Shaymaa: Stop by Altan Şekerleme for some Turkish delights!

Shaymaa: Good food, awesome view. Best to make a reservation.

Shaymaa: Really good and fresh. They make them in the kitchen upstairs.

Shaymaa: Fine dining. Juicy, delicious, and scrumptious kebabs. Salads are great too. I loved the yogurt soup.

Shaymaa: Climb up the steps to the mountain opposite the restaurant and you'll discover an abandoned fort with a breathtaking view.

Shaymaa: They are closed on Mondays.

Shaymaa: Büyükada (Big Island; Greek: Πρίγκηπος, Prínkēpos) is the largest of the nine islands comprising the Princes' Islands in the Marmara Sea, close to Istanbul.
