Bakirkoy’s main attraction is its commercial district, with contemporary shopping centers and pedestrian-friendly street shopping.  Slightly further south, you’ll discover a slew of gorgeous seafront tea gardens and stores, along with innovative restaurants and clubs.  While many of the city’s historic buildings have been replaced with new houses and businesses, the charm of Bakirkoy is still vibrantly apparent. 

Additionally, the convenience of Bakirkoy’s location makes it appealing to tourists and locals alike.  Situated on main transportation lines such as the light-railway from the airport to Aksaray, bus lines to Mecidinyekoy, and having easy ferry access to the Asian side of Istanbul, you’ll find Bakirkoy is both convenient and fun.
