    • it is in! SAMATYA
    That's a part of the old city, inside the old city walls, facing the Marmara Sea. Actually Samatya was a small village even before the Istanbul became a city.
    That's quite amazing combination of many things.
    hard to explain in words...

    Check my travelogue on SAMATYA -the place where I live in Istanbul!

    Off The Beaten Path: Yildiz Park

    • Istanbul - Yildiz Park

    • Located between Besiktas and Ortakoy villages, Yildiz Park was the former Imperial Gardens belonging to Royal Family as early as 17th century.

    When entering this park you begin to ask yourself if you are still in Istanbul or it's just a dream. Completly out of typical Istanbul views. Sometimes I get the impression I'm in the middle of a forest! :)

    When Sultan Abdulmecid wanted to distance himself from the rest of the world, he chose the yildiz gardens where he built his palace and encircled it with double walls. So when you want to distance from the rest of the world thats the place to go!
