Istanbul Aquarium: Meet the Exotic Fish
Istanbul Aquarium is a recreation area at Florya. It is very close to Ataturk Sea Kiosk. There are many fish, other sea creatures and sea plants in the tanks of the aquarium.
There are sixteen themes in Istanbul Aquarium: the Black Sea, Bosphorus, Dardanelles, the Aegean Sea, Suez Canal, the Red Sea, Global Warming, the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar, East Atlantic (sunken ship), Middle Atlantic, West Atlantic, Panama Canal, Pasific, Nautilus (submarine), rain forest.
At rain forest, there is more than fish. Poisonous frogs, snakes and giant rodents are also there. There I saw piranha for the first time!
The aquarium may take 5-6 hours, if you examine the fish carefully. So, make your plans accordingly. There are also cafeterias, children entertainment rooms, cinema salloons and many more.
Where is Istanbul Aquarium?
The bus line 73F, but it operates seldomly. There was a train line, but it is closed due to the Marmaray construction. A seabus service is planned on the port, but therere is nothing yet. Then, you have the right to ask "How will we go to this aquarium?"
The best way we found is that: We got on the Yesilkoy "dolmuş" from Taksim (the yellow ones), The dolmuş passes from very behind of Florya. So, we took a taxi from Yesilkoy, which is very close to Florya, about five to ten minutes. You can repeat it on the return. Both the aquarium and Yesilkoy is nice, so you won't regret your time or money.
* The photos may look strange. Most of them were taken behind glass at slightly dark conditions without using flash.
