Istanbul - Golden Horn

There are many fine trees include exotic magnolias, pinus brutia and nettle tree. The central lawns covered by fine reddish dust fringe box-edged parterres, tulips and ubiquitous salvias. During the Istanbul Festival in July, concerts of Turkish classical music are performed in the garden.

At Yildiz Park, the garden is divided into two parts, the outer garden contains the Cadir and Malta pavilions and the Yildiz porcelain factory and open to public. There are many flowering shrubs and trees including bay, magnolia grandiflora, Judas trees, robinia pseudacacia, silver limes and red- and white-flowered varieties of horse chestnuts. Also, the garden is richly wooded with yew, cypress, oak, pine, cedar and ash. Inside the outer garden, there are two attractive artificial lakes.
