Neighbourhood · Istanbul
Kadıköy sits on Istanbul's Asian side — a ferry ride across the Bosphorus from the European districts, yet only 25 minutes from Eminönü. An authentic, bohemian neighbourhood of covered food markets, secondhand bookshops, street art and the waterfront promenade of Moda, it gives a very different perspective on the city: less tourist-focused and more genuinely Istanbullu. The food scene is excellent — fresh fish on the harbour, a covered market bursting with produce, a café culture that runs all day. It suits adventurous repeat visitors who want to escape the monument circuit and explore the city's other, less photographed half.
