Hiking & Photowalking In The Forest

A Day in Nature – Walk, Breathe, Enjoy

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your mood is take a walk in nature—and this might be just the day for it!

Join us for a refreshing outdoor experience at Atatürk Urban Forest, a beautifully restored green oasis on the northern edge of Istanbul. Covering more than 1,000 acres, the forest features peaceful ponds, scenic walking trails, and the perfect setting to breathe deeply and reconnect with nature.

We’ll start the day by meeting at the Beltur Coffee Shop (Beltur Atatürk Kent Ormanı Tesisi), located right at the forest entrance. After a short meet-and-greet, we’ll begin a relaxed 4 km walk through the forest, surrounded by lush trees, gentle hills, and stunning views that will make you want to stop and take photos at every turn.

📸 The area offers truly breathtaking scenery—mirror-like ponds reflecting the sky, swans gliding across the water, and bursts of seasonal color in every direction. Get ready to capture some unforgettable shots!

After the walk, we’ll make our way down (approx. 2 km) to Tarabya Bay, where we’ll enjoy a well-deserved lunch at Adana Kebap Lahmacun Pide Restaurant, followed by coffee by the Bosphorus, accompanied by the sea breeze and a relaxed vibe.

🚇 Getting There: Take the M2 metro line and get off at Hacıosman Station (last stop). The meeting point is a short walk from the station.

Come enjoy the fresh air, nature, good food, and great company. We’d love to have you with us!

Warm regards,
