Kadıköy Unmissables

Kadıköy, on Istanbul’s Asian side, centers around the historic Haydarpaşa Terminal and bustling ferry docks. The district features the 14-kilometer-long Bağdat Avenue for shopping and the vibrant Kadıköy Market. Cultural highlights include the Süreyya Opera House, the Haldun Taner Stage, and the memorial house of musician Barış Manço. Landmarks like the bronze Bull Statue mark busy intersections, while the Moda neighborhood offers green coastal parks and seaside promenades. Culinary traditions are preserved at local institutions like Çiya Sofrası, which serves regional Turkish dishes.
