:16As you know, in Turkish, the word for street is abbreviated as S-K.
03:19What if Ulish?
03:20Again, that thing called Russia, whatever it is.
03:23Ulişse means street, as you know.
03:25In other words, in that language.
03:26In Slavic languages.
03:27R-R written there is also in the Albanian language.
03:30Probably Gasper Karaki.
03:32Karaki is actually K, which stands for Q.
03:35We can call him Karaki because he taught us to read.
03:39Yes.
03:40Let's take a general shot from right over there, from across the street, and show you.
03:43Our main restaurant is Konak Kafa Restaurant.
03:45He's almost in Istanbul right now.
03:47We are in any city in Türkiye.
03:49That's how Prizren feels to us.
03:52The Kosomalis and Albanians here already speak Turkish exceptionally well.
03:57I don't think there will be a language problem in that regard either.
04:01Yes.
04:03We continue our journey.
04:04Here we are again, on the Historical Bridge.
04:06We are on the Ottoman Bridge and
04:10Yes.
04:11Let's show it right here on the left.
04:13There's the Tree-lined Bridge over there.
04:15On the other side, this is the Ottoman Bridge.
04:18Stone Bridge.
04:19The famous stone bridges of the Ottoman Empire.
04:22Here, when he says Kalaja, he's teaching Kalaja, which means Z-Y.
04:27Therefore, in the sense of a fortress.
04:29Castle.
04:30A place worth visiting.
04:32We'll go up if the castle isn't too far away, but we were told it's a bit of a distance.
04:38Let's see what else there is.
04:40Hotel Teran is also here on the left.
04:44There's another mosque in the back.
04:48Historical Ottoman Mosques.
04:49Now, from here, I want to chart this course.
04:53We continue our tour.
04:55There's another sign on the tree here, but I honestly don't understand exactly what it is.
05:01It looks like an advertisement.
05:04We mentioned that our hotel is on the right side.
05:08You can see Sinan Pasha Mosque on the left.
05:10We crossed to the other side of the bridge and are continuing our filming from there.
05:16There's a bike rental place on the right.
05:18There's Rentebike.
05:19This is the Terando Hotel restaurant.
05:22It must be one of the famous hotels around here.
05:27The air temperature is around 40 degrees.
05:29It's incredibly hot.
05:33Yes, there's an Anamut group here that's buying corn.
05:38Oh, okay.
05:39Marriage, yes, they are getting married, friends.
05:41We wish them happiness.
05:45Yes, they erected the Anamut statue up there on the hill.
05:50We witnessed this ourselves.
05:53Today's convoy resembles typical Turkish customs.
05:58We honk our horns like this too.
06:00We also form convoys, you know.
06:03Yes, now after wishing the couple happiness...
06:09On the left side, you can see Ottoman architecture again.
06:14It's possible to find some of the Safranbolu architecture here as well.
06:17As you may recall, this also happened in Skopje and Ohrid, in Macedonia as well.
06:22It was possible to see Ottoman architecture, the architecture of Safranbolu.
06:26We already know from history that what is important for us is this:
06:29The architects who built Safranbolu, and those who designed Safranbolu...
06:35They were summoned here by the pashas in the Ottoman Empire.
06:38They are, of course, also expected to design these areas.
06:43Now we come to our river shots.
06:47Yes, this is an active river.
06:50The water has probably dried up a bit because it's summer.
06:53But still, the flow isn't bad at all.
06:57We are now on the stone bridge.
07:01Okay, let's take a look.
07:03A prism-like scene has formed here.
07:07It looks like our trip is going to be really long.
07:09The Turkish consulate is right across the street, by the way.
07:13Now, by the way, Prizren isn't really that big of a city, folks.
07:18So, centrally speaking, it's not large.
07:20Of course, it has its periphery, its surroundings.
07:23Here we can see the Consulate General of the Republic of Türkiye across the way.
07:29Yes, we will quickly resume our filming.
07:34Now there is a bridge of love there.
07:36People are already familiar with Slavic culture.
07:39People who are in love, or two people who want to fall in love, attach their kits here.
07:46And they lock it.
07:48Anyway.
07:48Some people throw the key into the sea, others keep it safe.
07:52Now, this is a custom.
07:54Whether in Slovenia or Slovakia, let my name be mentioned in the text.
07:57Here, too, among the Albanians, there is such a custom.
08:00Let's take a look at this custom right here.
08:04How they locked the kits with keys, etc.
08:10We also tried locking up our friends back in the day, but nothing happened.
08:14So it's partly superstition, then.
08:16We have to find love ourselves, or maybe I don't know anymore if this is fate or if you'll have to search for it.
08:23Anyway.
08:24These are superstitions, found in every culture.
08:26On the left, meanwhile, across the river, you can see lovely restaurants and cafes.
08:32Here again, on the left, is the Sina 1967 restaurant.
08:36Believe me, guys, right now I'm literally melting like butter from the heat.
08:41We are in the hottest month of the year.
