Saklıköy Geyikli Cafe

Cafe, Restaurant, Turkish

The décor of this café is simply stunning. It has the simply rustic feel of a roof garden or green house with its mismatched wooden furniture and miscellaneous ornaments. One is encouraged to recline under the open sky and either bask in the sun during the day or marvel the stars each night. This is a café that appeals to a more hipster, alternative crowd but if you love a vintage ambiance then this is the place for you.

Old Java

Cafe, Coffee Shop, Tea

This is a coffee shop with heart and a great place to socialize and start your day. Choose from some of your favorite coffees whilst enjoying the unique feeling that can only come from an independent coffee shop, not a western chain. The interior is plush and warm encouraging a friendly and comfortable vibe. We especially recommend the fresh pastries on offer, which will perfectly accompany your revitalizing drinks.
