Away from the tourist areas on the European side, I decided to seek the Turkish soul in the beautiful scenery of Bostanci. I lived for some time on different streets always very close to Bagadat Caddesi, in apart-hotels and apartments rented by Airbnb. The last one on Yasmaci Street, where I stayed for 3 weeks, was wonderful!! with its glass walls, offered me every morning and every evening a breathtaking view of the Sea of Marmara and the group of islands (adalar) with the profile of the hills lit up in the distance. I loved every minute I spent in this apartment and felt that my soul was flooded with happiness by the beauty of the landscape that stretched along the coastline of the Sea of Marmara (Sailyolu). Regarding SerdarBey, he was super and very kind person, always available to give information. I hope to come back again, 2023 march. Selamlar Serdar!