08:44I don't know about August, but I can say for sure that July is the hottest month.
08:49In winter, you can't walk around here because of the snow and other things.
08:53As we often say, the cold air coming from the Balkans is having an impact on Türkiye.
08:58The Balkans are indeed a cold region.
09:00But in the summer, especially this summer with its dry heat, it's quite scorching.
09:06Yes, you see our experiment.
09:07We've come a long way now.
09:11Yes.
09:14Look, it's flown by like water.
09:15We've finished the 9 minutes.
09:17We've arrived at the Bridge of Love.
09:19This is the Bridge of Love, folks.
09:22Look, people have written their names like this, using the first letter of their names.
09:28They tied them up.
09:29It's quite old.
09:31For example, there are people here who write D-J.
09:37Meanwhile, the familiar yellow locks were used.
09:40Here we see an original lock.
09:42Heart-shaped lock.
09:43Yes.
09:44By the way, it says "Uğur in Mızoyu Siva" on the back.
09:48Yes, I wonder if it was our people who did that.
09:52He locked it in here.
09:53Yes, it's an interesting custom.
09:54We can call the Key Bridge the Love Bridge.
09:57Right across the way, you can see the stone bridge, built in Ottoman architectural style.
10:04Right there.
10:05We've arrived now.
10:07We crossed to the other side of the bridge.
10:09We will be doing some of our filming here as well.
10:11There's a street here waiting to be built.
10:15This place is called Shaip Spahiu.
10:18Now let's look at these houses here, which again resemble Ottoman architecture.
10:27There's a hostel across the street.
10:30My favorite.
10:32Wherever I go, I always try to stay in a hostel.
10:36Hostels are great because you get to know the local culture better.
10:41You meet foreign friends.
10:43You can network.
10:44Hostels are always good for him.
10:47We're looking again on the right.
10:50Hello.
10:53A café, a restaurant-style place.
10:56There's another place here called Beni.
10:57Patos.
10:58A small market that sells potato chips.
11:03Yes, even this short trip really tired us out.
11:07I had already taken a picture of Silla 1967 from a distance a little while ago.
11:10Let's take a look around here and see what's there.
11:17We have a beautiful yellow house on the right.
11:19It's like a single-story building.
11:21There's another hotel across the street.
11:26There is a place called Ramoretti.
11:28Let's remember that Kosovars, the Anamuts, are close to Italian culture.
11:32That's why they love Italian coffee so much.
11:35Of course, they love his pizza.
11:37They love Italian ice cream.
11:40Their culture is somewhat close to Italian, or rather, to Italian culture.
11:46There's something my guide mentioned here as well.
11:48Rozmenli is very cheap at Pizzan.
11:51They even recommended that the women traveling with us shop here.
12:00Now we'll quickly continue our tour.
12:06We continue our tour of Pizzan.
12:13Yes, we are surprised to see people speaking Turkish here.
12:17There are street names like Ankara Street, Istanbul Street, and so on.
12:20A significant Turkish influence, an Ottoman influence, is present in this city.
12:26Now let's go to the other side of the bridge.
12:29On the other side of the bridge, we come across Heroi Kombi Cevat Berisma.
12:38Annavut is a hero, friends.
12:40It's probably a combo combat battle anyway.
12:43Heroi is already a hero.
12:47The hero in English.
12:48One of the war heroes.
12:51Here again, as you know, friends, UÇEK is an independence movement, a liberation movement, that is not liked in Serbia but is loved and popular here.
13:01movement.
13:01Therefore, UÇEK is a very popular thing here.
13:04Cevat Berisha.
13:05Remember Berisha, by the way?
13:07Berisha is also the goalkeeper's name.
13:09There's a famous Albanian goalkeeper.
13:11That's his name.
13:13Burek Sarajeva exists.
13:14You can see it right there on the left.
13:16There's Sarajevo burek, there's Bosnian burek.
13:19Yes.
13:22Nushi is over there.
13:23This is the square.
13:25You see another rising sunbeam.
13:28Having Way Bar Launch is available.
13:30Above, there is another place that resembles the houses of Safranbolu.
13:33Now.
13:36Where were we now?
13:37Let's find our way right away.
13:40Now we've entered the mosque area.
13:42Let's dive in here too.
13:44Let's see what's here.
13:45Now, since this is a cosmopolitan place, of course you'll find mosques, churches, synagogues, whatever you can think of, all side by side.
13:54They are living their lives peacefully.
13:57We can say that it's a whole thing; interfaith dialogue is already a very popular phenomenon in the Balkans.
14:03It's an incident.
14:03Yes, there are roads here that need to be built.
14:07At the very end.
14:12And there's a telecom company called Vala.
14:16It's called Z Mobile Ipko Zok.
14:19These are the operators here.
14:24Yes, we have a toy shop here.
14:27You see.
14:28Local toys.
14:30Here are the flags, the little things.
14:32Like Mother Teresa and so on.
14:34Yes, the Balkan region is indeed very interesting.
14:37It's very cosmopolitan.
