“A beautiful, picturesque bookstore with a wide selection of rare books, including books on art and interior design. There is a small soft corner with teas. Next to the bookstore, there is an atmospheric café with a very pleasant and memorable interior.”

“The art museum grounds feature large installation zones and several buildings. The style is modernist, incorporating innovative technologies. The site was a former factory, reimagined as an art space and museums. Several cafés and restaurants operate on the grounds. It’s a great place to take a walk and immerse yourself in art within a stylish lifestyle environment.”

“A small district, a postcard of Istanbul, on the other shore with unusual, beautiful, brightly colored houses. Some of them have been restored. There is also a street with a very famous bookstore that is a must-visit. Right across from it is a pizzeria serving an incredibly tasty Margherita. Nearby, there is a community garden where locals grow their own vegetables and fruits. You can take a boat to the other side and stroll through this picturesque neighborhood. It leaves an unforgettable impression.”
