Get lost among century-old giant planetrees and noisy parrots hiding among their leaves in Gülhane Park. As legend says, once a ship carrying exotic birds sank in Bosporus and parrots stayed in a couple of Istanbul parks forever. In spring come here for tulips and in winter to feel this special hüzün Oriental melancholy from Orhan Pamuk's novels.
