Highlights of Florya
Florya is a green, spacious seaside neighbourhood within the Küçükçekmece district on the Sea of Marmara. In the early decades of the Republic it was one of Istanbul's most fashionable beach resorts, and it is still associated with the sea pavilion where Atatürk spent his summers. Today its broad seaside park, picnic lawns and promenades draw families, especially at weekends, and the Istanbul Aquarium is another popular stop. Galatasaray's training ground is also here, so football fans know the name well. Visitors who stay in Florya tend to want a quiet base near the sea or have business in the surrounding commercial areas. Its villas and gated compounds keep the streets calm and easy to drive. The coast road, however, can slow down on sunny weekends with picnickers and parked cars.
