| Kadikoy Kadiköy, on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus just south of Haydarpasa, was known in Byzantine times as Chalcedon.Today it's a bustling commercial and transportation center, and residential district of the megalopolis of Istanbul.Most visitors pass through Kadiköy on their way to somewhere else, usually via the Kadiköy ferry docks just south of Haydarpasa Station across a cove.From Kadiköy, ferries cross the Bosphorus regularly to Karaköy (Galata) and Eminönü at the mouth of the Golden Horn. |

| Beyoglu Beyoglu is the district on the north bank of the Golden Horn, from Karaköy (Galata) and the Galata Bridge to Taksim Square.In the 1800s this was the newer, more European section of Istanbul (Constantinople). Embassies were built here, foreign merchants lived and worked here, and they shopped at the posh boutiques along the Grande Rue de Péra, now called Istiklal Caddesi.This was also one of the neighborhoods favored by the sultan's Jewish subjects and still has many beautiful small synagogues. Today Beyoglu is enjoying a cultural and architectural revival. The huge embassies are now consulates, the shops are posh again. |

| Sultanahmet The Sultanahmet district is the heart of historic Old Istanbul, what 19th-century travelers used to call "Stamboul."This is where you'll find Topkapi Palace, Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia), the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Camii), the Byzantine Hippodrome, Yerebatan Saray (Sunken Palace Cistern), the Istanbul Archeological Museums, Great Palace Mosaic Museum, and several lesser sights.It's your best base for sightseeing in Istanbul. For a rundown on things to see, go to Istanbul Sights. |

| Ortakoy ''In the Byzantine era the main area of Ortakoy was known as Damianou. It was named after the 9th century Byzantine monastery built by the statesman Damianos. Although initially neglected by the Ottomans, by the 16th century Ortakoy had become an important settlement in which all monotheistic religions were represented. The village's major monuments are the Buyuk Mecidiye Mosque, the Russian Orthodox Church of Aghios Fokas, the Etz Ahayim Synagogue and the Ortakoy Public Bath. |

| Bosphorus The Bosphorus is the 32 km (20-mi)-long strait which joins the Sea of Marmara with the Black Sea in Istanbul, and separates the continents of Europe and Asia. It's great for a half-day cruise north toward the Black Sea. You can return to Istanbul by land along the European shore and see all the sights.In 1452, Mehmet the Conqueror ordered the construction of the mighty fortresses of Rumeli Hisari (Fortress of Europe) and Anadolu Hisari (Fortress of Anatolia) so he could control the strait and prevent reinforcements from reaching the besieged Byzantine capital of Constantinople. |
