Sarıyer, District and municipality on the European side of Istanbul, Turkey

The northeastern district extends along the Bosphorus and Black Sea coast, encompassing beaches, forests, and historical neighborhoods across 177 square kilometers.

The area transformed from the ancient Greek city of Phinopolis to a location where Ottoman palace officials constructed summer residences during the 18th century.

The district features numerous fish restaurants, traditional börek shops, and waterfront cafes where locals gather for extended Turkish breakfast sessions.

The Büyükdere Avenue serves as the primary transportation route, connecting the district to central Istanbul through buses, metro lines, and ferry services.

The Belgrad Forest within Sarıyer contains ancient aqueducts and offers extensive walking trails through dense woodland near the Black Sea coast.
