We enjoyed everything from the magnificent view to the little shops around town! We stayed about 1 month and created so much memory ! We rented a car so it was easy to get around, but we also walked about 16 min to get to the stores by the Bosphorus. There are shops of all kind, bakery, small corner stores, shoes shop, clothes, and and checking out old style wooden houses was super interesting. Lots street cat and dogs, and some cats live in the garden so this place is for animal loving guests. It worked great for our family of 4. The Pazar was walking distance and it was available twice a week to get fresh produce and clothes. From Iskele ( small port) we went to the Europe side by public transportation ships. The most importantly, the owner responded our request so quick! We enjoyed fully equipped kitchen, the utensils and plates were super high quality. We would definitely come back again !
