As summer comes, parks and forests of Istanbul become more and more beautiful. Emirgan Korusu (Emirgan Grove) is one of the best places in summer time. You can have a great time and see the great nature view. There are many flowers in there. Especially a lot of tulips exist in that park. Also there are 3 historic pavilions where you can visit. These are called white, yellow and pink pavilions. If you are interested, you can buy flower seeds from here too.

You are by the seaside, entertain your life, Balon Cafe

 Today, I would like to inform you about a cafe and restaurant by the seaside in Kadıköy =))

 You also have an opportunity to have group events in this nice restaurant. Although I do not like smoking, there is a good news for smokers. You can smoke in a private area with this magnificent view.

When I entered into the place, I felled relieved because of being the seaside. The cafe has a nice view of Kadıköy ports and Haydarpaşa. You may have some information about these places from the official website of Istanbul The cafe provides you various types of foods, beverages and desserts. Today I decided to have a crepe with chicken and mushroom. It is served in a casserole with grated cheese on it. It was delicious when you have it with a cup of Turkish tea. In addition to this, I also recommend you to have a slice of cheesecake. Chefs have prepared them very well. By discovering this nice cafe, I feel myself better. Now I have added this place into my list and when I want to refresh myself, I will visit and have a cup of coffee.

Have a nice day !!

Atatürk Arboretum

Located in a relatively easily accessible section of the Belgrad Forest near the village of Bahçeköy (about 15 minutes of walking away from the last stop of public buses 42T from Taksim and Beşiktaş.The entrance of the arboretum is 10 minutes walk down that road, on the left.The arboretum, surrounded by a natural oak forest, is planted with many non-native tree species. It is an almost mystic place during hazy autumn days, but is always highly scenic no matter what the season, anyway. There is also a wooden observation tower  offering a view of the surrounding forests and a spectacular sight of Bosphorus which is seen like a turquoise lake from that point.

  That same tower can also be used for birdwatching during autumn, as these hills are on one of the major routes of migratory birds on their way from Europe to Africa. During weekdays arboretum is open to public for a token fee (about 3 TL, which is not always collected), however weekends are exclusively for members.

Belgrade Forest

The Belgrade Forest was once a place only visited by foreigners. In 1956 the first picnic areas were established around the Neşet spring and around the dams, and today there are seven picnic areas, the most popular being the one near the Büyük Bent. The café in the middle of the Bent provides biscuits, toasts, tea and soft drinks. When you are hungry you can either spread the food you brought to the wooden tables or make barbecue. Around Neset spring you can also find alternatives of "Kendin Pişir Kendin Ye" (Cook Yourself, Eat Yourself) for a meat banquet!

Especially during the summer months, Belgrade Forest is a place to go to escape the heat of the concrete jungles. However don't forget there are going to be thousands of other people with the same idea. Once you enter the forest the atmosphere of a different Istanbul will encircle you, first a light and wet coolness than the deep shadows created by the high trees hindering the sunlight.

İstanbul Islands

If you are looking for an Istanbul city break with a difference, or a Turkish island beach holiday with some added excitement then look no further than the Princes' Islands.

Stay in the Karamanyan, a beautifully restored Ottoman house, which has been converted into apartments. Sleeping from 4 to 6 people, these self-catering apartments are conveniently located on Heybeliada, the second largest of the islands. it can work out more costeffective than staying in an Istanbul hotel

Turkey may be one of the UK's top holiday destinations, but Istanbul's Princes' Islands are still well off the beaten track for foreign visitors. Mostly visited only by day trippers from Istanbul, the Princes' Islands are a world apart from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Despite this, they are only 45 minutes by ferry from the historic sites of Istanbul. The Princes' Islands offer a choice of relaxing Turkish beach clubs so you really can have all a holiday combining history and culture with sea, sun sand and relaxation.

Çorlulu Ali Paşa

Çorlulu Ali Pasha Mosque is one of the last representatives of the Ottoman style built between the years 1707 and 1709 and at the same time it is a complex. Çorlulu Ali Pasha Mosque is located in the left coming from theGrand Bazaar to Çemberlitaş and nex to the old Şimkeşhane building. Transportation is easy.

Beyazıt has an magnicifent view. Located at the beginning of the Eminönü, days and nights are always offering quality time.It is a great place to get water-pipe and also traditional Turkish coffee. My suggestion for water-pipe can be Bahrain Apple water-pipe. Tobacco of Bahrain is coming from Arabia and I have to mention that it is not easily be found.

Yeniçeriler Cad. 36, Beyazıt Istanbul

Sade Kahve

Sade Kahve is placed in the Rumelihisarı District which has one of the magnificient view of the Bosphorus. You can try Turkish Coffee in here which is still being boiled on ashes like in traditional way.

Also you can enjoy a rich breakfast menu in here for suitable prices. Eggs scrambled with domatoes and green pepper is very delicious here. They are preparing it in copper stewpots and i think that makes it very delicious.

You can relax in that cute coffee by drinking tea like Turkish people at any time of day.
