SUNDAY: TOWARD TO BLACK SEA

Yeniköy – Sarıyer – Kilyos

If you are looking for a day of escape from the hustle and bustle of central Istanbul, you will find a safe haven in the neighborhoods of Yeniköy, Sarıyer, and Kily os. Yeniköy will entice you with its wooden mansions and their old-world charm. The shores of Sarıy er still retain the feeling of a fishermen’s village and Kilyos is famous for sunsets over its long sandy beaches. Your final day in Istanbul will surely reconnect you with the city’s unique nature, satiate your sense of adventure and pamper you with some self-indulgence.

Over the last seventy years, Istanbul has grown from a city of one million to a city of more than 17 million. Massive urban developments in the everexpanding city centers left a few green sanctuaries for city dwellers, the most notable ones being in the Black Sea provinces of the north.
