One of the most fashionable Bosphorus villages, where Istanbul's well-heeled come to see and be seen at waterfront cafes. The park overlooking the strait is perfect for watching the international shipping traffic glide past. Take the 1.20pm ferry from Bebek after visiting Hıdiv Kasrı, and have lunch at one of the glamorous Poseidon, Mangerie, or Il Porto restaurants on the shore.
