There are barely any interesting shops, just regular shops that are everywhere else and prices are same as in Western Europe. Just one paid attraction for kids. Not worthy to spend time. The parking has a sign saying there are thieves active in that area, so I guess it is not safe to park there for a longer period of time. There is Costa Coffee with wonderful baristas, I guess the only positive thing about the shopping mall.

Not that much to do in there at the moment. Has a respectable number of shops , coffee and a few places to eat. Recently opened a new playground and a nice supermarket. It was said that there will be a cinema there soon so definitely curious to see the development.

“Just spent the day at Burgas Plaza Mall! Super chill vibe, tons of shops like H&M and Sport Vision, and grabbed a latte at Starbucks ☕. Kids had a blast at Capella Play. Easy parking, not too crowded, just perfect for a laid-back shopping trip. Def coming back! #BurgasPlaza #LocalVibes”

Unfortunately not a good experience. 1) charged 2 times 1 coffee in the Starbucks 2) Most shops where closed or 'coming soon'... 3) Compass shop: my wife got kicked out around 11:00 because the lady was cleaning the floor (they open at 10:00) she got yelled at after setting 1 foot inside the shop that was open... Service in Bulgaria can be challenging but this one was the queen of the 'I don't want to sell don't bother me attitude' 4) Taxi burgas plaza: avoid if you are not familiar with Burgas, (we live in Sofia) they rip you off with a big smile even when you tell them they are ripping you off... I always use Yellow taxi up so I knew the trip was 8 leva max, but no taxi available... he did not put his meter on and said it was 15 leva, even when we confronted him with the fact we knew he was ripping us off... No need to get violent over 15 leva but it was tempting :-) :-)

Very nice place for shopping. Free parking.

* Open every day from ⏲ 09.00 till 21.00 * Toilets 🚻 are clean * They have a Starbucks&Costa café☕ * They have a MC Donald * Many stores in the mall are closed * A wide big 🚗parking place * They have massage chairs(2.floor) * Security at the entrance asks for a Covid/QR code💉 #Burhaz #ShoppingMall #Bulgaria

Nice mall, but a bit empty and lifeless.

Just a flew slides are good, but the rest not. A really small park with not a lot of activities. Maybe a better place for families. The bracelets they give you at the entrance slide off from your hand easily and get lost. Then you have to pay extra money for the lost bracelet. The "dressing rooms" were horrible and no lockers anywhere. They charged us more for the locker and it was on the other side of the park than the dressing rooms. The locker room smelled so bad that you had to hold your breath when you went in. Also they give you an actual key for it and you have to carry it along everywhere. The whole park was so outdated and poorly made. The slides also give you bruises and it hurts like hell.

Close to the beach and the rest of the main resort. There was no long queuing for the attractions. There were plenty of sun beds available for all guests. It is well catered place with food options for different tastes. Children love it. Highly recommend it.

At the entrance, your bag is checked to make sure you don't have any water or food with you, they just touched the bottom of your bag. The slides were not crowded ( at the end of august), maybe after 2 pm . Prices: entrance 67 leva / adult, Frappe 8 leva, Cola 0.5l 6 leva

Hardly any queues at the slides, so 3 hours is enough to ride them all twice, they really should offer a half day ticket, as the entrance fee is quite steep! Or in the entrance fee maybe include 1 picture, which are taken throughout your visit. Best place for a nap I found stretching out on a double boat alone, nicely out of the water and super comfy with a slight to and from rocking. Online tickets are pointless, as they are same price as at the cash desk, only useful, if you have a coupon, which can only be redeemed online. But keep in mind you have to make a screenshot of the booking number, as they don't sent any confirmation email.

Awesome day,,not very busy, end of season so all restaurants etc closed but ticket price included the use of the all inclusive hotel for the day so had a great massive lunch and free drinks. The water was very cold but soon get used to it 👌

The price is expensive. Unjustified Paying for the locker in cash too Only one or two of the staff at the slides were nice, the rest were not Bad attitude towards the children and yelling at the children unjustly. No professional first aid service No health insurance for injuries Despite the expensive price. If you are a local or speak a local language, they let you bring in food and drinks from outside. The complex needs to be renovated, expanded and improved. Because I visited six years ago, it's the same thing. The cashier was nice Hope the situation will change for the better

Really enjoyed it, 10 year old had lots of fun, went a friday in August, minimal queues, got slightly busier between 2 and 4, food was reasonably priced approx £10 for a burger meal, must try are the corn on the cobs, really healthy snack,

Lovely mall. Clean and nicely air conditioned. Great variety of shops over three floors. Ample underground parking which is free. Always a winner 🏆 Food court not great though. KFC always jammed and very slow. Hessburger busy and slow too. McDonald’s always get the order wrong. Aladdin just cold, badly cooked crap. 💩

Nice modern mall with good balance of international and local / regional brands. Also wide possibilities for refreshments, drinks, coffee and food. I would definitely come back. Surprisingly fast access with public transport bus Б2 so even from the city center it is 15 mins away.

Horrible shopping centre. Every shop I went to the customer service was a negative experience. No-one seems to want to work here with a smile. The only positive is the parking is free. They must have issues with shoplifting etc. as the security are very keen to keep a close eye on shoppers. I would have bought items from a number of outlets but was totally put off by the experience. Particularly in Nike, Zara and worst of the lot Starbucks. In contrast to shops in the centre of Burgas where everyone seemed lovely. I won't be revisiting if I'm ever back in Burgas

During my visit I encountered significant issues with both your staff and facilities. When I approached the information desk for assistance, the staff member was engaged in a personal phone conversation and showed no willingness to help. This is unacceptable behavior for someone whose role is to provide support and information to visitors. Furthermore, upon leaving the mall, the car park was completely blocked. Vehicles were stuck for an extended period of time, and no communication or explanation was provided as to why the delay was occurring or how long it would take. This lack of organization and information caused unnecessary frustration and inconvenience.

We didn’t even manage to enter. Horrible traffic until we reach the mall, there were no free parking lots above so the security guided everybody to the underground parking… which was also full! So we were stuck underground for more than hour with two children-no free parking lots and too much traffic to exit fast! Horrible experience-will never repeat this spot!

Hello I come here With a probem from your store locating in Burgas ( Mall Galleria Burgas ) The iqos island located in mall I was there and I have ask to buy 4 boxes of Terea Turquoise The Young lady sayd is 260 Bgn /leva I payd With card and I have received 4 boxes one bag and a bon / recipe that says 260 leva After I leave and I have seen that in my bank App The sume 360 leva have been taken I Will report this further with The proper authorities

A good place for families especially kids. It has an indoor play area, arcade with Playstation area, bowling and cinema. Very busy in season though. Shops are ok and it has a food court with a fairly good choice. Including Hesburger, McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Pizza, Sushi and traditional Bulgarian food. There is also a gym. The outside car park gets mega busy though so use the inside one 😉

Get in and head to the small cabin Infront of the bungee to buy your tokens. Reasonable prices. Everyone who works here is friendly and the chap on the big bungee is great with the kids they will have a blast. It connects onto the shopping strip which is great for all your clothing bags and so on . You can pretty much spend a night here and in the surrounding area just wandering eating the various street foods and getting your feet nibbled by fish. Be vigilant like anywhere there are pickpockets amongst the crowds so avoid things in back pockets or open top bags. Enjoy

What a great place for family fun full of attractions, fast food stalls, restaurants and little souvenir shops. There are many restaurants with a menu for children offered together with a colouring sheet. If staying in a more distant residence, use a little train (sunny beach train= SBT). It's main point is definitely their Russian wheel 🛞 which serves also as a meeting point. A little piece of advice for parents: don't visit this park (or rather the close street) at the beginning of your holiday stay 😜😁 The adjacent beach is extremely overcrowded even within the first September week (after the school year start). In case you wish to have a calmer spot, find other beacher (Kiko, Cacao).

We visited the amusement park in June and had a great time! The overall atmosphere was fun and enjoyable, especially for the kids – they loved every minute of it. One big plus was that the waiting times weren’t long, which made the experience even better. However, some of the prices for individual attractions felt quite high. For example, throwing balls at cans cost 20 BGN, while bungee jumping was only 10 BGN, and the sparkly bumper cars were 9 BGN. It would be great if the pricing was a bit more balanced. Still, the park offered lots of smiles and good moments – definitely worth a visit if you're nearby!

Pretty decent. If you get the adrenaline package. Gives you cheaper tickets for 4 of the main rides. 49lv worked out at £22. If you visit at around 7pm there's not much for queuing either.

It's a fun place, decent amount of attraction, not too crazy, not expensive.

