Şamlar Nature Park

Really i liked it this place is not only a park but it’s also a forest 🌳

If you're looking for a tranquil oasis in the heart of Istanbul, Şamlar Natural Park is a must-visit destination. Nestled in the lush greenery of the Forest, this sprawling picnic area offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

As you wander along the winding paths that snake through the park, you'll be enveloped by the sweet fragrance of pine trees and the soothing sound of running water. The park is well-maintained, with plenty of grassy areas to spread out a blanket and enjoy a leisurely picnic with friends and family.

For those seeking a bit more adventure, the park also has a zipline and rope course that will get your heart racing. And for younger visitors, there's a playground area with swings and slides that will keep them entertained for hours.

Overall, Şamlar Natural Park is a wonderful destination for a peaceful day out in nature. Whether you're looking to relax and unwind or get your adrenaline pumping, this hidden gem in Istanbul has something for everyone. Don't forget to pack a picnic basket and take advantage of the stunning surroundings.

Very nice place to visit and enjoy the time there with the family

If you're looking for relax environment with basic facilities like tuvalet (washroom) and water nulls near picnic areas and you don't want to go to very crowded places so it is one of best options, bus will drop you at entrance gate using piknic 2 stop.

It is an amazing forest in Istanbul with very less crowdness, I wanted to hike and I did successfully but with that I was looking for camping too( i had all my camping gears) but thy didn't turn on any light when it's get dark and I couldn't and left the forest at 10pm.

Very nice place especially if you're the kind of person who don't like to follow the asphalt and like to find out different undiscovered routes.
