The one with the bookstore

Nail Kitabevi & Cafe

@caglavelioglu

We can say that Nail Bookstore is the symbol of Kuzguncuk, the neighborhood where it is located. It is located in a very beautiful building. Kuzguncuk is such a beautiful place that it deserves a separate guide :) I recommend you visit Nail Bookstore on weekdays as it is more empty.

The one with the museum

Gazhane Museum

@caglavelioglu

The historical building, which is one of Turkey's most important industrial heritage with its 130-year history, opened its doors on July 9, 2021, with an art-oriented "living space" concept after a comprehensive restoration process. There are constantly different events and exhibitions. You can follow the Instagram account to stay informed.

A rooftop restaurant with a very nice view. I recommend it for a few drinks at sunset.
