The day in Sarıyer starts with a sprawling breakfast spread and never quite tells you how it ends. This is where the Bosphorus stops and the forest starts — one minute you're walking through Belgrad Forest, the next you're catching the smell of fish on Rumelifeneri's shore. Green in Emirgan, sand in Kilyos, yachts lined up in Tarabya. Try to escape the city and you risk getting caught in traffic instead. Welcome to the can't-decide club — safest bet is to roll the dice and let the forest and the coast split the rest between them.
