It's a very beautiful park. Big and green. Lots of places to relax. I really liked the turtle lake. And of course, suspension bridges. Everything is very well done and reliable. 👍

This is a great place to relax from the crowds of tourists and the sun. It's quite a long way from the center of Istanbul, by bus and tram, but then you can relax in an air-conditioned cafe (please note, they don't accept cash!), see turtles in a pond, and wander along suspension bridges

It's a very beautiful place, with 100,500 times fewer people than in Dolmabahce, no queues at the checkout, you can explore everything, take a quiet walk and enjoy this beauty!

It's a cool, beautiful park. There is a lake with fish, turtles, and interesting cascading bridges across the lake (local wedding photos are taken here). There are plenty of picnic tables. There are playgrounds. The 9-year-old child and my wife and I got high from the walk.

It's a great place, better than Emirgan Park, which is 100 years away from dolphins, even though they were there, they fed the squirrels and smelled the tulips. It's like a small piece of countryside, a river, a waterfall, frogs and seagulls croak, ducks, geese, swans and a heron flounder in the water, parrots and magpies jump through the trees. It's great, just like when I was a kid, to jump and swing on suspension bridges. Take wet cat food, in gratitude they will lie on your lap and purr. As usual in Istanbul parks, you will have to go up and downhill, such a cardio vacation. In the top cheap cafe, you can only eat with cards, they don't take cash, so take the food with you (only later did they find out that you could try to pay with a red pass, but it's not known if this is the case). In general, it is a very pleasant and beautiful park, I did not regret visiting it.

A great place for walking. Forest. Tracks. There is a rope path through the park. Beautiful duck pond. Spending some time here, then going to the shore and taking the ferry to another part of the city is great. There is also a place on the embankment where you can walk and eat delicious fish. So the location is what you need.

I visited the Yildiz Grove — the impressions are the most pleasant. A cozy, green place in the middle of bustling Istanbul, a real oasis of tranquility. Magnificent landscapes, clean air, well—groomed alleys - it's a pleasure to walk here. I really liked how the century-old trees are combined with neat lawns and fountains. There are old buildings in places, which gives a special atmosphere. There are many benches, you can sit quietly, think, enjoy nature. A great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, especially in the morning. Ideal for walks, jogging or picnics. I am glad that I discovered this pearl. I definitely recommend it.

It's a very beautiful park, but the ascents and descents are big , and everything is beautiful, even the view of Chigaran Sarai, the Bosphorus Strait.

It's a very, very large park, it has several entrances, lots of playgrounds for children, lots of seating, you can have a picnic, there are parking spaces, and there's also a coffee shop with good prices inside. There is also a ladder on the tree. The park is not crowded, quiet, and you can practice lessons outdoors.

We came to the tulip festival, and they say everywhere that Yildiz is one of the centers. Don't believe it. On April 16, 26, there is not a single tulip in all the territory. There is a swamp with frogs, bridges over streams and trees

The park made a good impression on me. It turned out to be very big and beautiful. You can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and relax, enjoy the views of the Bosphorus. There is a big plus that there is a cafe in the park, but we couldn't have lunch there because we didn't have a foreign bank card, and only cards are accepted for payment. But we were still satisfied, because after two weeks in the center of Istanbul, we wanted to be in peace and in nature. I recommend it to everyone.

Beautiful, large park, there is a lot to see from the sights. Of the cons, there is only one entrance to a huge park, you need to take a bus or walk 3-4 km. Therefore, you need to study the route in advance.

An amazing park where you can spend the whole day. Beautiful trees, manicured paths, beautiful views and seals. There are many benches with tables in the upper part of the park, several ponds. There are benches throughout the territory where you can relax, because the height differences are significant. I advise you to take a snack and some water with you if you want to explore the whole park.

It's a great place if you've been everywhere in Istanbul before and want to see something else. The park is very green, its only disadvantage is a lot of climbing. We were upset that the palace was closed. You can easily get there by bus. It's a very beautiful park.

It's a very nice and large park. An island of tranquility in bustling Istanbul. You can take a walk for a couple of hours. Grab something to eat and you can have a picnic. There is also a cafe in the park, and you can get food there, but they don't accept cash.

A very cool place!!!! Few people, there are playgrounds, toilets, reservoirs. I am delighted with the suspension road among the trees! I have the most pleasant impressions!!!! It is especially pleasant to relax there from the crowds and queues of the tourist center of the city.By the way, parrots live in the grove, it was interesting to watch them. And a heron was spotted near the reservoir above the suspension road.

The place is not bad, but no one says that the road through the park is always going up. The climbs are steep, and if you add sunny weather to this, it becomes just torture. My advice is this. We don't go up the path from the entrance gate, we immediately turn left. It's well-maintained and the climb doesn't seem so steep. An hour of time behind the eyes and behind the ears, but in general I do not recommend it!

A very peaceful island in Istanbul full of tourists. Nice paths and views. Clean air. Streams and ponds, bridges. Unfortunately, not everything has been repaired yet. And most importantly, there is no access to the Yeldiz Palace and the porcelain factory.

A park for active walks - thanks to the Istanbul slides for the foot load :) The bonus is a wonderful green environment (the ivy-covered trees look very impressive) and an equally wonderful soundtrack from frogs, seagulls and collared parrots.

A small and cozy park, lots of greenery and benches where you can rest after the ascents and descents. You can drive in by car and park right in the park, but this is a paid service. If you want to take a break from the noisy metropolis, then you definitely come here!

We came here after a walk along the Bosphorus. A nice landscaped park. Like the locals, we had a picnic with our lunch. But there is a cafe here too. I was impressed by the old huge trees, the riot of vegetation even in April, the aromas. Steep climbs are great for hiking enthusiasts. There are no tulips, despite the tulip festival season. We did not find a view of the Bosphorus, as they wrote in the reviews. Squirrels, turtles, ducks and friendly local dogs add to the entourage. We originally planned to go to the Emigrant Park, but we made a mistake with the ferry, so we ended up here.

We came across it by chance on the way from Dolmabahce. It's very beautiful, few people, fresh air. If you're full up, you'll get to a social cafe where tea costs only 7 lira, it's cozy, clean and you can have a delicious snack)

A great park and free entrance, which is very pleasing after the prices for admission to museums for foreigners. There is an entrance from the side of the Bosphorus and from the opposite (less convenient). You can enter by car (90 liras for a passenger car, 180 minibus). There are many descents/ascents, as in the whole of Istanbul. The park has playgrounds, lots of benches and just places for picnics. There is a pond and a footpath in the middle.

A very beautiful palace of the rulers of Turkey of the 19th century. The complex consists of many buildings and a huge garden. At the time of the visit, the entrance is free as the palace has just been opened after a long restoration. There is coffee on site, the prices are still inexpensive. It is located in the Besiktas area, we got from Fatih by tram and bus, and sailed back by ferry to Eminonu. A very beautiful place, I recommend you to visit.
