Skating on the New Year's First Day can be a Great Idea!

Did you know that Europe's largest Olympic ice rink is right next to you? You can enjoy the ice by participating in 40-minute free sessions on the Olympic-standard track on Zeytinburnu Ice Island. You can rent skates and helmets at the venue, so we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before your session to avoid being late for your session. On the Zeytinburnu Ice Island, you can choose the one that suits you from the 6 sessions that are renewed every hour on Sunday, January 1, between 16.00 and 21.00, and you can enjoy ice skating with your family in the company of expert trainers.
