One of the best parks in Istanbul. There is a decent cafe with a beautiful view of the Bosphorus Strait. It is operated by municipality and the prices are quite affordable. The walking trails inside the park take you up the hill with even a better view. Unlike many other parks not crowded. The only downside is walking is harder due to some steep parts. If you want to find a quiet place in the mega city don’t look further.

Nice park to spend the afternoon. There are places for picnics. The view is spectacular and all amenities available. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the waterfalls. Usually they have signs and maps around the park but not in this one.

Great Place to visit, fresh air and Great View on The Bosphorus and the July 15 Martyrs Bridge.
The 15 July Martyrs Bridge is no ordinary bridge. Connecting two continents and carrying nearly 200,000 vehicles a day, it is the most famous landmark of Turkey's largest city, Istanbul. Completed in 1973, the nearly 1.5 km (1 mile) long suspension bridge spans the Bosphorus Strait, connecting Eastern Europe to Western Asia. Though iconic during the day, the lighting on the bridge did not impressively illuminate the structure at night, prompting the Chief Engineering of the 15 July Martyrs Bridge 17th District Office of Highways of the Republic of Turkey to commission a retrofit lighting solution.
