Kadıköy

The experience

On the Asian shore of Istanbul along the Sea of Marmara, Kadıköy is a lively, unpretentious district built around a produce and fish market, independent bookshops, bars and record stores. The adjoining Moda quarter adds leafy streets, seafront promenades and cafes. It is reached by a short ferry from the European side and feels distinctly more local.

The everyday, creative Istanbul locals love, a ferry ride from the tourist core.
