he life that comes from deep within

Living in a nice little coastal village. Growing old while enjoying the beauty that nature has to offer. Touching the green, learning about different plants, reading while listening to the birds' singing, playing with the sheep, running alongside the squirrels... We are talking about the old village of Rhebas, which is called Riva today. With growing interest towards natural living areas, Riva has become the most attractive part of Istanbul thanks to the Riva Creek, Riva Castle, and the unspoiled forest lands that offer fresh air.
