What are the most beautiful swimming pools in Istanbul?
Summer in Istanbul is very warm, especially in July and August. During your stay, you will wonder how you can refresh and relax in a city that never stops. A good idea may be to go to the pool or beach (find our article on the most beautiful beaches in Istanbul).
The entrance fees of outdoor pools are often quite high, however, it is often justified by their exceptional location and high-quality service. In some of them, you will also have access to the spa, sauna, and other facilities for a full relaxing day.
