It was an old windmill in huge grounds turned into a restaurant and mini huts selling local delicacies. Love the place yet I think is fairly expensive
It is exquisite. The hotel, the staff and the premises. It’s like mini Phi Phi Islands, highly recommend the hotel. Visited during Covid19 and the precautions were top notch
A trekking track with a spectacular view. Can also go for a picnic - so peaceful and serene
It is a fish restaurant known for its delicious meze and the incredible view of the Bosphorus. Very crowded in the summer which will mean slow service which is ok considering the heavenly view
It is not exactly situated in the most touristy area among hospitals on a very local street, yet the meat dishes which are from the Southeastern part of Turkey are simply delicious and fairly priced
Second hand books, first hand books and great coffee. The clientele is also great.
Really love the stroll, the fish restautants dotted around and the colourful homes. Very busy in the summer and spring, the rest of the year very calm.
It is a roadside sales stand. In the autumn the best pomegranate juice, in the summer the best peaches
Incredible that it is so close to the center of Istanbul yet so rural. It’s great for a walk in nature. There is now a hotel in the village catering to the new airport
I would say the best tennis courts and ambience for tennis in Istanbul, huge grounds
The village is almost like as if it is something from a fairytale. So cute and peaceful. You can buy local produce and nibble on “gözleme” which is Turkish pancakes with vegetable filling
Right next door is a butchers which will serve you their delicious meatballs right there - conveniently priced. Need a car to get there
You pick your meat right from the stand, they will cook it for you, very customized. So delicious & fresh. It’s a no frills, family establishment so don’t expect anything fancy. Just go for the taste.
It is a family establishment, small, cosy yet so friendly , right on the water.You pick your fish fresh from the stand and they will cook it for you - so customized. Delicious and very inexpensive
Delicious seafood, reasonable prices and good service. The bonus is that I saw their kitchen, it is so clean. They have valet service for your car
Could be the most ingenious architecture I have seen for a house of worship. Half of the mosque is under ground in harmony with the topography,
It is like being away from Istanbul. The smell of the sea, the fresh air, the fishermen boats. It is all so serene
Great view, wonderful service, delicious and very reasonable prices. Delicious seafood. Being in operation since 1947, it is quoted in the 100 historical restaurants of Turkey
It is in a historic building. It is free of charge. It is tastefully displayed. It is full of culture. Please visit
Simply the best wraps - love the beef wrap with home made lemonade. The place is tiny yet magical. Express service almost. Trust me what they serve is delicious
It is a huge complex with a private beach, beautiful green, lush grounds, clean and very pleasant staff. What I find incredible is the quality of the food which is excellent for an all inclusive hotel
