Esenler, Administrative district on the European side of Istanbul, Turkey
Esenler extends across 43 square kilometers of urban landscape, accommodating over 445,000 residents within its 17 distinct neighborhoods and residential zones.
The district originated from two farming villages called Litros and Avas during the Ottoman period, where Greek farmers cultivated land until the 1923 population exchange.
Following the Greece-Turkey population exchange of 1923, Turkish immigrants from Macedonia established new communities and traditions in the district.
The district contains the main intercity bus terminal of European Istanbul, connecting travelers to destinations throughout Turkey with regular departures.
Esenler maintains the historical Davut Pasha Barracks and Hunkar Kasri pavilion, which represent military and administrative structures from the Ottoman period.
