We visited Rahmi Koc museum on our last day and it is a simply wonderful place - we spent three-four hours that day and couldn't do justice to it.

The museum is well organized, especially the kids love it. Visitors go back in time with technology. Halat restaurant is one of the best in the area. More

This museum is a pleasant ferry trip up the Golden Horn. You can see trains, mint condition classic vehicles, motorcycles, a tank, a submarine, a fighter jet,model trains, cars and toys. It was a nice change from visiting mosques and other ancient sights. The area around the museum has waterfront parks where local families picnic. More

Museum worth visiting no matter how old are you. My husband and I spent about three hours there, but it was raining hardly, so we coudn't see all atractions. Don't miss the submarine, it's really interesting experience (for only additonal 7 TL per person). More

Great collection of ecclectic items. Kids will love it and so will adults. Best place for kids on a rainy day or even not. It has nothing much to do with Turkey, but if you need a break and have kids, this is the place. More
