Huge forest area where you can go for long walks, cycle, have fun at the ice rink or enjoy a bite at the cafe. There is a lake inside and sufficient area to park your car. Entrance fee is TL 15.
Does not feel like a hospital - love the fact that there is a car park and it really is very friendly
Very local, crooked tiny streets with a lot of character. Not the area to be if there is a Beşiktaş soccer match - very colourful with heavy drinking, loud and congested
If you are interested in archeology and would like to read about a specific area of Turkey before a trip, no doubt this is the book store you can find special edition books in Istanbul
Typical Turkish cuisine - most of the meat dishes are pretty good. Prices are not that high yet not cheap either. As far as I know they do not serve alcohol
Super friendly, decent quality, good price and super fast. They prepared my prescription glasses in 10 minutes
It is a tiny little chocolate shop at the end of an alley, kind of hidden. They make the best cherry liqueur chocolate. They also have a few tables outside and on the second floor.
Great restaurant specializing in seafood. Prices are mid range yet the food is simply delicious. The view of the Bosphorus Bridge is beyond words. One of my favourite in Arnavutkoy
Very fine Russian dining - delicious food, the portions are not huge, yet the prices are reasonable. Try the borscht soup - delicious
It is a tiny chapel - almost “private” - the few stained glass windows very elaborate. I love it for concerts, especially around Christmas time
The shows are mostly only in Turkish - yet all events/ theatres / shows are top-notch - their standards are high
Incredibly delicious and traditional food - spicey yet great. The prices are also reasonable, best to get a few tapas to sample - the waiters are great with recommendations
So professional and relaxing - great trainers and love the milieu, there is also a great cafe on the premises

It is an art gallery and piano sales show room combined. The bonus is a small concert hall in the basement where they have very private and exquisite concerts. Follow them online www.girginpiyano.com
Delicious Lebanese fast food. I especially like their falafel salad and mint ayran. Relatively inexpensive yet healthy and delicious

İşlemler hızlı hallediliyor, servis son derece güler yüzlü. Beni çok şaşırttı. Bayıldım
My favourite restaurant around Taksim square area. Honestly I think the price to quality is pretty decent. The clientele is quite sophisticated, the decoration is tasteful and the service very fine.
So crowded in the summer - beautiful in the spring and autumn for long walks. The island gas such finesse. Good fish restaurants along the water
It is being refurbished. - usually not open to visitors except for exhibitions
Really well kept - not usually open to visitors - well kept
