About this tour
This walk follows Karaalioğlu Park from its shaded pathways to the clifftop viewpoint at its edge. You see the gardens laid out along the way, then the view opening over the harbour and the gulf as the path reaches the cliff. The session is a quieter, greener contrast to the old town nearby.
I begin with a sound check under the trees, then we move toward the cliff while you ask questions about the plants and the layout. I slow down at the viewpoint so you get the full view without rushing. Afterwards I send a short note on the names of what you saw.
This suits anyone who wants a calmer session away from the busier lanes of Kaleiçi. It also suits a traveller looking for a good vantage point over the harbour before exploring further.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

- Travel to the city