The drop tower was amazing — super fast and a great thrill, plus really cheap for the experience. The booster was the highlight: very exciting, extremely intense, and definitely worth trying. Prices overall felt quite fair. The only letdown was the roller coaster, which was really mid — shaky and not very extreme compared to the other rides.

Disgusting old place with very outdated ride machines. Scary house - We asked the man and woman owners at the entrance if an 8-year-old girl could go into the scary room, and a they said yes. We bought two tickets, but as soon as the girl opened the door, she started crying. When we asked to return the enterence tickets (chips), they refused. The girl was still crying, and instead of helping, they shouted at us and threatened us and touch us. Don’t go to this dirty place where people lying to get money from you! Shameless people. 🤢

The lines at the slides were really long, but it is what it is, If you want to try the biggest ones you need to wait at least an hour which really exhausting. The paying system is good with the watch what they give you at the entrance, the park itself is really nice. Good staff.

Absolute stunning place 😀 everyone is so friendly, the water resistant wrist bands are a genius idea (you put money on tbem). So safe and sound much to do. The staff there were incredible, we are returning as it was that good 👍

One of the best Aqua Parks I've been in Europe. Fun day for kids in all ages and also for adults. Bars with drinks, ice creams and food almost on every corner. Is not overcrowded even on weekends. We had access to Water Park with our hotel stay, no matter what time we came, haven't been struggling to find a sun lounge. Very safe, any kid, even teenage can not exit without an adult. Security at all gates.

The park was great, so many different slides and quite a lot to do. Also you can't beat the BOGO happy hour from 2pm - 4pm for adults. My only feedback would be that they have a line for people who bout tickets in advance to get in quicker.

What an amazing hotel. It was so clean and well maintained. The pools and poolsides were cleaned every evening ready for the next day, we saw maintenance being done on some loose tiles pool side. Maintenance were on the ball... The Aqua park was spectacular , lots of staff and lifeguards. The slides and play areas and pools were fantastic. Music from the pirate ship was brilliant and kept you entertained with daily games. All inclusive was so easy, your Aqua park wristwatch was your key to everything available. Food, drinks, icecream and park entry at 10am. Security lockers needed paying for, 20 lev but you get half back. Restaurants at the hotel x 3. Fusion, Italian and the normal restaurant for daily use... the restaurant offered a huge range of food and drink at every mealtime. Including wine and beer. The staff all worked so hard to make sure your stay was perfect. Advising them I had allergies when I first arrived they bent over backwards to ensure I had plenty to eat, preparing separate meals for me. We had an amazing time at this hotel and will definitely return again, my grandchildren were never out of the water, the Purple people arranged games, the kids club, sports events, poolside games, quizzes, discos in the evening. There was also entertainment from 9.30pm in the Amphitheatre. We saw some fantastic shows, never the same one twice over 14 days. Children who didn't have siblings, soon found someone to play with. I cannot fault this place, it was definitely worth the money. I can't put everything in here but ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer. 😃

The aqua park was good, although in hindsight we wouldn't go again in full season as was extremely busy... to get on any of the decent rides there was at least an hour's wait which was disappointing...other wise it was very good.. the watch system was a good idea for getting food etc.. watch out for idiots trying to skip the cues.. we saw quite a few.. They were pit in the their place very quickly ...

We enjoyed this aquapark – there’s a great variety of slides in all sizes, and the place is kept nice and clean. On arrival you’re given a bracelet that you top up with money, as cash and cards aren’t accepted inside. It’s a clever system but a bit of a faff, since you have to guess how much you’ll need and then queue at the end to get any unused balance back. One downside is that no food is allowed in the park. Bags are checked, and even our small pack of biscuits was taken away (though returned at the end). It felt a little petty, especially as we’d happily have bought their food anyway. Overall though, it’s a fun and well-run place, and worth a visit if you’re looking for a good day out.

Really nice place, crowded, but it’s a visited/touristic spot thus this was expected. We really liked the streets and arhitecture, we went there everyday to discover something new. Nice to take walks and see the old buildings and ruins. We ignored the shops with souvenirs as they could kind of ruin the vibe. Totally one of the nicest places from the Bulgarian sea side resorts

If you want to visit the old town to see nice and unique architecture and ancient style streets - don't bother. Plenty of tables selling all kinds of cheap colourful plastic stuff... toys hanging everywhere, very crowded... especially if you are visiting with kids - you could not see any architecture.

Old Nessebar is a nice little isle for a sight seeing trip during a holiday at Sunny Beach Bulgaria. Nice historical place with some authentic old architecture and plenty of toerist shops. Also seem to have regular interesting activities during summer.

I did not spend the night in the old town, but I have bought souvenirs from various shops. It is very beautiful, the prices are OK and the personnel was very polite and helpful. It was a worthwhile experience!

Very bad expensive. Refrigerator is not connected to the permanent electricity of the hotel. It is connected to your room key. Means when you are out, the refrigerator doesn't work. The worst hotels in the world don't work like that. The size of WC is tiny: 22x26 cm!!!! It is a torture using the WC. The blankets have no cover and when I asked for that, they simply ignored me. Never again this place. Never.

The whole island a massive tourist trap. We managed to find only two streets that were not flooded with booths selling unrelated crap (Lafufu dools, Pokemon key rings, Brainrot towels). The vendors cover the houses with accessories that have nothing to do with the place. People use loudspeakers to promote their stuff. Some walk up to you trying to sell you some jewelry. My whole family were disgusted. We came for UNESCO sites and we're badly disappointed.

If you are staying nearby a visit to Old Nessebar is a must. We stayed in Sveti Vlas and got the boat over, which was nice too. It's a nice relaxed environment with some great history and nice places to eat too. We went in June and was told it got really busy in July and August, with narrow streets it could get very crowded.

Only ruins remain but is beautiful place to go and enjoy the culture, was quite busy in the area and surrounded with small markets and shops. You don’t need to spend so much time walking around to see everything, there are no restrictions on viewing the ruins and it’s free to view.

I love this old town it is so picturesque. Just lose yourself meandering true the cobble streets and find the old ruins

Absolutely amazing all sides of this ancient city!!!

Free to roam around old town. Within walking distance, you can get across the town. Nice medieval atmosphere around. Recommend to use ChatGPT as tour tour guide to learn more about what you see around you

A bit overcrowded, but a nice place to sit, relax and take a look at some local shops and products!

Simply beautiful, historic and away from the tourists

Beautiful! The ruins are beautifully preserved and you can walk around them nicely. The environment also affects the feeling. It's worth going at night when it's lit up. It's so romantic!

Beautiful and serene water, lots of restaurant options lining the edge nearby!

This is a must place to visit when in Sozopol very quaint and well worth spending a few hours walking around

A wonderful place for a stroll or a lunch/dinner on one of the numerous places located alongside it with a great view towards the sea and the bay both during the day and in the evening.

Nice.If the ticket center is not working there is a phone number to call.

Nice walk along the old town with scenic views of the coastline.

it's really historical architecture to show how ancient of bulgarian defense their territory against outside. located just by seaside and reconstructed several times for a few decades.

Nice places with ancient ruins.

It's worth a look if you're spending a day in Sozopol.

Nice beach, a lot of space for everyone. Clean sand. Life guard really doing her job ;)There's tons of bars and restaurants along the shore.

This beach was quieter the the neighbouring bamboo beach when we were there. Harmanite beach it big & best of all lots of space to put your towel down unlike at Bamboo Beach. They also have a live small bar to enjoy a drink and watch the son go down

There were only a few people, and the waves were as usual – so we really enjoyed it. The price for 2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella was 24 leva. The beach was clean, we found a lot of shells. There was a lifeguard watching the beach, and many restaurants and shops nearby. The water was clean.

Took off one star due to the lack of public toilets on the beach. In general, the beach is long, wide, clean. There are beach umbrellas and sun loungers for an additional charge. On the beach there are points to change clothes, rescue posts, cafes / restaurants. The entrance to the sea is shallow, sand. An ambulance is on duty nearby.

I'd say it is overrated. The beach close to El Tubo is better than this.

This beach is not safe for kids. The sea entrance becomes deep at the beginning. The sand was dirty, no cleaning every day. The price for two people is 24 BGN (12.30 EUR). The restaurants and beach bars are located so near and the noise is huge.

Amazing beach. The sand is fine and clean. The water is somewhat clean. It sometimes has seaweeds floating around but it’s not too bad. There are many great beach bars available at the beach with adequate prices as well as many fast food places. This beach is a 100% better the the other beach in Sozopol.

