Life in Beykoz

What is life like here?

Where to go, what to do Ask an adviser

Beykoz, Istanbul's greenest district, offers a unique natural lifestyle with its historic groves, Bosphorus views, and luxury mansions with huge gardens.

  • Areas

    While the coastal road preserves the spirit of traditional waterfront mansions and the old fishing town, Turkey's largest villa complexes are located on the hills of Acarlar and Çubuklu.

  • Who lives here?

    Industrialists, holding executives, media bosses seeking privacy and spacious areas, and high-income groups wanting to stay intertwined with nature.

  • Transport

    It has direct connections to the FSM and Yavuz Sultan Selim bridges; the Çubuklu-İstinye car ferry is a lifesaver for crossing to the European Side.

  • Market

    Since massive forest villas and Bosphorus-front apartments are limited in supply, prices are denominated entirely in foreign currency and driven by the region's unique dynamics.
