Getting Away From the City: Polonezköy
No matter how beautiful Istanbul is, the hustle and bustle of daily life can sometimes become tiresome. The effort to catch up with things and the rush of life can sometimes overwhelm a person. Escaping the tense atmosphere of the city and taking a breath is not as far away as you might think. It's within your reach to be alone with nature, listening to wild birdsong and surrounded by every shade of green, and take a moment to breathe.
An Address of Peace in Istanbul
Eating in a village atmosphere, taking short walks, having a barbecue or a picnic will do you good. You can visit Polonezköy to make the most of a day trip or your weekends. This warm village, located in Istanbul's Beykoz district and inhabited by Poles, will save you from the city's noise. You can also attend the Cherry Festival if you wish. When you go to Polonezköy, don't forget to visit the Zofia Rızı Memorial House, one of the oldest houses.