I paid for 4 people 100 Lev, after you enter there is a beautiful garden to see, this is also the only thing you see besides the outside of the castle, they have been renovating the castle for 3 years now. For a payment of 10 Lev per person you could view 1 room in the castle. Too bad you pay so much for a garden and actually see nothing of the castle,

To be honest, I had some expectations regarding the "age" of this castle. Unfortunately, it is build 30 years ago to promote an abandoned area nearby Sozopol. It is maybe one of the most beautiful castles ever made, the garden is marvellous, and the caffè is just fine.

Very very beautiful from outside! But not sure if it is worth 20€ ticket as there is no museum only otside and garden. But beautiful and worth seeing at peast from outside

I never give a 1 star review. This was on 2nd Sept as part of an organised coach trip. This attraction is not an historical castle with grounds but a 1994 built "artist's fantasy land" and gardens which is rather neglected in so many ways - bluey copper/brass/bronze tinge in old stone work, cloudy and densley populated fish pond, pointless statues, princess dressing up area and caged animals mixed together in crowded conditions. See other people's photos... This attractions adds no value other than confusion, unrelatability and a feeling of "get me out of here". You're greeted by a Knight who encourages you to have a photo with him, where his photographer rather rudely stops you from taking your OWN photos of this "pose", so that you're encouraged to buy theirs... The only upside was a shaded roundel seating area bar and cafe with plush chairs and a cocktail bar style centre piece. Cakes looked good. Good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Either close the place or modernise it with a "relatable purpose".

This castle was somewhat disappointing. Visitors are not allowed inside the main castle building, except for the “Builder’s Room,” which requires an additional fee. Entry to the grounds and underground dinning room costs 40 BGN, with extra charges for all other attractions. The gardens are attractive and pleasant. However, many areas are in need maintenance work. The ponds and fountains need cleaning, the small zoo raises concerns, and the underground dining and ballroom areas are musty and in need of ventilation. Although the site photographs well, it requires significant upkeep to meet expectations.

The place is beautiful but the price is 40 BGN, which is too expensive compared to another similar attractions. Moreover the entrance inside the castle is not allowed. Museum and owner room require additional 10 BGN payment to enter.

I should have read the reviews before visiting. The price you are paying is misleading you only have acces to the garden and a cellar. To see some of the rooms you need to pay extra for each one of them. For me it was not worth to pay extra all that we so was a kitsch mix of medieval, ancient Egypt, christian belives, Italian sculptures, English clock, Japanese garden, with a small zoo. All of this with a gypsy twist.

This could have been the perfect beach: long, with picturesque sand dunes, warm and clear blue water, perfect sand, clean enough, great view. BUT it is extremely noisy, the music is very loud from every existing bar, crowded and expensive. A perfect example of how to ruin a beautiful place.

I tried to go back for a day or two to my childhood and memories. Alas, it's not like that. Overdeveloped territory. Overpopulated. Bonus - there remains this beautiful, clean, azure blue sea.

Just got back from Kavatsite Resort near Sozopol, and honestly, it was pretty disappointing. Here's the real deal: Getting Around: The infrastructure here is seriously lacking. Want to check out Sozopol? You're stuck taking a taxi because there's basically no other way to get there. We're talking about a measly 3.5km ride that'll cost you around 10 euros - that's Western European Uber pricing for what should be a quick local trip! Value for Money: The accommodation prices are just not justified by what you actually get. Most hotels and apartments are overpriced for the level of service and amenities they offer. You're paying premium rates for a mediocre experience. Beach Situation: Don't expect to find many free beach spots - most areas seem to be privatized or require payment. It really felt like every decent stretch of sand had a price tag attached. Bottom Line: This was another letdown from Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, which sadly isn't surprising anymore. If you're looking for good value where your money actually matches the experience, I'd honestly recommend checking out Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, or Turkey instead. These places know how to treat tourists right without breaking the bank. For those willing to spend a bit more, Italy and France rarely disappoint - you get what you pay for and then some. My take: Skip Kavatsite unless you enjoy overpaying for underwhelming experiences. There are way better coastal destinations out there that respect both your wallet and your vacation time. This is the view from my apartment, instead to have a nice small park you get something like a trash yard with trees😏

Wonderful beach! :) Probably one of the best organized beaches on Bulgarian seaside. Wonderful views, clean water, many cafeterias and bars, entertainment facilities and great sand which you cannot find in many places. :( Unfortunately not many free areas. In order to go and feel comfortable you have to pay at least 20 leva (10 euro) per day for umbrella and bed. Always crowdy during summer session.

My favourite place at the BG seaside. I like the fact that the sand is beautiful and the water is unique.

Beach is good, pricess little bit over than normal. One frappe 8 lv not ok.

amazing, great sand and clean water

We went for the night party - it’s quite pricey and crowded for me. The location is good the view from the terrace is amazing. If you want to be part of the party with more laughter music and see the DJ - you should ‘try’ to stay inside the club. ‘Try’ because it’s too crowded with many tables, decor, people shishas and no space for dancing. Overall the place is nice, but I would recommend other bars nearby, for more casual and dancing type of party.

The best house music club in town! The best club in June and early-early July! In high-season you can’t book without contacts in the management.

Great place ! This year party is probably the best on Black sea ! So many normal people having blast till sunrise!

The best beach bar and club on the seaside. Unique experience mixed with amazing sea view, cozy beach, friendly staff, and great music!!!

Read the negative reviews before going so you get an idea of what your experience would be. I regret I didn’t do it. Apparently their last concern is customer satisfaction.

I can say that we were very disappointed from everything. We were celebrating bachelorette party and we made reservation at least 1 month before. We were promised 2 tables as we were 15 girls. Before we got there we wanted to put small decoration like balloons etc. The staff rudely forbid us to do it. When we made the reservation, they requested deposit which was paid and nobody informed us that there will be an entry fee which I think that is important to mention. However, we paid and entered and when we got on our table we were disappointed to find out that we have only one small table for 15 people. It was crowded and some of the girls had no place to stay and they had to sit on the backrest of the sofa. I think that for the entrance you pay you should at least have a personal space where you can breathe and stay... next to us there was a bachelor party and they were positioned the same way without any personal space. When we talked to the manager they asked us if we are coming for the first time so I suppose it is a normal routine for this place. First and last time. :)

The music was completely inadequate, a five year old could've done a better job than DJ Matt May, literally nobody was dancing, people were just standing. The place was so full we could barely breathe, the ventilation was not enough and so on. Worst club going experience ever, by a long shot. Terrible.

It's a nice small museum. There are two rooms with some historical items. But it is free so you can just stop by on your way.

A great little collection of neolithic, ancient greek/roman and ottoman items, ranging from statues to pottery to clothing. If you happen to be around, do stop by as there is no entrance fee.

Nice collection

Muze

Nice place

Very beautiful and nice place. Not the best I've seen in Bulgaria, but it's ok for a light trip

Excellent description of the area and profound explanation of the reason of plant development.

One of the last wild places in Europe, must see!!!

A very small part of Strandzha mountain is in Bulgaria, the bigger part is in Turkey. It is a pleasure to walk here because there are not too many people like in Rila and Put in and in the same time it is much easier. The combination of sea and forest gives something unique to the place

(Translated by Google) This place is great! The road to get there is not easy, but it is worth it!! (Original) Страхотно е това място ! Пътят до там не е лесен но пък си заслужава!!

It's an interesting view and it's cold inside the cave. It’s a nice adventure but I wasn't prepared for the steep climb, which gets narrower as you reach the exit and then you’ll go downhill from there. It is a well-maintained area, so there is paid parking for vehicles and an entrance fee to the cave. Restrooms, cafes and souvenir shops are available. Be careful to reach the cave at night, as the road to the cave is winding and there are no lighting poles. You may have to drive in pitch darkness in many areas.

It is a 3 hour car drive from İstanbul.The cave is well out of crowded or uninhabited areas.Nice scenic drive through the forest on the way to the caves. It is not a must on a sightseeing list but if you have a day with not much to do well worth it.

the entrance to the cave looks like to neptune! middle part is dry and reminicent of mars. entry and exit from elsewhere in a cycle like life! a must see place road is aspalth and parking lots is large entrance 20tl (aduld) has a small local bazar

Amazing, mesmerizing experience…. Cave is really wonderful & greenery around the area are most attractive 🥰

So weird place, but its a great experience. now from November to April only half of the cave is allowed to enter. there are a lot of bats. ticket for students is for 4 lira and for adults 8 lira

Wonderfull cave, you have to see here in your lifetime. There is long and hard forest road to cave. please take a big one trash bag with you. There are a lot of garbage has thrown around.

