1 Day in Istanbul 5 Close Places | European Side
Here are 5 places in Istanbul where you can do 5 different activities during the day!
We all know the heavy traffic map of Istanbul. No matter how annoying this situation may be, you can save time and traffic by choosing places close to each other while making your program. So let's prepare a nice itinerary. Let's start from Ortaköy and finish our journey in Yeniköy.
1- Ortakoy / Kumpirciler
Many kumpir shops will greet you as you enter Ortaköy beach. With a view of the July 15th Martyrs Bridge, before you step on the beach where you can see all the beauties of the Bosphorus, have a nice kumpir in the kumpir shops and sit on the benches on the beach and enjoy the view. If you have taken your photos, let's go back to the cars and continue on our way.
2- Beşiktaş / Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Cemil Topuzlu Park
Beşiktaş, one of the busiest places in Istanbul, also has many parks. Among these parks, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Cemil Topuzlu Park offers you exactly the calmness you want with its size and view. You can take your camping chair and sit or you can lie down and read a book in this beautiful park with a rug, cedar, etc. that you will lay on the grass. Since there is no place to buy tea nearby, you can buy tea from peddlers or you can use the thermos you prepare at home. While the greenery and the view of the Bosphorus relax you, you will inevitably want to go fishing in this view. Then let's get going.
3- Arnavutkoy Beach
Arnavutköy, which has one of the best views you can witness while fishing, draws attention as one of the favorite places for those who love fishing. The people are just as friendly on this beach, which is beautiful at sunrise and sunset. You can chat with the fishermen around you and learn from them the intricacies of fishing that you have never heard of before. (If you are traveling in winter, be sure to take your scarf, hat and gloves with you)
4- Emirgan
Who can say no to taking a walk in Emirgan Park and then having a meal at the cafes on the beach? You can feel the beauty of Istanbul as you walk through the floral grove of Emirgan, which will make you feel good. You can take many photos and collect memories there. When you exit the exit on the beach side, you will be approaching the cafes. Here you can have a good meal and chat with the view.
5- Yenikoy
You can close the day at Yeniköy beach. Here, you can take your ice cream or boza according to the season and sit on a bench on the beach, relieve the tiredness of the day and start your way back.
