The first stop is Sirkeci. Set in the Emin\u00f6n\u00fc neighborhood of the Fatih district, Sirkeci sits at the mouth of the Golden Horn and the beginning of the Bosphorus Strait.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We begin from G\u00fclhane Park, where huge trees tower over grass, gardens and, in season, fields of colorful tulips. Stroll through the park to Topkap\u0131 Palace, former home to sultans, and enjoy the Bosphorus view from the terrace of the Mecidiye Mansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sirkeci Train Station is next. Built in 1888, the Station was the terminus for the fabled Orient Express train. Its still-elegant interior features stained glass windows and Byzantine- and Seljuk-style accents. There\u2019s also a small museum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next stop is a short walk from the train station \u2013 the Grand Post Office. Built in 1909 by Vedat Tek, the Grand Post Office, which still functions as a post office, is among the first examples of Turkish neoclassical design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now, we move on to the iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grand_Bazaar,_Istanbul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Grand Bazaar<\/a>. Built in 1461, the Grand Bazaar is considered by some to be the heart of tourism and commerce in Istanbul. It\u2019s one of the oldest and largest covered markets in existence. Carpet, jewelry and antique shops co-exist with spice and candy vendors, cafes and clothing stores. One way to experience the Grand Bazaar is to get lost in its narrow corridors\u2026or enjoy a tea and just observe the never-ending human flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving the Grand Bazaar via the Nuriosmaniye exit brings us to the delightful Flower Market. A short walk or drive across the Galata Bridge then delivers us to Karak\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Karak\u00f6y&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"Galata Kulesi\u2019nden \u0130stanbul Bo\u011faz\u0131 manzaras\u0131\" class=\"wp-image-19668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-696x521.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-1068x800.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-1920x1438.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-561x420.jpg 561w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/galata-kulesi-manzara.jpg 2001w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Karak\u00f6y is the modern name of the district formerly known as Galata. Karak\u00f6y, with a port network dating from the Byzantine Period, is among Istanbul\u2019s oldest commercial centers and in recent years has emerged as a trendy destination for both tourists and residents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Karak\u00f6y Ferry Port, just at the Bridge, offers a magnificent view of Topkap\u0131 Palace and the Sultanahmet skyline. Because humans cannot exist on views alone, a stop at nearby G\u00fcll\u00fco\u011flu, the famous purveyor of baklava, is next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few steps from G\u00fcll\u00fco\u011flu are Mumhane and Hoca Tahsin streets, dotted with both long-established and recently arrived shops, cafes, wine bars and restaurants. The peaceful French Passage is an open-air pedestrian walkway lined with boutiques and coffee shops, including Tarihi Karabatak Kahveci, on the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Street art is plentiful in the alleys and lanes that wind from Karak\u00f6y to Taksim. To see the most striking murals and graffiti in the area, search # StreetArtIstanbul hashtag on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, there\u2019s a wonderful view of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Galata_Tower\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Galata Tower<\/a> from Karak\u00f6y. The 70-meter-high Galata Tower, with its 1500-year history, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and features fantastic vistas of the Bosphorus and the Historical Peninsula skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next stop is Be\u015fikta\u015f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be\u015fikta\u015f<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Denizden Dolmabah\u00e7e Saray\u0131\u2019n\u0131n g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fc\" class=\"wp-image-19671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-2048x1361.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-1068x709.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-1920x1275.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dolmabahce-sarayi-632x420.jpg 632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lively Be\u015fikta\u015f, our next stop, has a fish market, a ferry terminal and a weekly market, as well as shops, boutiques, hotels, galleries and nightlife. It\u2019s also the home of Be\u015fikta\u015f Jimnastik Kul\u00fcb\u00fc, the football team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking along the coastal road to Be\u015fikta\u015f, we pass Vodafone Park, the home of the&nbsp; Be\u015fikta\u015f football team, Dolmabah\u00e7e Mosque, the Dolmabah\u00e7e Clock Tower and the ornate Dolmabah\u00e7e Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completed in 1854, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.millisaraylar.gov.tr\/en\/palaces\/dolmabahce-palace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dolmabah\u00e7e Palace<\/a> served as a home for the Sultan and, later, as the Istanbul base for Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk. Architects Niko\u011fos and Garabed Balya employed rococo, baroque and neoclassical motifs for the Palace\u2019s exterior, while the interiors were created by the designer of the Paris Opera at that time. In any case, the Palace\u2019s enormous door, alone, is worth a visit to this iconic building.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We exit Dolmabah\u00e7e Palace onto Dolmabah\u00e7e Road \u2013 a tree-lined avenue with wide sidewalks and busy traffic. The Naval Museum, T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s largest maritime museum, is on this road and, across the street is Akaretler, an elegant cobblestone street known for its cafes and galleries.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Be\u015fikta\u015f Bazaar is the heart of the neighborhood: residents and visitors alike come to Be\u015fikta\u015f for the bars, restaurants and cafes surrounding the fish market. The Eagle Statue \u2013 a symbol of the beloved Be\u015fikta\u015f football team \u2013 is a meeting point for fans, especially on game days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the statue is bustling Tarihi Karadeniz D\u00f6ner, a favorite of Be\u015fikta\u015f residents and among Istanbul\u2019s most notable d\u00f6ner restaurants.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting back on the coastal road and heading toward Ortak\u00f6y, we pass <a href=\"https:\/\/www.millisaraylar.gov.tr\/en\/palaces\/yildiz-palace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Y\u0131ld\u0131z Palace<\/a> and Y\u0131ld\u0131z Grove.