Worth the time and long way to visit it. Excellent place

Friendly staff. Great service. Went above and beyond. Beautiful property. Food was fantastic.

My friends and i stayed here for 5 nights over Christmas. We had a wonderful time.

Very desolate and quiet. Good for those who want to be in touch with nature.

(Translated by Google) We were very pleased with the clean air, quiet atmosphere and breakfast and hamburger menu. The breakfast menu is rich and very delicious. Especially cheeses and jams.

(Translated by Google) During the breakfast reservation process, we confirmed that we wanted to see the horse farm and ride horses. Bahadır Bey had said that there were ponies and big horses. However, when we went, we were told that there were 'special guests, we cannot take them'. It was really sad to experience such a disappointment after a journey that lasted for hours. I recommend that you take this into consideration when making your plans. (Original) Kahvaltı rezervasyon sürecinde özellikle at çiftliğini görmek ve ata binmek istediğimizi belirterek onaylaştık. Bahadır Bey, Midilli ve büyük atların olduğunu söylemişti. Ancak gittiğimizde 'özel misafirler var, alamayacağız' denildi. Saatler süren bir yolculuktan sonra böyle bir hayal kırıklığı yaşamak gerçekten üzücüydü. Plan yaparken bu durumu göz önünde bulundurmanızı tavsiye ederim.

(Translated by Google) The journey takes a long time, but the friendly, attentive and smiling approach of the staff takes away all your tiredness. Grilled meatballs, sausage and chops are very delicious, we recommend it. (Original) Yol uzun sürüyor ancak personelin samimi, ilgili ve güleryüzlü yaklaşımı tüm yorgunluğunuzu alıyor. Izgara köfte, sucuk ve pirzola çok lezzetli, tavsiye ederiz.

(Translated by Google) I found Palivor Farm by chance while looking for places to visit in Kırklareli on Google Maps. My curiosity grew as I read the comments. My wife and I decided to set off early on a holiday morning. Although it seemed close from Istanbul, the roads were very winding and difficult, especially after the Saray district, because they were single-lane. After a long journey, we reached Palivor Farm and were hungry. We immediately ordered breakfast, and in addition to the standard breakfast spread, they brought jams made from various fruits and vegetables produced in their own garden. I especially loved the hot pepper jam. After filling our stomachs well, we also bought some of the products we liked very much as we left. We would like to thank all the employees of Palivor Farm (Original) Palivor çiftliğini tesadüfen Google haritalar üzerinde Kırklareli’nde gezilecek yerleri bakarken buldum. Yorumları okudukça merakım daha da arttı. Eşimle karar verip bir bayram sabahı erkenden yola çıktık. İstanbul’dan her ne kadar yakın gibi görünse de özellikle saray ilçesinden sonra yollar çok virajlı ve tek şerit olduğu için zorluydu. Uzun bir yolculuğun ardından Palivor çiftliğine ulaştık ve acıkmıştık. Hemen kahvaltı istedik, standart serpme kahvaltının dışında kendi bahçelerinde ürettikleri çeşitli meyve ve sebzelerden yapılan reçeller geldi. Özellikle acı biber reçeline bayıldım. Güzelce karnımızı doyurduktan sonra ayrılırken çok beğendiğimiz ürünlerden de aldık. Tüm Palivor çiftliği çalışanlarına teşekkür ederiz

A great Ottoman historical place of worship ((Masjid). The city/town of Lülebergaz is a great place to visit in Turkey. Friendly people.

Honestly, this is the best restaurant ive ever went to. The waiters are awesome and the food was great! Would definitely visit again. Recommended for everyone.

(Translated by Google) The mosque is absolutely beautiful, the courtyard and entrance of the mosque are very clean, we did not have the opportunity to go inside, the mosque was closed, although it was closed, you could pray in the courtyard, it fascinated us with its beauty, you feel a historical building at that moment, it gave a different taste to praying, it is definitely a mosque that everyone should see and visit. (Original) Camii kesinlikle çok güzel caminin avlusu ve girişi çok temiz, bizim içeriye girme fırsatımız olmadı camii kapalıydı, kapalı olmasına rağmen avluda namaz kılabilirsiniz güzelliğiyle bizi büyüledi, tarihi bir yapıyı o an hissediyorsunuz, namaz kılmakta ayrı bir tat verdi kesinlikle herkesin görmesi gitmesi gereken bir camii.

(Translated by Google) I had never heard of such a beautiful mosque before, we saw it today when we had a lunch break in Burgaz. The mosque complex is really big and the small shops around it create a very nice atmosphere. Kubbealtı tea houses, soup shops... there are places to park your car very close by, if you can't find them there are parking lots. I think it is a mosque to be visited and seen, but it is also worth a visit for tourists. (Original) Böyle güzel bi camiden daha önce haberim yoktu, bugün tesadüfen Burgaz'da yemek molası verince gördük. Camii külliyesi gerçekten büyük ve etrafında konumlanmış küçük dükkanlar çok hoş bir atmosfer yaratmış. Kubbealtı çay ocakları, çorbacılar.. çok yakın yerlerde araba park edecek yerler var, bulamazsanız da otoparklar var. Gezilip görülmesi bi camii bence ancak turist yabancısı da

