Istanbul Çınaraltı Tea Garden Guide

A reminder for those who say, "Do tea gardens still exist?" That's what we'll talk about today. As you can understand from the title, I will be talking about Çınaraltı tea garden. One of those family tea gardens that are on the verge of extinction, but whose decades-long habit we cannot easily give up: Çınaraltı family tea garden. Located in Çerkezköy, Çınaraltı tea garden is under a plane tree whose age cannot be precisely determined, but is thought to be around 800 years old. It's a place you won't want to leave once you visit. A wonderful atmosphere with a magnificent view at your table, the seagulls' cries reaching your ears, and the ship's whistles in the distance. Serving its regulars for many years, this place is like a part of our lives. Çınaraltı tea garden is one of the places that must be chosen to relax or for a beautiful day with your family. A wonderful breakfast under the shade of an 800-year-old plane tree with a magnificent Bosphorus view, what more could you ask for. I highly recommend it for weekend breakfasts with the family, a short getaway, or a break for yourself. Istanbul, the city of civilizations, has many indispensable beauties, and alongside them, we have places we cannot do without.

Çengelköy, one of the most beautiful places in Istanbul.

Sometimes we disconnect from social environments to rest ourselves and our souls, exhausted by the daily routine and falling tired at home. Of course, rest is necessary, but I also feel sorry for the time spent living in Istanbul for years without seeing or exploring its many beauties. No matter the time or place, you should always have time for yourself. Life flows very fast; while trying to catch up with time, live Istanbul's beauties to the fullest without exhausting yourself. If you still haven't been to Çınaraltı tea garden and haven't had a tea against that beautiful view, you are missing a lot. So, what are you waiting for?
