Seaside Green Area around Home
If you like walking or running, we have 20 km coast over here with beautiful old town (Hagia Sopiha and Blue Mosque) and Prince Islands view. This area is very popular for all locals around Istanbul to spend time at good weathers and weekends for chilling.
you can also rent scooter or bicycle for very convenient prices.
