Tuzla, District on the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey

Tuzla extends along the Sea of Marmara coastline at an elevation of 48 meters, forming the southeastern border of Istanbul metropolitan area.

Following the 1923 Lausanne Peace Treaty, Turkish settlers from Thessaloniki, Kavala, and Drama replaced the Greek population who previously inhabited this fishing town.

The district maintains 17 distinct neighborhoods with educational centers including the Naval Academy, Infantry School, Sabanci University, and Okan University.

The transportation network includes bus services, dolmus routes, and maritime connections, with a typical journey from Kadikoy center taking one hour.

The district contains Turkey's largest shipbuilding facilities, employing approximately 30,000 workers, representing one-sixth of the total population.
