Don’t Get Stuck in Cafes: ISTANBUL ALTERNATIVE EVENTS LIST
Caution: Contains Adrenaline
We are not saying that we are looking for ways to entertain ourselves in our country or even in our city.. No, we are not saying such a thing please shshsh.. Since we are in Istanbul. Then we think, let’s go out of the triangle of Karaköy, Kadıköy, Balat, let’s go to the mountains and the countryside, then go to the city and spend hours drinking coffee in cafes (or harmful drinks in bars shshs). So we said what can we do when this is the case and we created a lot of activities for ourselves.. Yes, they are a bit salty, but think of it this way; We spend an average of 20 TL for a meal, 15 TL for a coffee and tons of money for transportation.. We know ourselves, of course.. Well, then, if you consider this eating and drinking hangover as a luxury and do it once a month, you will have both time and money for our recommendations.. Imagine.. We have a suggestion for every season. Don’t worry, we said that there is also winter, and we added our winter suggestions:
1- Istanbul Aquarium
Did you know that the world’s largest thematic aquarium is in Florya, Istanbul? We knew that there was an aquarium, but we did not know the claim of it.. From diving with sharks to feeding fish, there are few experiences you can experience in your life, in the concept of this aquarium.. The lemon shark is the biggest shark in the aquarium. Anaconda, piranha and many fish species we know from horror movies are also at Istanbul Aquarium!
Weekdays: 10:00-19:00 Weekends: 10:00-20:00. You can buy tickets from the website. Ticket price for adults is 73 TL. It is also available in packages such as family, monthly, yearly. Click for detailed information
2- Dialog in Dark
Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without your eyes seeing? Apart from the spiritual dimension, what are the difficulties in life, for example? Here Dialog in Dark has thought for us and offered a great idea for us to understand a twilight life a little bit.. We went in Hamburg. And we say there is no such experience, that’s all!
You can have this experience at Gayrettepe metro station.. Tickets are at Biletix. Ticket price for adults is 45 TL. Click to buy tickets
3- Istanbul Dolphinarium
If you can’t go to the ocean to swim with dolphins, then make your wish come true at the dolphinarium. Yes, we are also against putting animals in the aquarium.. Every living thing is beautiful in its own nature.. There are services for dolphins such as swimming, getting to know each other, diving and rehabilitation.. We want to believe that the maintenance conditions are not bad.. If you wish, you can also watch whale and dolphin shows.. There are shows every day of the week at 14:00 except Mondays.. The price of swimming with dolphins for 1 person is 850 TL for 10 minutes, 1700 TL for 20 minutes of diving with dolphins, and 140 TL for watching the shows. Click for detailed information
4- Helicopter Tour
Seeing Istanbul from the sky from a bird’s eye view? It’s not like looking for your own home while you’re in the skies of Istanbul by plane.. 219 Euros for 15-30 minutes. Click for detailed information
6- Bodyflying
Leaving yourself in the void and really. It’s not like falling in a dream.. What is “Jack I’m flying”, those who really dream of flying should definitely try..
Now we are moving on to sports events..
5- Paintball
Trabzon Park’ You have to paintball to bring out your inner Xena or Hercules in Ta or Şile.. Okay, after all, those rubber bullets can bruise at close range.. Do not exaggerate, enjoy yourself..
6- Rafting
Why not throw yourself from the rivers by boat? Gliding against rocks, crashing into rocks.. Okay, it’s creepy when you say it like that, but we think it’s definitely a great experience.. We didn’t do it either, but here it is on our list..
7- Off-road
Especially in the spring, when the mud passed the knee, it’s off road time. Of course, you must also love to be driving.. You can find many places in Şile, Ağva.
8- Carting
After all that adrenaline, it may seem easy to drive on a track with small vehicles, but actually it is not that easy.. It can be considered as a beginner level before off road.

The Anatolian side of Istanbul is quite mountainous as of Gebze.. Why not get training for climbing that you can do both in winter and summer.