14:38This might be surprising at first, especially for those coming from Türkiye.
14:45Because Türkiye isn't very colorful when we look at it.
14:51I mean, in this sense...
14:52The people here have different religions, languages, and so on.
14:55Everyone knows who's who.
14:59Even other families, non-Muslims and so on.
15:01Of course, there are also situations where a girl is not given in marriage.
15:05If you look around, there's another Kosovar market here called Sirvus.
15:10There is an Albanian market.
15:12Someone is pushing and shoving.
15:14Blonde special.
15:15Yes.
15:16Hairdresser.
15:19Perfumery.
15:20Let's make an entrance right there on the left.
15:23A church caught our eye.
15:25Yes, let's see what this church is for and what they do here.
15:30Is there an entrance?
15:32No entrance?
15:33What are you doing?
15:34I'm just taking photos of the city.
15:36Not here?
15:37Okay, thanks.
15:40Now, yes, I'm allowed to enter the church.
15:43Well, things like that can happen.
15:45We need to respect that.
15:47Now we're going upwards.
15:52We also have a meeting with Redber at 4:20.
15:54It's been 3.31 hours here.
15:56Turn the clock one hour inland from Türkiye during the summer months.
16:03On the right side, let's call it a small church.
16:08It's an old church, by the way.
16:09A historic church.
16:10But it's very small.
16:13It resembles the mosques we have.
16:16Yes, we don't go into too much detail here.
16:20Since we don't know much about the local culture, we don't want to do anything wrong.
16:24We shouldn't really get involved with people here.
16:28It's important not to offend or hurt anyone's feelings.
16:31We do what the locals tell us to do.
16:34Hotel My Home is located here.
16:36Just 50 meters to the left.
16:39Now we've started to move upwards.
16:41Roads will probably be built here.
16:43I expect it will be soon.
16:47On the right is the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.
16:52Kosovo's.
16:52You see.
16:54He says Republike e Kosovas.
16:57Raw meatball house.
16:58Yes, çiğköfte is one of our dishes.
17:01Our older brothers are here.
17:03He even calls them chefs and stuff.
17:06Interesting.
17:07Cafe Bar Cafe.
17:09Galeriya.
17:10They're around here.
17:12How long would it take if we climbed to the castle?
17:16I'm not sure, though.
17:18Yes, folks, an amazing tour is underway right now.
17:22We came here.
17:23Ismet Shasari Kumanova.
17:26There is a street.
17:28Opasnos.
17:28See, it's written in three languages again.
17:30Danger.
17:32Yes.
17:32Look, guys.
17:35We are in a trilingual city right now.
17:37We are Prizland.
17:38This could be a huge cultural exchange for you.
17:40You use three languages at the same time.
17:42So it's not an easy thing.
17:43That's interesting.
17:46Here you can see the electricity poles again.
17:48You have another church.
17:50Along with the bell.
17:53Yes, you are entering the church.
17:56Hopefully the filming went well.
17:58It can sometimes glare because the sun is shining on it too much.
18:03Yes.
18:05This is a map of the city.
18:08Monuments, museums, traditional places.
18:11It shows us what's what.
18:14Now we've come down.
18:18I don't want to stray too far from the goal.
18:20Hotel Antica is on the left.
18:26Another?
18:28Let's take a look.
18:30By the way, this city is actually very suitable for cycling.
18:33My advice is, if you're in the Balkans and you don't have a car, use a bicycle.
18:37And people in the Balkans already enjoy cycling.
18:41So if I were in their place, I would ride a bicycle too.
18:46Let me also mention this.
18:47Let me add this right away.
18:48Gasoline isn't cheap here.
18:49Because, after all, Kosovo is a new country.
18:53And they don't even have oil to begin with.
18:54Therefore, gasoline prices are not cheap.
18:58Yes, friends.
18:59I hope you have been informed.
19:01I hope this video has taught you or introduced you to new things.
19:04I won't make the video too long.
19:07I have to finish soon.
19:09I'll also take photos from different angles.
19:10We'll be doing different things here too.
19:13There's a frizer here, apparently there's a place called Frizere Mina.
19:17Let's go in there.
19:19Let's see what's happening here.
19:25And then, I guess there's nothing else here.
19:29Yes.
19:32We mentioned that there is a church here.
19:36Yes.
19:38On the right side.
19:42Yes.
19:43The cafe bar is the same way.
19:45Prince.
19:52My phone is getting really hot right now.
19:54It would blow your mind.
19:58Let's not even get started with the video camera or the phone.
20:02Let's not detonate it.
20:04There's a tattoo piercing on the right side.
20:08A tattoo parlor, that is.
20:12The Right Path Turkish Culture and Arts Association is located here.
20:16This is another one of our associations.
20:19Over there it says National Restaurant, National Restaurant Tiffany and so on.
20:23Yes.
20:24In general terms, that's it.
20:26In the necessary additions.
20:28Of course, I will also film the parts I consider important.
20:31I will share this with you in this video.