The complex is also home to the Y\u0131ld\u0131z Tile and Porcelain Factory located in the complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We exit the complex and, across the road, is the stately, seafront \u00c7\u0131ra\u011fan Palace. Considered among the most important examples of oriental architecture in T\u00fcrkiye, this historic building is now an upscale hotel and event center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ortak\u00f6y<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-1024x698.jpg\" alt=\"Ortak\u00f6y Camii\u2019ni i\u00e7ine alan \u0130stanbul Bo\u011faz\u0131 manzaras\u0131\" class=\"wp-image-19673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-1024x698.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-1536x1047.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-2048x1397.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-218x150.jpg 218w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-696x475.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-1068x728.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-1920x1309.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Ortakoy-camisi-616x420.jpg 616w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Time flies and it\u2019s past noon. We\u2019ve reached Ortak\u00f6y and the first stop is the Ortak\u00f6y Mosque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as the B\u00fcy\u00fck Mecidiye Camii, the baroque-style Mosque was commissioned by Sultan Abdulmecit and built by architect Balyan Nigogos. With its elegant minarets and stone-carved interiors, the Mosque has featured in countless photographs and paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Ortak\u00f6y Mosque, other houses of worship in Ortak\u00f6y include the Ayios Fokas Greek Orthodox Church, Surp Krikor Lusavoric Armenian Catholic Church and Etz Ahayim Synagogue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A short walk from the Mosque leads to the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.besiktas.bel.tr\/entry\/esma-sultan-manor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Esma Sultan Mansion<\/a>. The former home of the Sultan\u2019s daughter was used as an Orthodox Christian school and a tobacco warehouse before being restored in 1999; it now serves as an event venue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering views of both the Bosphorus and the 15th of July Martyrs Bridge, the surrounding area has tiny streets and plazas lined with handicrafts shops and cafes, as well as local eateries. A classic Ortak\u00f6y street food is the baked potato, piled high with a variety of toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Another sight worth seeing is the Keth\u00fcda Hammam, designed by Mimar Sinan. The former bathhouse is now a museum and exhibition center. And on Bulgurlu Street, side-by-side historical houses feature a line of 18 colorful bay windows. It should be noted that the 2019 Street Art Festival had a significant effect on the neighborhood and many of these works can be located via Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arnavutk\u00f6y&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-1024x723.jpg\" alt=\"Denizden Arnavutk\u00f6y\u2019\u00fcn bir g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fc\" class=\"wp-image-19675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-1536x1084.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-2048x1446.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-696x491.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-1068x754.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-1920x1355.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-595x420.jpg 595w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Arnavutkoy-1-100x70.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing along the coast road, we pass Kuru\u00e7e\u015fme Park, with views of Galatasaray Island, and reach Arnavutk\u00f6y. Arnavutk\u00f6y, which in Turkish is \u201cAlbanian Village\u2019, was home to Greek and Jewish communities until the 19th century. This picturesque neighborhood is known for its pastel-colored seaside mansions called Kaz\u0131kl\u0131 Yol, due to the road built on piles driven into the sea. There are also fish restaurants, and a wide boardwalk along the Bosphorus where people fish, jog and stroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The neighborhood also features a range of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/en\/religious-tourism-centers-of-turkey\/\">religious structures<\/a>, including the Taksiarhis Greek Orthodox Church, the Profitis Ilias Greek Orthodox Church and Holy Spring and the Tevfikiye Mosque.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk away from the coast and up Arnavutk\u00f6y&#8217;s narrow, hilly streets, which offer Bosphorus views, cafes, design workshops and souvenir shops.

