Watergarden Istanbul

Hi friends!

Once again today we will see the contrasts of the magnificent Istanbul. Will tell you about the area Istanbul in which we live. Located in Atasehir in Asian part of Istanbul. There is a large-scale construction of houses for the wealthy population of the city and the population with an average level of prosperity. No part of Atasehir not in contact with water spaces of Istanbul. Even with high-rise buildings can not see the sea or the Bosphorus. Tourists almost never come here. The area can actually be divided into old and new. We live on the border of these parts. I've already told you about the old district. Today we move into a new part of Atasehir, namely, new entertainment complex Watergarden.

The area of the district is about 26 square kilometers. The population is almost 400 thousand people. It is one of the largest district of Istanbul. In the near future, Atashehir will become the economic center of the city. Even today, the offices of the largest companies in Turkey are located in the district. A large number of high-rise buildings have already been built. Individual buildings of mansions or just small houses are not planned. Now they are paving the way for a high-speed tram. So how to get to other areas of the city without our own car from new Atasehir is a difficult task. Prices for apartments in the area start from 170 thousand dollars. For that kind of money it will be a very modest apartment. We used to call them small families. In the coming years, they plan to build houses that will take another 80 thousand Istanbul residents with average incomes. Young people tend to choose this area. Attract new schools, gyms, huge parks and modern living conditions. In the Asian part of Istanbul Ataşehir is the most expensive area to live.

It looks like the old Atasehir which buildings in the coming years will be demolished. In the photo you can see the building slabs. This is where the high-speed tram will take place. The street is called Mustafa Kemal. For several months we have all the buzzing and roaring. But the global construction is just beginning!

But the most interesting picture is when high-rise buildings rise above the old areas. All the high-rises in front of you in the photo, built over the past 8 years. Two years ago, the buildings were put into operation and there is an intensive settlement. Between the houses is visible to the truncated cone tower, it is small in size. At night, the tower glows with different patterns-it is an interactive tower. That's what we're going to see part of the new Atasehir.

We can say that it is the mental border between the new and old Atasehir. Remember this picture of the old Istanbul in the Asian part.

We got in the new Atasehir Barbaros quarter. In Atasehir today, 17 quarters. Among all the new skyscrapers a few years ago was built one of the best shopping and entertainment complexes in Istanbul-Watergarden. Even many residents of Istanbul do not know about the existence of such a beautiful place to stay.

Watergarden is like an oasis in the Asian part of Istanbul. A beautiful project with an interesting stepped arrangement of buildings. For example, in Tripadvisor can watch the reviews of people who have visited this place.

The shopping and entertainment complex consists of a large market, where there are many shops of different categories. All the information about trade marks you can see on the official website Watergarden.

Not all the rooms are filled with shops, but there are not so many places left. The building for shops is not very large. From the top floor of the building there is an exit to a huge Park. It feels great when you're on the roof of a building.

There are children's playgrounds and a walking area. So many people gather here on weekends that I decided to come on a weekday early in the morning.

The new skyscrapers and the Watergarden complex itself can be seen from the walking roof of the building.

Walking area on the roof of the building. There are fitness equipment for sports recreation. For children of all ages there is always something to do.

Throughout the planted a lot of greenery. In the Park are scattered old models of cars.

Cars are like flower beds, almost completely covered with flowers on the roof of the building.

Of course, on the territory of the complex Watergarden there are cafes, restaurants, Nightclubs for any color and taste of the purse.

In the new Atasehir live modern the latter, which are subject to a fanatical relationship with religion. So here rarely seen women closed from head to toe. Clothing style is completely democratic. Ataşehir is like a little Europe.

We bought Turkish chocolate and came to drink Starbucks coffee.

View of Watergarden from another part of it. Now you can see the roof and the walking area on which we have just been.

This is a magical place to relax. We like Istanbul very much in its old historical part. But when you come to Watergarden, you feel all the charm of the many-faced Istanbul. In the photo my favorite interactive cone tower. It entertains us every evening, as it is very clearly visible from our window. The tower turns the sky into magic with its lights in the evenings.

You originally saw a large swimming pool in the photos. The main attraction of Watergarden is definitely a singing fiery water fountain!

In the morning, the fountain is prepared for presentation. At the edges of the pool are a Board that tells us when the show will begin.

The fountain with different figures of water can be viewed forever. All cafes and restaurants are located so that the view is well viewed.

Water jets alternate with fire fireworks to the music. During the day it looks less interesting than in the evening. But the picture is amazing! During the fiery eruptions are screams and cries of pleasure. Untrained people get a little scared.

The fountain has many faces with its variety.

Pleasant walks on the territory of Watergarden.

All buildings and structures fit perfectly into the complex. It's amazing. After all, from all sides skyscrapers, but they do not put pressure on the perception.

All multi-tiered institutions are covered with various greens. At the fountain with so much green is not terrible summer heat.

There are 10 cinemas for every taste on the territory of the complex Watergarden. Artists and musicians often perform here. Has its own mini-theater.

While we were admiring the beauty of the complex, we were attacked by cows with musical instruments. They all cheer! People next to them were dancing.

What lovely cows! They even had their own shepherd, who gave something to the children. Here are different fun promotions.

The drums were very loud:) Everyone enjoyed taking pictures with such cuties.

The cows went in a circle to please all with its music and look.

That's what joy the children gave funny cows.

Such cheering the action was organized by one of the private colleges of Istanbul.

The complex has a large supermarket Migros, where you can buy everything you need for the house.

Internal spaces of the complex.

Prices of underground Parking. Parking can be free if you make purchases on-site TRK Watergarden 50 Lira. That's a little over $ 10.

On the streets of new Atasehir.

After a couple of minutes away we drive again to the old Atasehir. I think you can clearly see the contrast of the wonderful Istanbul.

Now again, look at the buildings we were in. A 30 minutes walk from the border of old and new Atasehir. The location of Mustafa Kemal street is very optimal. The transport interchange is magnificent. After some time, all the old buildings will be completely demolished. Probably, there will be a nostalgia on such old structures. Now people are puzzled where they will be resettled. Though many in the old Atasehir not even the documents for the house and land.

Watergarden is a very beautiful holiday complex, I advise you to visit if possible. Especially beautiful at night, everything is burning and shining lights. The fountain is fully illuminated. Romantic and beautiful complex of Istanbul is the best. It was only a small journey in the district of Atasehir. I hope you enjoyed your walk!
