When the Haydarpaşa Station, which is full of memories that brought Anatolia to Istanbul, was built in 1908, Haydarpaşa Gar Restaurant became active after the guardian of the world gothic architecture in Istanbul.

NO PASSENGERS BUT HAVE INTERVIEWER

Trains don't come to Haydarpasa Train Station for two years. Finally, steamers and engines have been removed. The buffets are already gone. Gar Restaurant is the only living corner of Haydarpaşa. The taxi stop and public toilet continue to work for the rastaurant. Haydarpaşa Gar Restaurant is the place where people come to eat, not those who say in let's take two single Hayd before they go longer. This is the case, but if Haydarpaşa Project is implemented, what is the age-old space is a mystery.

I MISS THE SMELL OF THE TRAINS

: This place dies without trimming, “he says.

“Maybe if this was a cultural center, I could earn more, but believe me, I don't want to. I want it to continue like this. Because I lived those days. I inhaled the smell of trains. I miss that scent. But I believe those trains will come back here. This is the place where happiness and sadness are experienced at the same time. I know the one who came with a wooden suitcase until a year ago. With what hopes I came and saw the helpless person standing on those stairs. What stories have we witnessed… This is the spirit of Haydarpaşa and this spirit must be kept alive.”
