Beykoz, Administrative district on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, Turkey

The district covers 310 square kilometers at the northern end of the Bosphorus, stretching from Küçüksu streams to the Black Sea opening.

The area, originally named Amikos after a Thracian king, served as a location for ancient sacrifices to the Twelve Olympians for safe sea passage.

The district contains three universities, including Istanbul Medipol University and Turkish-German University, shaping the educational landscape of northern Istanbul.

The district encompasses 45 neighborhoods with specific postal codes, including Anadoluhisari at 34810 and Pasabahce at 34800 for efficient mail delivery.

The local glass industry shaped the development of working-class neighborhoods, particularly around the Pasabahce factory established during late Ottoman industrialization.
