Although Büyükçekmece is a bit far from the city, it is worth going. You can go to the beach during the day and walk or picnic along the seafront in the evenings. A street market is also set up in the evenings.
Although Büyükçekmece is a bit far from the city, it is worth going. You can go to the beach during the day, and in the evenings you can walk or picnic along the seafront. Also, on some evenings a street market is set up. Jewellery, hair clips, clothes, whatever you are looking for is there. It is also possible to find alcohol-free restaurants along the seafront. During Ramadan, most people break their fast on the seafront, and there are even people who come with their pillows and quilts to wait for sahur. You can even see people going into the sea after iftar in the evening. Lighting barbecues on the seafront is forbidden, but there are those who break this rule. There are also areas with barbecue spots. When you go to quieter places, you can see people fishing. It is quite quiet here in winter, and in spring and summer the population grows because it is a seaside place. It is a true seaside place; even the houses are 2-3 storeys or villa style.
Watching the sunset from here is also very beautiful. You have a glass of tea in your hand and the sun slowly setting in front of you. Or you have a camera in your hand photographing the sunset, and at that very moment you get the people fishing into the frame against the light. Wouldn't that be beautiful?
