There is a bus stop somewhere around here where 41Ç departs. It's called Sahil Otoparkı.

Hünkar Çayırı (Sultan's Meadow) is a picnic area run by Gebze district's municipality.

According to some sources this is where Mehmed 'The Conqueror" (Mehmet II) set up a camp with his army on his last campaign before his death.

The area is very basic with a historic fountain and some benches. Nearby are also the remnants of a former automotive plant which is open to the public and essentially acts as an extension of the picnic area.

I wrote about the plant in more detail in the other notes if you are interested.

Former open air storage area of the old Çayırova TOE (Turkish Automotive Industries) Plant. Area was likely used to store total break down kits.

Çayırova Marmaray Station. This station was built from scratch in 2013 and wasn't on the original B1 Haydarpaşa-Gebze commuter line.

Buses to İzmit and Gölcük depart from the bus stand next to the station.

This plot of land used to have the main factory building of the Turkish Automotive Industries (TOE), it was closed in 1995, briefly used to store car parts and demolished in 2015. The plot is currently empty except for a small building to the east.

Numerous derelict workshops and the administrative building of the former Çayırova TOE (Turkish Automotive Industries) Plant closed in 1995.

Most buildings' roofs have long since collapsed, the administrative building (Located to the west bordering the military area) is partially intact. The center part of the building is intact but the wings have collapsed likely in 2022.

The main plant (Used to be located to the south of the railway) was demolished in 2015.
