Beşiktaş Promenade (MEGT)
Istanbul, Türkiye
Evliya Çelebi describes the place as follows: First of all, all its waterfront mansions are located along the promenade. However, this city has become famous for its 160 gardens, all of which are genuinely similar to the paradise garden, with roses, hyacinths, and other beautiful flowers.
