A leafy regional park on Arnavutköy’s outskirts with walking paths, open meadows and small water features — good for landscape compositions, seasonal flora and bird activity. Best at golden hour for warm light and long shadows; weekdays or early mornings mean fewer visitors. Easily reached by car from central Istanbul (limited public transit); informal parking near entrances and no ticketing. Expect variable weather; bring layered clothing and respect local picnic areas.