(Translated by Google) Sokullu Mehmed Pasha probably started the construction of the complex in the early 1560s, when he had reached the peak of his profession. Documents such as inscriptions and foundation deeds, as well as the style features in architecture and decoration, indicate that the complex was completed in 1569 and at the latest in the early 1570s. The design and construction of the complex were carried out by the chief architect of the period, Sinan, and his Imperial Architects' Guild. It can be said that Sinan designed a range complex in line with Sokullu's wishes as a result of the dialogues he is thought to have established with the benefactors. In this context, Sokullu did not want to see Lüleburgaz only as a range, and made incentive initiatives to encourage people from the surrounding area to come and settle, such as a madrasah, primary school, water supply and various structures that would contribute to its becoming a center of attraction. The backbone of the complex is the arasta, which consists of fifty-nine shops and a prayer dome built on both sides of the road through which the historical Istanbul-Edirne-Central Europe route passes. The mosque, madrasah and primary school are located to the south of the arasta, while the caravanserai, soup kitchen and tabhane are located to the north. According to the design, the double bathhouse is to the east, the houses built for some personnel and the fountain are to the west, and the bridge is further away on the stream again to the west. In terms of architecture, the prayer dome connects the north and south block structures. Thus, the complex was built with an extremely functional and logical project. In this respect, the symmetry, proportion and rhythm relationship in the complex, which falls into the group of geometric complexes, are remarkable in terms of material, technique and workmanship. The horizontal and vertical emphasis in the structures, the use of a common courtyard and a double narthex and the prayer dome scheme are typical features identified with Sinan. The work does not reflect the appearance and identity of a provincial complex, but rather shows similarities with the works of Istanbul. The mosque, madrasah and primary school of the structures that make up the complex form a whole. The plan of the mosque reflects the variations within itself of single-space mosques. The place of worship is covered with a dome. In the north, a large-sized inner courtyard with a fountain in the center stands out with a double narthex. The single-balcony minaret in the northwest emphasizes the structure vertically. The structure, which is the largest mosque in the city today, is well-maintained and in good condition with repairs. The hazire in the south was recently removed and the sundial has also been lost. There is a room for the imams at each corner where the courtyard and the narthex intersect. The outer structure of the fountain in the center of the courtyard, which is entered by a door from each of the three directions, does not conform to the general scheme. The inscription was renewed during the reign of Mahmud II. The madrasah consists of the main classroom room, student and staff rooms and toilets placed on three sides of the courtyard except the south. The structure, which is in good condition, is used for various purposes today. The primary school built to the south of the mosque is a single-room and covered with a dome. The basement of the Fevkani building was actually the water distribution network of the complex. The large number of shops next to and around the building shows the busyness of the road and the commercial wealth of the region. The large building mass where the caravanserai, soup kitchen and boarding house were located was accessed from the arasta through a portal with a construction inscription on it. Only the entrance door, the attendant's room next to it and some chimneys and niches belonging to the stables have survived to our time from the caravanserai, which was demolished by the mayor of the period in 1935. Today, there is a parking lot and a road in the place of the soup kitchen, soup kitchen and inner courtyard, which have been completely destroyed. In summary: Lüleburgaz Sokullu Mehmet Pasha Complex, It is spread over a wide area at the entrance of Lüleburgaz district. The complex, which was built in 1569-1570 (H.977) for worship, trade and education purposes, has the characteristics of a complex with its mosque, arched shops, inn, bath and madrasah. However, the complex, which has been subject to various damages, today presents the appearance of a completely independent structure. (Original) Sokullu Mehmed Paşa, külliyenin yapımını büyük ihtimalle mesleğinde zirveye ulaştığı 1560’lı yılların başında başlatmıştır. Kitâbe, vakfiye gibi belgelerle mimari ve bezemedeki üslûp özellikleri külliyenin 1569’da ve en geç 1570’li yılların başlarında tamamlandığına işaret eder. Külliyenin tasarımını ve inşasını dönemin başmimarı Sinan ve ona bağlı Hassa Mimarları Ocağı gerçekleştirmiştir. Sinan’ın bânilerle kurduğu düşünülen diyaloglar sonucu Sokullu’nun istekleri doğrultusunda bir menzil külliyesi tasarladığı söylenebilir. Bu bağlamda Sokullu, Lüleburgaz’ı sadece bir menzil olarak görmek istememiş, cazibe merkezi olmasına katkı sağlayacak medrese, sıbyan mektebi, su getirtme ve çeşitli yapılarla insanların çevreden gelip yerleşmesini sağlayacak özendirici girişimlerde bulunmuştur. İçinden tarihî İstanbul-Edirne-Orta Avrupa güzergâhının geçtiği yolun iki tarafına inşa edilen elli dokuz dükkânla dua kubbesinden meydana gelen arasta külliyenin omurgasını oluşturur. Arastanın güneyinde cami, medrese ve sıbyan mektebi, kuzeyinde kervansaray, imaret ve tabhâne yer alır. Tasarıma göre çifte hamam doğuda, bazı personel için yapılan evler ve çeşme batıda, köprü ise daha uzak noktada yine batıda akarsu üzerindedir. Mimari açıdan dua kubbesi kuzey ve güney blok yapılarını birbirine bağlar. Böylece külliye son derece işlevsel ve mantıksal bir projeyle yapılmıştır. Bu yönüyle geometrik külliyeler grubuna giren külliyede simetri, oran, ritim ilişkisiyle malzeme, teknik ve işçilik dikkat çekicidir. Yapılardaki yatay ve dikey vurgular, ortak avlu ve çift son cemaat yeri kullanımı ile dua kubbesi şeması Sinan ile özdeşleşen tipik özelliklerdir. Eser bir taşra külliyesi görünümü ve kimliğini yansıtmayıp daha çok İstanbul eserleriyle benzerlikler gösterir. Külliyeyi oluşturan yapılardan cami, medrese ve sıbyan mektebi bir bütünlük oluşturur. Caminin planı tek mekânlı camilerin kendi içindeki çeşitlemesini yansıtır. İbadet mekânı kubbeyle örtülüdür. Kuzeyinde çift son cemaat yeriyle büyük boyutlu ve merkezinde şadırvanın yer aldığı revaklı bir iç avlu göze çarpar. Kuzeybatıdaki tek şerefeli minare yapıya dikey doğrultuda vurgu yapar. Günümüzde şehrin en büyük camisi olan yapı onarımlarla bakımlı ve iyi durumdadır. Güneyinde bulunan hazîresi yakın tarihte ortadan kaldırılmış, güneş saati de kaybolmuştur. Avlu ile son cemaat yerinin kesiştiği iki köşede imamlar için birer oda yer alır. Üç yönden birer kapıyla girilen avlunun merkezindeki şadırvanın dış kuruluşu genel şemaya uymaz. Kitâbe II. Mahmud döneminde yenilenmiştir. Medrese avlunun güney hariç üç yönüne yerleştirilen ana dershane odası, öğrenci ve görevli odaları ile helâlardan oluşur. İyi durumdaki yapı günümüzde çeşitli amaçlar için kullanılmaktadır. Caminin güneyine inşa edilen sıbyan mektebi tek mekânlı olup üzeri kubbeyle örtülüdür. Fevkanî yapının bodrum katı aslında külliyenin su dağıtım şebekesiydi. Yapının yanında ve etrafında ki Dükkân sayısının çokluğu yolun işlek oluşunu ve bölgenin ticarî zenginliğini gösterir. Arastadan üzerinde inşa kitâbesinin de yer aldığı taçkapısıyla kervansaray, imaret ve tabhânenin bulunduğu büyük yapı kütlesine geçilirdi. 1935’te dönemin belediye başkanı tarafından yıktırılan kervansaraydan sadece giriş kapısı, yanındaki görevli odası ile ahırlara ait bazı baca ve nişler zamanımıza ulaşabilmiştir. Tamamıyla ortadan kalkan imaret, tabhâne ve iç avlunun yerinde bugün otopark ve yol vardır. Özetle: Lüleburgaz Sokullu Mehmet Paşa Külliyesi , Lüleburgaz ilçe girişinde geniş bir sahaya yayılmıştır.1569-1570 (H.977) yıllarında ibadet, ticaret ve eğitim amaçlı yapılan külliye; cami, kemerli dükkanları, hanı, hamamı, medresesi ile bir kompleks özelliği göstermektedir. Ancak çeşitli tahribatlara maruz kalan külliye, bugün tamamen bağımsız birer yapı görünümü sunmaktadır.

(Translated by Google) I can't describe the beauty of this mosque. It's not just a mosque, it's a big complex. Every corner is full of art. There's free parking in front. Definitely stop by. (Original) Bu caminin güzelliğini anlatamam. Zaten sadece camii değil büyük bir külliye. Her köşesi sanat dolu. Önünde ücretsiz otopark var. Mutlaka uğrayın.

Amazing place and an amazing experience. The venue is very spacious and really peaceful. There’s a big beautiful garden overlooking the sea. The vineyard is also right in front of you. The rooms are also very beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Very high quality experience overall. You can drink as much vine as you want, accompanied by cheese plates. The food was also very tasty and the portions were really big. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. It is a pet and kid friendly place. However, I think it is best for couples or group of friends. They also give you a tour of the facilities, the manager was a very friendly, pleasant and knowledgable person who helped us out with the vine selection and provided us with lots of useful insights. Definitely worth a visit.

We stayed one night at Barbare Vineyards and overall had a nice experience. The food was delicious and served in very generous portions, we were already full before the main dish arrived. They were also very accommodating and kindly switched the main dish to a vegetarian option at the last minute, which we really appreciated. The wine tasting and tour was good as well. Considering the package included three meals, two bottles of wine, and two wine tastings (one with the tour one at dinner), the price–performance ratio was outstanding. The only downside was the noise from other guests’ children. A place like this would benefit from either an age limit or at least stricter rules around quiet hours. Unfortunately, kids were playing and screaming loudly right outside the rooms between 11 PM and 1:30 AM, making it impossible to sleep. Despite politely warning them twice, the situation didn’t improve, and their parents were nowhere to be seen. While I don’t understand why guests would bring children and let them roam unsupervised, I also feel the staff could have intervened to ensure a more peaceful environment at night.

Very nice winery! We had a great tasting experience. All wines were great! We took the 6 wines tasting and accompaniment with chese and dry meat. All amasing! The winery is located on a spectacular hill with grapes running down. Recommended tp everyone! Bought som great wine at great price!

Excellent wines and hospitality, great view.. Thanks for all, including the owner, manager Dilek Hn, all service personnel, including Mehmet bey. We really enjoyed our stay as the whole KAL group.

We had a wonderful stay for 1 night at Barbare. The room was cozy and comfortable and we had a great view of the sea and vineyard, and the food was wonderful. What really made the stay so great though was the staff. They were very kind and accommodating and helpful. Despite us arriving late and missing the set times for the wine tasting, they did an after hours wine tasting for us and were so nice. Would definitely come back again, either for a night's stay or even just a day excursion to enjoy the views, wine and good conversation with the staff.

Good wine, good setting, good people. Try catching a time rather calmer. Start with the rose at sunset and enjoy the dinner with elegance. B&B is very descent as well.

Fantastic view! Quiet and elegant atmosphere. Loved it 😍

Large shopping mall, plenty of choice, Carrefour grocery on ground level. Food court available. A bit stuffy atmosphere inside

Very pleasant mall to shop thanks to the ‘open architecture’. However in recent years just like in every big city in Turkey: at the entrance you will find refugee and gypsy kids doing things kids should never be allowed to do and no one bats an eye.

Location. Completely wrong. Should have been outside the center. All the roads are jammed. Parking : available. Options : more than enough. Price: as usual

Good selection of stores , not crowded, convenient parking with EV charging spots

Very good place in the city center, many shops, with a huge selection of equipment, clothes, shoes, household goods. On the 1st floor there is a large supermarket "Carrefour", there is a cafe, restaurant and many places for fast food. On the street in front of the mall you can take a taxi, safely and at a good price. The staff is very friendly.

