| Nezahat Gökyiğit Botanic Garden (NGBB). |
The garden was planted in 1995 by Ali Nihat Gökyiğit to commemorate his late wife, Nezahat Gökyiğit. It was officially opened to the public as a Park in 2002 and in 2003, it became the Nezahat Gökyiğit Botanic Garden (NGBB).

Despite its location, in many parts of the garden it's easy to find sanctuary from a city home to 13.5 million people.
I've visited the garden twice now and still have more to explore. Next time I'm hoping to find the wild island that has been left to naturally succeed. This last trip I spent some time in the Ertuğrul Island where you can find an excellent collection of edible and medicinal plants native to Turkey.

A note of caution - particularly if you are into tasting edible plants - I noticed a few of the plants were labelled incorrectly.
