Kendime Istanbul
Chef Ali Isik's refined seafood from acclaimed Manzara Sogut
Peninsula park, marina, and the stadium at the core of the city's football identity
The Fenerbahçe peninsula juts into the Marmara at the tip of Kadıköy, wrapping a wooded park around a historic lighthouse that has guided ships since the Byzantine era. The Fenerbahçe Marina and the adjacent Kalamış basin host hundreds of yachts and a ring of seafood restaurants that fill on summer nights. Just inland, Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium anchors one of the most passionate football identities in Turkey, turning match days into a neighborhood event.