There are plenty of shops ,mostly Turkish trade marks ,good quality, variety enough for everybody. Great dinner floor on the last floor. And there is Carrefour on the ground . Very good Mall.

Good shoping place. Low price due to lira loss of value. Big supermarket on the ground floor. Last floor there is a lot of restorants with good meal!

Super

Normal

(Translated by Google) Disabled access possible. Parking is sufficient. The advantage is that it is on the upper floor of the shopping mall and there is a cafe on the lower floor. Music and sound system are average. Seating arrangement is cramped. Still, it deserves 4 stars. (Original) Engelli erişimi mümkün. Otopark yeterli. AVM üst katında olması ve bir alt katında cafe olması artısı. Müzik ve ses düzeni ortalama. Oturma düzeni sıkışık. Yine de ,4 yıldızı hakediyor.

(Translated by Google) I think it deserves five stars.

There is a cafeteria on the floor with the game room and food and beverages are available. The children's playground is currently 15 TL and there is no time limit. In addition, pinball, toy cars for children, airplanes, game machines, etc. there is. Bowling area available. There is an elevator, disabled people, elderly people and strollers can use it. No parking problem. What more could you ask for? (Original) Bence beş yıldızı hakediyor.

Bowling alanı mevcut. Asansör var, sakatlar ,yaşlılar ve çocuk arabası binebilir. Park sorunu yok Daha ne olsun.

It is a rather small and old shopping mall but still got hundreds of customers every day. Did not changed its appearance for years. It has become the eye of Corlu.

The center has plenty of stores, there is parking but barely anyone speaks English so it's not very convenient for tourists. We chose Burger king with hopes the staff would understand bare minimum of English, to no avail. After trying to use gestures to point at the menu we gave up as the lady at the tills just started speaking Turkish and laughing at us.

Let the management of the Orion Corlu shopping center pay particular attention, as some companies located on the ground floor of the shopping center and operating with mobile phone repairs, do not issue receipts for their services, nor do they accept returns of products they sell, even within 15 days, based on international legislation that protects consumers and which of course also applies in Turkey.

You can come to this mall for cinema, technology store and clothes. However, since the dining area is narrow, it gets crowded. There is no shortage of parking. In addition, there are two more shopping centers located near this place.

You'll get anything here you'll need. It's nothing authentic or original considering the Turkish culture, but anything you can get in nearly any other mall around the globe... it's appealing and friendly, bathrooms are very clean (and free of charge ;-) The cell-phone services on the ground floor are very helpful. Especially the gentleman towards the West side!

This place is nice with abundance of everything and environment is fine so many sales are there during my visit tenure here media market,mad perfumes,aqua de polo,defecto....are my favorite places in their

A regular shopping mall in the small town of Corlu. If you are a foreign visitor in Corlu and have nothing else to do, then you can walk around this mall. There is a super market inside and is useful to buy some essential stuff. Have many food choices, but no one speaks English. We need to go by pictures and signs to choose and order food.

Barel Winery: For People Who Want to Say They Went to a Winery (But Really Didn’t) If you’re looking for an authentic winery experience—complete with vineyards, knowledgeable staff, and a deep dive into the art of winemaking—keep driving. Barel Winery is far from being a real winery. Instead, it’s an overpriced restaurant with a wine list, perfect for those who want to snap a picture and tell their friends they “visited a winery” without actually doing so. The ambiance? Nice enough. The prices? High enough to make you wonder if you accidentally bought the vineyard itself. The experience? More “fine dining with a wine theme” than an actual winery visit. If you’re genuinely interested in wine—how it’s made, how it tastes at different stages, or even just a decent tasting experience—do yourself a favor and go to Badur or Chateau Nuzun instead. Barel might be the perfect spot if your goal is to impress your Instagram followers. But if you want a real winery experience? Look elsewhere.

Extremely bad service, rude employees, no quality food, expensive and no worthy. Never visit this place

Never ever!!! Visiting once is enough for me. Bad service, forgotten orders, low taste wines, rude employee, even reservation we had to wait 10 min. and harassed by them. Strongly NOT recommended...

Not good. Especially service and management.

(Translated by Google) On our way to Çanakkale, we called and stopped by, saying we wanted to do a tasting. Ideal to escape from Istanbul and spend time on the weekend. It is a place where you can have a good time sipping your wine in the vineyard. The wines are generally delicious, you have the chance to try them all with the tasting set. We didn't eat but we'd like to visit again and try it. (Original) Çanakkale tarafına giderken arayıp tadım yapmak istediğimizi belirterek yoldan uğradık. Hafta sonu İstanbul’dan kaçıp vakit geçirmek için ideal. Bağ içinde şarabınızı yudumlayarak güzel vakit geçirilebileceğiniz bir yer. Şaraplar genel olarak lezzetli, tadım seti ile hepsini deneme şansınız var. Yemek yemedik ama tekrar ziyaret edip denemek isteriz.

(Translated by Google) Nice atmospheric place. Beautiful area. Prices are slightly lower than average in Istanbul restaurants. Lots of reviews about bad service, but it wasn't bad. The food isn't amazing, but it wasn't bad at all. Worth a visit (Original) Приятное атмосферное место. Красивая местность. Цены чуть ниже чем в среднем в ресторанах Стамбула. Много отзывов про плохой сервис, но это не было плохо. Кухня не потрясающая, но было совсем не плохо. Стоит посещения

(Translated by Google) If you are looking for the vineyard house, do not panic 😅 it stays inside for a while. We saw the signs but we were afraid if we came wrong 😂. You turn from the signs, drive a long way, and then park your car. Afterwards, you continue on foot and reach the Barel Bağ house. The walking part is nice. The vineyard house only becomes visible in the area where you park the car 😂. Until then, despite all the signs, you're going there thinking you're definitely lost. The food, the atmosphere is good, there are some nice wines. Actually, the environment is very good. It is a must to come again in the spring. (Original) Bağ evini arıyorsanız paniklemeyin 😅 o biraz içerde kalıyor. Biz tabelaları gördük ama yanlış mı geldik diye korktuk 😂. Tabelalardan dönüp, baya ilerleyip, sonra arabanızı park ediyorsunuz. Sonrasında da yayan devam edip, Barel Bağ evine ulaşıyorsunuz 😅 yürüyüş kısmı güzel . Bağ evi anca arabayı park ettiğiniz alanda belli olmaya başlıyor 😂. O zamana kadar , onca tabelaya rağmen kesin kaybolduk düşüncesiyle gidiyorsun . Yemekler, ortam iyi, şaraplardan güzel olanlar var. Ya aslında ortam çok aşırı iyi.. baharda tekrar gelmek şart.

There are sunbeds but most of them are not usable. The sand is full of cigarettes. The sea is not deep but there is a lot of algae. The food they sell is sandwiches and burgers which are not worth the price. The iced coffee tastes bad. Overall, it is a good place but needs a lot of improvement.

entry fee was 120 TL, sunbeds were free, feels like an industrial area with all the boats jn the distance. Problem is with the water: it was full of seaweed-like stuff, loads of jellyfish, plastic, even cigarettes.

On the first glance, we were happy to see that beautiful view. But when you come closer, you can see a lot of trash in the sand. The sea is covered with seaweed and we didn't want to swim here. For sunbathing or relaxing, ok, just take spare blankets for cover because parasols are tricky. Entrance: 120 TRY

Great natural spot.🌊 Poorly maintained. 🚬 Sea is full of sea weed. 🍃 Food quality can be better.🌭 This place has potential to one of the prime hotspots. 🏖️

Great for: Family, Couples, Sunset Views, Photography, Relaxing Walks Florya Beach is one of the hidden gems of Istanbul, offering a peaceful escape from the city's fast pace. With its clean shoreline, relaxing walking paths, and panoramic views of the Marmara Sea, this spot is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy nature without going far from the city center. 🏖️ Beach & Environment: The beach area is well-maintained with soft sand and crystal-clear water (especially during summer months). It's a great place to sunbathe, have a picnic, or just sit and enjoy the calming sound of the waves. 🌅 Sunset Spot: This is one of the BEST places in Istanbul to watch the sunset. The golden hour over the sea is magical — perfect for romantic walks or stunning Instagram photos. 🚶‍♂️ Walking & Cycling Paths: There are long coastal walkways and bicycle paths surrounded by green areas. It's a safe and quiet place for families, joggers, and nature lovers. 🍔 Nearby Cafés & Restaurants: You’ll find plenty of places nearby for tea, coffee, or a meal with a sea view. Many locals enjoy their weekends here because of the relaxing vibes and easy access. 🚗 Transportation & Access: Florya is easily reachable via Marmaray or Metrobus. There is also public parking available nearby. 🧽 Cleanliness & Safety: The beach and surrounding park area are usually very clean and well-patrolled, making it suitable for families with kids. 💬 Final Review: If you're in Istanbul and need a calm, beautiful place by the sea, Florya Beach is the perfect getaway. Highly recommended for a day of peace, nature, and unforgettable sunsets. 💙🌊🌅

It’s crowded!! I recommend to go during the weekends and arrive early to reserve a tan bed. The water has a lot of algae not the best but it’s convenient for tanning . The price for this year is 120₺ and you can pay with Istanbul card. It is located near Marmaray Florya metro station walking distance of 5mins

I think it's very nice in the summer, but unfortunately it's closed now, which is a shame. You can only walk along the beach on the way to the shopping center and the outlet.

