What travelers are saying
- G_filledSouth Pole269 contributionsBeautiful park for refreshing retreat from unrelenting pollution, endless vehicles, unwavering crowds and ceaseless noise.
Be in solitude with nature. Hear your own footsteps rustling the fallen leaves, greet the occasional mortals, salute the endless oak trees and gulp in pure clean air.
This park is a gift, a reprieve for one to standstill and be grateful.
Logistics: train M2 to Haciosman (final stap at the end of the line), bus 42HM to last stop (aka 'terminal), walk to entrance.Written January 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Free entrance. Not really a picnic area but good for hiking. Kids will enjoy the playground at the main entrance. There is a observation deck with an amazing view. Children will love this park especially with the ducks in the pond, birds, different species of small insects and flowers. Better to go in the cool weather as it's a lot of walking. Benches are everywhere so you can sit and rest. Payment for using the toilets. Definitely a place to visit when in Istanbul away from the busy city.Written October 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But what is more is the wonderful nature reserve itself. All sorts of trees and shrubs contribute to making this estate one more green lung of this megacity.Written January 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
