İncredible library- open 24x7 - have to register and become a member - free tea and coffee
Once upon a time a church - converted into a mosque - I especially love the shell and tree of life details on the doors
Try the özbek mantı - delicious, great price and the owners are simply wonderful
Best place to buy cheese and please try the toast with melted cheese and their home made frothy ayran
Incredible trafitional soup - 3,5 portions for TL 55. Kindest service and simply delicious
The meatballs are so delicious and so is the yoghurt - the menu only cost TL 42. And the staff are so pleasant
Definitely go for their celepoğlu desert especially if you are a caramel fan like myself and please try the “reyhan şerbeti” with coffee. The setting is an old Greek mansion. Prices are so reasonable
Spectacular view. The food is amazing. Prices are not cheap yet not overpriced either. Service is so friendly. A delight to dine
Great prices, delicious, centrally located, pleasant staff, no frills, very local. What else do you need?
Second dose done - it’s a state hospital yet I’d say they are pretty efficient
Busy, historic and local. Not my favourite taste in terms of the dish, yet deserves a visit. It’s popular with those who favour the taste
I would not say I am too fond of the dessert which is basically cake layered with apricot marmelade and soaked in syrup - yet it’s historic and deserves a visit and a taste
6 km running track, in the middle of one of the busiest cities in Europe is like a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately it’s overcrowded in the summer and over the weekend with BBQ lovers
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