We did a cruise on the Bosphorus Strait which separates Istanbul into 2 continents, Asia and Europe. There are some very nice sites along the shore including the last Palace of the Sultans.

The Bosphorus Bridge (15 July Martyrs Bridge) is truly one of the most beautiful suspension bridges in the world. Its stunning design, breathtaking views of Istanbul, and impressive structure make it a must-see landmark for anyone visiting the city.

I visited Istanbul in 2022 and took a ferry across the Bosphorus for a very affordable price to go to Kadiköy for my cousin’s wedding dress. It was such a nice moment,the view was stunning and there was even a singer performing ,making the trip even more enjoyable. There are also dinner cruises with live shows on the Bosphorus,definitely something I’ll try next Time !

When it comes to experiencing Istanbul’s enchanting charm, few activities can rival a sunset cruise on the Bosphorus. On my recent trip, I had the pleasure of booking this incredible journey through the Istanbul E-pass, which included authentic Turkish snacks. It turned out to be a perfect blend of breathtaking views, delicious treats, and unforgettable moments.Planning a sunset cruise on the Bosphorus was hassle-free, thanks to the Istanbul E-pass. The iconic landmarks of Istanbul, the Dolmabahçe Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, and the Bosphorus Bridge looked even more majestic under the warm evening light. The cruise offered panoramic views of both the European and Asian sides of the city, giving a unique perspective of Istanbul’s duality. What made this cruise stand out wasn’t just the views or the snacks, it was the overall vibe. One particularly unforgettable moment was standing at the edge of the boat, feeling the wind on my face as I admired the glittering skyline. It was a moment of pure bliss and connection with the city. The Istanbul Bosphorus sunset cruise was a highlight of my trip, offering an evening filled with beauty, culture, and enjoyment. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this cruise is a must-do to experience the soul of Istanbul.

A must visit if you are in Istanbul. Incredible view. Bosphorus divided Turkey into Europe and Asia sides. Must take a luxury yacht ride. It is very affordable but not lacking the luxury

The Bosphorus, also known as the Strait of Istanbul, is a natural waterway in Turkey that separates Europe and Asia. It connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and serves as a critical passage for international maritime trade. We took a cruise along the Bosphorus and were captivated by the breathtaking views. The blend of historic sites and contemporary architecture was truly mesmerizing. The experience of sailing between two continents was unforgettable, making the Bosphorus a must-see destination for any visitor to Istanbul.

Had a beautiful experience in the Bosphorus area and cruising through it. We did the cruise in the evening time from when it was bright under the sun till it got dark and the shades changed into night lights. Would definitely recommend, both sides of the Bosphorus have lots of iconic monuments and views to watch out for.

Forum Istanbul Mall is one of my go-to spots for shopping and dining. The variety of stores is fantastic, and I always find what I’m looking for, whether it’s fashion, electronics, or more. The restaurants are top-notch, offering a range of high-quality food options that never disappoint. The mall itself is spacious, clean, and well-organized, making every visit a pleasant experience. It’s definitely a top choice for a great day out in the city!

A spacious and calm mall with a great selection of both local and international brands. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a pleasant place to shop and explore. I visited in January, so the video includes holiday decorations.

Forum at BeramPasha is not just a mall but the children fun place a nice full of warmth food place with all American brands and hot coffees, Cinemas and IKEA inside. A must place to visit

One of the finest malls with a collection of Turkish and other International brands.I enjoyed shopping. I didn’t find any outlet store here. But the shopping was exclusive and quality.

Good if you are looking for well known brands, prices are the same as in Europe, don't expect to pay less than in your home country.

My kids and I like it! There are different brands; clothes, shoes and even well-known restaurants and coffee. The lego land and sea life are great to enjoy with your kids. There is a food court but we prefer to eat in IKEA as it is so close, 2 minutes walking.

What I really appreciate about this mall is the light. The architecture allows for natural light to pass most of the day, which makes (me) for a good time strolling around. Food is good, many good stores, entrance is impressive and you almost go directly inside from the metro station. Sealife aquarium is also there and it's a great place to visit with kids.

Sadly when we went not all sectors where open but still we had a lot of fun. It wasn't very crowded and we took a lot of pics of cool fish in colorful aquariums. They also sell some cute souvenirs at the end with pirate hats and hooks etc ...

I was quite disappointed as the full aquarium was 'under construction'. Everything else was good enough, but we were really looking forward to seeing the sharks! And somehow, we still paid the full price for 1/2 of the collection! Also, be careful as everything is purposefully created to leech as much money off of you - especially the pictures at the end of the aquarium.

Nice and impressive place, too bad the big aquarium was not working and we paid the whole ticket - the experience was somehow not complete. Don't be fooled by the photos at the top of the aquarium, they are nice but extremely expensive!

A great spot for kids. Not as many varieties of animals that I expected, but still a lot. The place is huge, and they have a lot of places to swim around. There are sharks, sepia, giant tortoise, a big hall and tunnels, even benches along the way, so you can sit and enjoy the view. I definitely recommend buying tickets in advance for not only it is cheaper, but you won't have to wait in lines. Service is very kind, and in the end, there is a cute store with funny merch :)) Very good strategy.

The whole aquarium is worth visiting once. Especially the big hall where the giant turtle is there has a relaxing atmosphere. It's really entertaining for the kids. A small playground, lego is great for them. But in my mind, the price is a bit high.

The selection of fish is great. They also have a nice tunnel that goes right through the big tank, but the number of fish in it was quite low. I guess it's an advantage for them because they have a lot of space to roam around. The other tanks were much better. I think this is the aquarium where I've seen the most clown fish in a single tank. I recommend going here, even though it was quite far from the city center. It was also quiet and there weren't too many visitors.

One of the best aquariums that I've been to. Each area of the aquarium as a theme, there's a ton of little stations for little explorers (it's a great place for kids) and a plethora of amazing tid bits of information about the fish in each of the tanks. There are bathrooms in the aquarium so you don't have to worry if someone needs to go. This place also has the longest underwater tunnel in all of Europe. It's really cool to see the stingrays and sharks swimming over top of you. Definitely a great was to spend an afternoon. Without a doubt it's a great experience.

Great experience for everybody, adults and kids. Nice displays and aquariums. Also the South Pole setup with penguins and the tropical forest with Piranhas. Good for a day with rainy weather or a very hot summer day.

Visited with my two children and it was a great experience. My son really loved the interactive ship wreck section, and we all loved the Amazon rainforest forest section. The different sections at the aquarium educated on the various fish found around Türkiye region, which was very interesting. Also loved some of the history / folklore included, like Hercules and the statue of Poseidon. We also did the VR underwater movie experience which was educational and experiential.

A really beautiful place to visit, especially on a rainy day — my warm recommendation! It’s very easy to reach by public transport, as the metro goes directly there without any transfers. In the aquarium, besides seeing many different species of fish and a few animals from the tropical rainforest, you can also learn a lot about history and many other interesting and educational facts. The whole environment is stunning — you can really tell how much effort they put into the aesthetic and design. In addition to exploring the aquarium itself, they also offer an exhibition called “Giants of the Sea” and a VR experience. To be honest, the “Giants of the Sea” exhibition was a bit disappointing — I expected a bit more. There are only four animals on display, and the space is quite small, so you don’t get the chance to learn much about them. It would be great if they developed that part a bit further. The VR experience didn’t impress me too much either, and the line was very long, which took up a lot of time. What annoyed me the most was people’s rudeness in the queue — for example, one family member would stand in line while the rest were wandering around, and then all of them (sometimes six or more) would cut in once it was their turn. I can understand people being rude, but I think the staff should pay more attention to that and not allow such things, because it makes the wait even longer for everyone else. We waited about an hour and a half for the VR, and honestly, the line would have moved much faster if people weren’t constantly cutting in. I also recommend getting the combined ticket if you plan to visit the exhibition, try the VR, and take a souvenir photo — it’s all included in the package, and it’s a bit cheaper than paying for each activity separately. You can also buy tickets online, which is a big advantage so you don’t have to wait in line. But even if you buy them on-site, there are many open counters, so everything moves quite quickly. Overall, my warm recommendation for visiting this aquarium — a lovely and educational experience for all ages! 🥰

Amazing place! So beautiful! You can tell its made with love to the animals,they take very good care of them ! Perfect for family kids and adults. Definitely a must if you are going to Istanbul!

