A Few Suggestions for Travelling in Istanbul After Rhinoplasty Operation

Places You Can Go to in Istanbul (I wrote it for just 1 week)

After rhinoplasty surgery, nosebleeds and blood leakage are most common in the first 3 days. During this period, if there is dripping blood leakage from the front and back of the nose, you can spend it resting at the hotel. We usually tell our patients to stay upright in a cool environment for 2 more days after being discharged from the hospital on the first day and to apply ice if bleeding and bruising around the eyes increase. After the 3 days are completed, you can plan long-distance trips early in the morning and late in the evening. You should be careful not to get hit in the nose in crowded environments.

You can go to Abdülkadir Restaurant, a local restaurant close to my office in Bakırköy, to eat juicy and meat dishes in the Anatolian style. Google map page >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/wSTg98x8PBKKLPoK7

In the evening, you can go to Yeniköy Kaşıbeyaz Bosphorus restaurant, where you can see the panoramic view of the Bosphorus. Google map page >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/seGNetSxzTtxP77JA

On the Anatolian side, you can go to BigChefs Beykoz restaurant, which also has a panoramic view of the Bosphorus. Google map page >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/WmNeGtnMe3KjEwDk8 (The long and wide panoramic photo at the bottom of the page was taken from the garden of this restaurant. See below 👇)

By using the high-speed train station located in Bakırköy FreedomSquare, you can go to Üsküdar beach and the Maiden's Tower in the middle of the sea in 30 minutes. Google mape page >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/cHpXiaqhtmu7Asu29

You can join the Bosphorus tour with boats departing from Eminönü. Especially with an English translator, you can watch the magnificent Bosphorus view accompanied by the smell of cool sea water during the tour lasting about two hours.

You can go to the small islands in the Sea of ​​Marmara by ferries departing from Bostancı, Kadıköy, Kabataş, Beşiktaş and Eminönü. Link to view >> How to Get to the Islands? Istanbul Islands Transportation 2024 - Bilet.com

You can go to Karaköy Güllüoğlu Patisserie next to Galataport where you can eat delicious Antep baklava and local Turkish desserts. It is a self-service and crowded place but there are very delicious and caloric meals :) Google map page  >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/8L3KYhu3tH7d4Lmp6

You can go to Polonezköy and the nature park next to it, which is located on the Anatolian side and is quite natural, where there are small hotels among the greenery, where Polish people live. You can also go here just to have breakfast. Google map page >>https://maps.app.goo.gl/PRKu7JT3dvxyiTR8A

You can go to Taksim Square and the mystical streets in between (like Cezayir Street). Google map page >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/cNvgEVZVHGk2htgF8

Sultanahmet Square is a well-known and crowded touristic area, including Hagia Sophia. Google map page >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/zwhDuvP9Htyw6jYC8

You can also go to Şile, a beautiful coastal town outside of Istanbul. Here you can visit the Ağlayan Kaya Burnu coastal walking path, Şile lighthouse and Şile Castle. This is a very wavy and windy area with a cool sea smell. It may have a cold effect on your face, but it may be appropriate to go 3 days after the operation. I have added a video shot there below. Ağva is located right next to the net. I have written information about Ağva below. Google map page >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/aHGi22JNJVGnsyYK7

A little outside of Istanbul, but Agva is a quiet and natural area where you can travel by canoe and have small river hotels. Google map page >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/qGR7SbqniS44W23a6

Apart from the places I have shared with you here, there are many natural and touristic historical places. It is not possible to visit all of them in a week, but I wanted to add these places that I recommended to you. I wish you a good trip and have fun.
