    Eclectic

    A luxury hotel on one side, a historic mosque on the other. A luxury restaurant and vendors selling food on carts next to each other. Certainly a very unique neighborhood.

    My favourite place

    The best view of the modern and historic Istanbul at the same time. Historic Ortakoy Mosque and the behind, modern Bosphorus Bridge... Nice spot for shot. The area itself is very nice with very warm people. Don't leave without eating a proper kumpir.

    Lots of shops, the bosphorus, Ortakoy mosque, lots of restaurants including starbucks for those interested, and places to sit and watch the sunset on the bosphorus. Overall a beautiful area which is buzzing with locals, tourists and vendors.

    folks in search of urban buzz, not to mention a
    constant reminder of just how important Istanbul’s
    waterways are to its rich history, there's the
