Bravo Geitones!, 15 July 2005
9/10
Author: rcpjimmy (rcpjimmy@yahoo.com) from Heraklion Creta Greece

I started watching the show out of curiosity and I ended up a fanatic. Great script, great performances, superb directing. The show is a advertisement for both Turkey and Greece. I Give 9/10 and not straight 10 because of the poor Greek Language the actors speak. We had a similar show here in Greece but ours was a drama (with no reason). Yabanci damat changes the spectator's mood. Nazli is unbelievably beautiful and Nikos despite the fact that he is a rookie -I think-(Winner of reality game "Turkiye Academy"????) is doing pretty good. Gongratulations!

P.S. Great soundtrack too!

Good news from our neighbors!!!, 28 July 2005
9/10
Author: Maximus Prime from Greece

Well, this a very good TV series from our neighbor country Turkey. Its a series about romance and love.Very good indeed.Here in Greece we had a similar series but is was a dramatic one (cant understand why Greek writers are stuck on this kind...drama is not always good).To be exact I prefer the Turkish one cause combines lots of good things (characters, script etc) and cause as a curious Greek I'd love to see the Turkish point of view...with this one u can see the common cultural background of modern Greece and Turkey.This TV series was really a good surprise for me.I am addicted neighbors!!!Not forget to mention than Nehri Erdogan is the most beautiful creature on Earth!!I would be happy to see her coming here to Greece!Congratulations!!!Merhaba!

Great!!, 29 January 2005

Author: nihatozsahin from Turkey

It's one of the best TV series of 2005 in Turkey.Nazli;a Turkish girl from Gaziantep doesn't want to marry Kadir(her childhood friend)and run away from home and goes to Bodrum where she will meet Niko who she will fall in love.But there's a huge problem because Niko's Greek.Greeks and Turks do not get along well generally but their big love won't be ruin by this problem and they decide to get marry.Niko comes to Gaziantep and meet with Nazli's family and the comedy starts.The cast of the series are all experienced Turkish actors and actresses except Özgür Çevik(Niko)but he acts like he's an actor for years.They are all very talented.Sumru Yavrucuk(Nazli's mother) Erdal Özyagcilar(Nazli's father) Arif Ekin(Nazli's grandfather) and Binnur Kaya(Nazli's elder sister)are the most funny characters.Probably Anna and Kadir will fall in love and maybe Memik and Niko's grandmother too!!!And also Yabanci Damat will be played at Greek TV channel Mega TV in july.Anyway let's keep watching this beautiful and funny TV show...(I really don't understand why greeks like Nehir so much, she is hundred times uglier than Natalia Doussopoulos!!!)

Yunanistan Turkia, a love story and great entertainment, 7 August 2005
10/10
Author: from Switzerland

This show is excellent !!!! I am Greek living in Geneva, Switzerland and everyday, I get together with my Greek and Turkish friends and we are watching it, while drinking a glass of ouzo or raki. We are having so much fun, we have so many things in common ! Congratulations for the show, maybe it will come out on DVD one day, i ll buy it certainly. I hope that maybe there will be enough inspiration or imagination to make a second season. I also hope that the Greek producers will make also a comedy on the subject and not always the drama stories that they usually do. And by the way I find that Nehir is extremely beautiful, my Turkish friends prefer Natalia though. Iyi gunler neighbors !

WHAT A GREAT FILM - There are lessons in this for all !, 29 December 2006
Author: kidhawaiian from Australia

This is a great series !!! Greeks and Turks whether they like it or not are brothers and sisters.

With some previous comments from past emails, true, politicians are destroying both peoples attitude to each other.

I have satellite TV which gets a lot of foreign channels and me wife who is of Greek/Turkish background and her side can relate and loves it so much.

Where can we listen to the music that is played at each beginning of the show, thinks its very lavish and has a real nice harmonic tune to it.

Hope to hear from some people, Tesekkur / Efxapisto ! :)

cok guzel!, 18 May 2006
9/10
Author: Burc from Istanbul, Turkey

This is an amazing story with a lot of emotion, fun, etc... But the real thing is ... my boyfriend is Greek from Thessaloniki and we leave in different countries. We are together for almost 8,5 months. The DVDs of the episodes are provided weekly with a Greek newspaper in Greece. My boyfriend buys them and brings them to me whenever we meet. We watch them together with the Greek subtitles. The interesting news is that his mother also started watching them (not sure if this good news or not:-)). We find the episodes both entertaining and educating. It really illustrates the similarities between Turkish and Greek societies. Especially after watching them, I personally believe that similarities are more than the differences... There is a lot in it, love, fun, sadness, passion... The soundtrack is really amazing. Acting, directing is really good. I just wish, in our relationship we don't have the same difficulties that they had. I gave it a 9, because it makes me cry sometimes:-)

Simply Great, 13 January 2006
10/10
Author: selmab from Canada

Wonderful story line, great actors, priceless characters. It clearly shows to all the similarities between Greeks and Turks who'd mostly like to think they are different. The ugly side of prejudice, family love, day to day lives of a couple of families with socially different backgrounds that were forced to be joined by marriage and a common grandson are all shown on this sitcom beautifully. The acting is superb, there is not a person that appears on this show that I could claim does not belong. My husband and I anxiously await Friday nights each week to watch it. My husband's father was among the Turks sent out of the Island of Crete many years ago, so he can identify with the Greek family that were forced to leave Istanbu. He enjoys the show from 2 different angles. It is nice to see a situation of this sort under a funnier light as opposed to heavy dramatic flavouring!
