Arnavutköy, Historic neighborhood in Beşiktaş, Turkey.
Arnavutköy extends along the European shore of the Bosphorus with wooden Ottoman mansions and waterfront buildings painted in soft pastel colors.
During the Ottoman Empire in 1468, Sultan Mehmed II brought Albanian craftsmen to pave Constantinople's streets, establishing the foundation of this settlement.
The neighborhood reflects religious diversity through its Greek Orthodox Church of Taksiarkis, Tevfikiye Mosque, and former synagogue, representing different communities.
Visitors can reach the neighborhood through regular bus services from Taksim or Kabataş, with ferries connecting it to other waterfront locations.
The area was a significant strawberry cultivation center during the Ottoman period, producing a specific variety that became rare in recent decades.
