Hello everyone, I wanted to talk about an underrated location in Istanbul.
Florya is a shopping center unlike anyother, you can easily get there by metro line marmaray, getting off at the Florya aquarium station.
The mall it self is not that big compared to others like mall of Istanbul, but it is not small by any means.
It has a beautiful aquarium inside it that you can currently visit for about 400-800 Turkish Liras depending on the type of ticket.
What is unique about this place and made it one of my favorite spots is the rocky beach. You can go for walks along the shore, or sit down in one of the many many cafes and resturants that are located right by the ocean of different grounds. The view is absolutely gorgeous especially during sunset.
And the resturants are also of very high quality, lots of options for any taste.
Besides the aquarium area, you hardly see tourists at this place which is a shame since it is so beautiful.
I hope you make the time to visit this place if you are planning on going to Isranbul.
