Çatalca is a district of Istanbul located in East Thrace on the ridge between the Marmara and the Black Sea. The Ballıgerme Su kemeri, İnceğiz Mağaraları, and Behçet Bey Çeşmesi stand among its historical sites, while several mosques including Alipaşa Cami and Dağyenice Camii serve the local communities. Weekend hiking and picnics draw families from Istanbul to this predominantly rural district of farmers and vacation home owners.
