Those who come to the poplars to eat fish either come by ferrying the city lines departing from the Eminönü pier and stop by the piers of the Bosphorus or prefer the voyages departing from Sarıyer.

The duration of your stay does not matter at all, whether it is an hour or five hours, parking lot attendants get three million TL in cash in advance. The turn comes to choose a table in a place with a view.
