Belgrad Forest

It is flooded with nature lovers seven days a week. With its running track, clean picnic areas, cafeteria and car park, it offers ideal facilities for Istanbulites. The Neşetsuyu Picnic Area, used by sports clubs for cross-country and breathing exercises, also serves natural scientists with its rich flora and fauna.

If you want a quieter corner in the sea of trees that is Belgrad Forest, the place to go is the picnic area named after our famous writer Falih Rıfkı Atay. It welcomes its guests in a two-hundred-decare area between Neşet Suyu and Kömürcübent. The areas, equipped with wooden seating, make it possible to picnic in all conditions. The mini football pitch inside the Falih Rıfkı Atay Picnic Area, which has plenty of water sources, is a rare chance especially for young people and children. On walks deep into the forest, many species of flowers and plants will greet you.