Commissioned in the mid-18<sup>th<\/sup>-century by Grand Vizier Mustafa Re\u015fit Pasha and built by Karabet Amira Balyan and Sarkis Balyan, this neoclassical mansion has a large courtyard, arched windows, and a garden with marble columns, pedestals and a pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Baltaliman\u0131 Japanese Garden in Emirgan hosted the 2003 Japanese Year in T\u00fcrkiye events, and is a fine example of classic Japanese landscaping art.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important stop, however, is Emirgan Park, covering \u200b\u200b472,000 square meters.

After the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century, the village also developed a shipyard and caulking station and, after the establishment of a mosque for Nesli\u015fah Sultan, gained a neighborhood identity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of the neighborhood\u2019s most important historical structures, the Nesli\u015fah Sultan Mosque, on De\u011firmen Street, was built in 1540 by Beyaz\u0131t II for his granddaughter, Nesli\u015fah Sultan. The historical Istinye Bath, built in 1460, is just across the street. The more youthful Rizeli Hac\u0131 Bayram Kaptan Fountain, built in 1900, is near Istinye Pier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Faik Bey and Recaizade Mahmut Ekrem Mansions are other notable structures. Faik Bey Mansion \u2013 also known as Pakize Han\u0131m Mansion \u2013 is on Istinye K\u00f6yba\u015f\u0131 Street. Commissioned by the G\u00fcm\u00fc\u015fhane sub-governor Faik Bey, the three-story concrete mansion, covered with wood, has an unusual balcony. Named after the famous writer and poet, it is rumored that Servet-i F\u00fcn\u00fbn literature was born here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, the Istinye Park complex features an open-air area with high-end boutiques and designer stores, as well as a modern shopping mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next stop is Yenik\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Yenik\u00f6y\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Yenik\u00f6y iskelesiden vapur bekleyen insanlar\" class=\"wp-image-19686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Yenikoy-iskelesi-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Players of Turkish Monopoly know that Yenik\u00f6y is the most expensive district. A visit to the neighborhood reveals trendy venues, magnificent villas, and wonderful scenery. Yet, Yenik\u00f6y remains tranquil and uncrowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formerly called Nihori, Yenik\u00f6y was a fishing village with mostly Greek residents. While many of these families migrated after September 6-7 and the Cyprus Operation, their influence can still be seen; one of the most important of these reminders is the Panayia Kumariotisa Church, built in 1837.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>K\u00f6yba\u015f\u0131 Street, which runs along the Yenik\u00f6y Coast, has some of the city\u2019s most famous restaurants and cafes. There are expensive structures \u2013 Erbilginler Mansion, for example, is valued at more than $100 million \u2013 and famous structures, such as the lavish Sait Halim Pa\u015fa Mansion, now an event venue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just above Sait Halim Pa\u015fa Mansion is quiet Yenik\u00f6y Grove, a beautiful park with Bosphorus views. Set on a quaint cobblestone street, the tree-shaded Yenik\u00f6y Coffeehouse is a neighborhood favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Driving towards Tarabya, we pass more cafes and restaurants, as well as gated villas. We also see the art-nouveau style Huber Mansion. Used as the presidential residence in Istanbul, the Mansion features a blend of&nbsp; Chinese, Indian, Iranian, Islamic, Ottoman and European motifs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And on to Sar\u0131yer, our last stop and where we\u2019ll spend the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sar\u0131yer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-1024x692.jpg\" alt=\"Sar\u0131yer\u2019deki tarihi evler\" class=\"wp-image-19688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-1024x692.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-1536x1037.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-2048x1383.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-696x470.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-1068x721.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-1920x1297.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Sariyer-tarihi-ev-622x420.jpg 622w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in a city filled with stunning views, the Sar\u0131yer sunsets over the Bosphorus are unique \u2013 and the views can be enjoyed from one of the dozens of renowned fish restaurants in this tranquil neighborhood.
