Polonezkoy

This delightful village is about 25 km from Beykoz, and it can only be reached by car. There are routes from Beykoz, Pasabahce or Cubuklu, all going through green valleys, between hills thickly wooded with oak, beech, chestnut and pine trees that lead to Polonezkoy.

Polonezkoy Istanbul Turkey

Polonezkoy, the Polish village, was founded in 1842 by refugees from Poland who called it Adampol after the exiled Polish leader Prince Adam Czartoryski. In 1853 Prince Adam organized a Polish contingent to fight with Turkey and Britain in the Crimean War, and they served with such distinction that Abdul Mecit I granted them this area of land in perpetuity.

Today, many of the younger generation have left, but there are still some Polish families who farm the land. What started as a sideline-providing gargantuan Polish meals (home produced pork was a specialty, especially for foreigners), simple accommodation and peaceful rural seclusion to visitors from Istanbul-became so popular that the village now appears to consist mainly of restaurants, pensions and hotels. It has become a favored weekend resort, and there are many good walks in the area. The simple church, built in 1914, and the cemetery up the hill from it, are peaceful and lovely places.
