Here’s an overview of your tour
The historical Yeldeğirmeni has been in constant change and is now an up & coming cultural hotspot. Want to explore it?
Yeldeğirmeni, which is part of the hip district of Kadıköy in Istanbul's Asian side is now an urban hotspot, thanks to the artistic locals of this area. Join me to see the alternative side of Istanbul!
Explore this neighbourhood and check out around 20 different murals and hear about some of the oldest apartments built in Istanbul. See how this place has evolved over time and discover why it is now a favorite spot among locals.
From churches renovated into cultural centers to bustling cafes with vegan options, restaurants offering local homemade food and historical bakeries with traditional pastries. This neighborhood is a local's paradise!
The artistic vibes fill up Yeldeğirmeni! Home to many artists, you can see heaps of art studios and handcraft workshops along the way.
I'd be more than happy to help you discover the beauties and hidden gems of this trendy neighborhood in Istanbul's Asian Side.
Feel free to send me a quick note if you prefer meeting on the European side. I can always personalize your experience 100%. See you soon!