The staff member at the entrance was rude and unpleasant, insisting we take a photo we didn’t want to. That spoiled the experience a little. But the aquarium itself is really worth seeing - it’s beautiful, clean, and has different zones. Very atmospheric! Definitely visit if you’re interested in the underwater world or just want to have an interesting time alone or with your family 🩵

The Istanbul Aquarium was a really nice experience! It’s big, well-organized, and you can see a huge variety of sea animals from all around the world. The decoration and atmosphere make you feel like you’re really under the sea. It’s also super interesting and fun for children, they’ll love discovering all the different species. Perfect place to visit for families or anyone who loves marine life!

This is a nice aquarium though not like those in the US. There aren't any massive animals, or even a great many at that. Where it does shine is that they do a great job tying in Turkish history to the waterways that nearly surround the country. If you want to combine history with an aquarium, this is your place. Also, the aquarium is part of a larger shopping mall with a ton of stores and a food court that can be found on the top floor. Tons of places to eat with a massive variety available. You can overlook the water while you eat which is quite peaceful. This is a great 25-50% of a day killer also if you're looking to avoid weather. Tourist friendly, filled with gracious locals and staff, and away from the vast majority of tourist areas. Metro station across the street, which is not hard to use.

Very Holy, peaceful, and spiritual place. I found everything so interesting and informative and was amazed by the histories and life stories of St. Anthony of Padua. My prayers have been offered, and I know in time all my prayers will be granted. Highly recommend.. must say a few of my little prayer's have already been answered, praise be to God with the intercession of St. Anthony 🩵🙏🏻✝️🕊♥️

The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua (St. Antuan Kilisesi) is located along the busy Istiklal Caddesi in the Beyoğlu District. This is a early 20th-century Catholic Church built in Italian Neo-Gothic style by architect Giulio Mongeri upon the grounds of an earlier 17th-century church building. Opening hours are 8am to 7.30pm (Mon to Sat) and 9am to 7.30pm (Sun) and entry is free. What you find is a courtyard with statue of Pope John XXIII and a decorative red brick facade with a large rose window above the entrance. Within, the church has a distinctive Catholic and Neo-gothic feel with narrow nave, vaulted high ceiling, stained glass windows and an attractive yet humble altar. There is a wooden case with image of St. Anthony of Padua within the church as well. On the whole, this is an interesting church that very much feels like something that belongs somewhere in Italy compared to the predominantly Greek Orthodox churches encountered elsewhere around Istanbul.

One of the oldest Catholic churches in Turkey in the Church of Saint Anthony. The interior is majestic, and the architecture of the building is superb. You can enter freely, though you should remember that it is still a place of worship, so manners must be kept in mind and not much loud talking should take place.

Located at Tomtom, İstiklal Cd. No:171, 34433 Beyoğlu/İstanbul, Türkiye 🇹🇷 in Istanbul's Beyoğlu district is a true gem known for its stunning neo-Gothic architecture, intricate stained glass windows, and ornate marble columns. Visitors are enveloped in serenity and awe-inspiring beauty upon entering, experiencing a sense of community and spirituality within its halls. Beyond its religious significance, the church plays a vital role in fostering interfaith dialogue and understanding, making it a must-visit destination for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, or those seeking tranquility amidst the bustling city. The Church of St. Anthony of Padua, also known as the Bulgarian Iron Church, is a historic and architecturally significant church located in Istanbul. Designed by the renowned architect Giulio Mongeri, it stands out as one of the earliest churches globally. Despite being situated in a bustling tourist area, the church offers a serene oasis with its tropical garden. Visitors are welcomed warmly regardless of their religious affiliation and can admire the ancient architecture that has stood for centuries. Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and experience a more peaceful atmosphere then attend Sunday mass for a beautiful spiritual experience led by an engaging priest filled with Holy Spirit. Make some extra time to explore the tropical garden surrounding the church for added serenity. First built in 1725 by the Italian community, with the current building dating back to 1906, this is Istanbul’s largest Roman Catholic Church.

Saint Anthony of Padua Church is absolutely beautiful. The architecture is breathtaking, with stunning details both inside and outside. The peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect place to sit, reflect, and admire the history. A must-see when visiting Istanbul!

St. Antuan Church in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, is the city's one of the largest Roman Catholic church, located on İstiklal Avenue. Originally built in 1725 by the Italian community, the current neo-Gothic structure was completed in 1912 by architect Giulio Mongeri. It has historical significance as Pope John XXIII preached there during his time in Turkey (I believe 1960s). The church remains active today, offering multilingual Masses and reflecting Istanbul's diverse cultural fabric. Its striking architecture and central location make it a key spiritual and tourist landmark.

You will not notice at first that the Church is there! It’s kinda hidden from the metal gates. I’m a Roman Catholic and was lucky and blessed enough to attend a mass while visiting Istanbul. When there’s a Mass, they will not allow tourists to go inside the building. The inside is very pretty and well taken care of. There’s a place where you can light candles and pray.

I visited the Rüstem Pasha Mosque today and it was truly amazing. The architecture is breathtaking, with its elegant domes and tall minarets creating a serene atmosphere. Inside and outside, everything is clean and well-maintained, making it a peaceful place to pray or simply enjoy the beauty of the design. The people were welcoming and respectful, which made my visit even more special. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

So this historic mosque was semi-difficult to find in the spice bazaar; after Google maps brought me to the endpoint of my route, I eventually found a plaque next to an open door that said the name. Love that all are welcome here, beautiful architecture on the outside, and very famous iznik tiles patterns on the inside. You are welcome to take photos inside as long as you don’t cross the line for prayer, and your shoes are off. Everything about this mosque is aesthetic. It was peaceful and I am grateful to have prayed here.

A peaceful environment inside the masjid with a separate section and entrance for women. Outside in the courtyard, the noise of the people from tons of shops around can be quite irritating. All in all a typical look to the beautiful mosque design and feel as the traditional mosques here. A huge ring of lights just under the main dome adds to the beauty of Turkish feel of mosques.

I was truly awed by the beauty of this mosque. Tucked away above the bustling streets, it feels like stepping into a hidden gem. The Iznik tile work is breathtaking, with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that surround you in every direction. It’s peaceful, intimate, and filled with history — a place that leaves a lasting impression and peace.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hidden gem that makes other mosques look positively understated 💎🎨 Rüstem Paşa Camii is what happens when a 16th-century grand vizier decides to show off - and thank goodness he did. Tucked away above the shops near the Egyptian Bazaar, this architectural marvel is Istanbul's best-kept secret hiding in plain sight. The climb up those narrow stairs might leave you slightly breathless, but nothing prepares you for the visual assault waiting inside. This place is absolutely dripping in İznik tiles - and I mean proper, gorgeous, museum-quality ceramics covering nearly every surface. The floral patterns, geometric designs, and that distinctive blue-and-white palette create a kaleidoscope effect that'll have you spinning around like a kid in a sweet shop. What's brilliant about this mosque is how it punches well above its weight. It's smaller than the big-name mosques, but the attention to detail is absolutely extraordinary. Every tile, every pattern, every colour choice screams quality over quantity. Sinan knew exactly what he was doing when he designed this beauty. The best part? It's usually blissfully quiet compared to the tourist crowds elsewhere. You can actually take your time to appreciate the craftsmanship without someone's selfie stick poking you in the ribs. Pro tip: The lighting is magical in late afternoon when the sun streams through the windows and hits those tiles just right. Pure Instagram gold, but more importantly, pure architectural poetry.

Rüstem Pasha Mosque is smaller than other famous mosques nearby, but it is very special. The İznik tiles are beautiful—blue, red, and white patterns cover the walls and make the place feel peaceful and artistic. You can see that the builders worked with great care and skill, just like in the big mosques. It’s quiet, not crowded, and perfect if you want to enjoy the art and take your time. A hidden treasure in Istanbul!

Mosque is hidden in Eminonu area and surounded whit many shops. Not very big but very beautiful mosque. Entrance is hiden in small street. Mosque has a special energy and is nice place to take a break from vandering thrue the bazzar shoos
