Izmir, 
Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 Pretty orbweaver, nice find. This looks like it could be something close to Aculepeira ceropegia though I’m uncertain if it is that exactly. Examples I’m seeing online have a slightly different pattern and I’m unfamiliar with how much they vary. Tentatively filed to genus.
Thank You!
