Istanbul Aquarium Guide

Istanbul Aquarium Guide is an independent aquarium and visitor guide and affiliate publishing website based in Georgia. It is founded and operated by Badri Patarkacishvili.

The site publishes practical, independent guidance for people planning visits to Istanbul Akvaryum and the Florya area of Istanbul. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the attractions it covers.

Founder and Editor

I'm Badri Patarkacishvili — the founder and editor of Istanbul Aquarium Guide, based in Tbilisi, Georgia. I created the site for travellers who want clear context before planning an aquarium visit or choosing a ticket provider.

Guides combine official visitor information, independent editorial research and recurring themes in published visitor feedback. First-hand experience is used only where a page explicitly says so; researched guides are labelled clearly and are never presented as personal visits.

The goal is simple: explain what is genuinely worth seeing, identify the practical decisions that matter and make the relationship between official and third-party booking routes easy to understand.

“A useful cultural guide should do more than repeat opening hours. It should help the reader understand the experience, the trade-offs and who will handle the booking before money changes hands.”

— Badri Patarkacishvili, founder and editor


How This Site Makes Money

This site earns money through affiliate partnerships. When you click a GetYourGuide link on this site and make a booking, Istanbul Aquarium Guide may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.

The attractions covered are not affiliate partners unless a page explicitly states otherwise. Links to official attraction websites and official sellers are included as references and are not affiliate links.

Where useful, the site includes both the official booking route and clearly labelled third-party options so readers can compare availability, inclusions, prices and cancellation terms. Third-party conditions can vary by product and date, so always check the live booking details before paying.

All affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the HTML.
