Plan Kadıköy

Editorial responsibility: Elena Voss · Roavina Travel Editor

Kadıköy is a district on the Asian shore of Istanbul, facing the historic European centre across the Bosporus and overlooking the Sea of Marmara. The Süreyya Operası and Müze Gazhane stand among its cultural landmarks, while the Boğa Heykeli and several historic fountains mark its streets. The district holds little to draw a visitor with particular interests, though its parks and religious sites reflect its layered past.
