Geyve, Administrative district in Sakarya Province, Turkey.

Geyve spans across 662 square kilometers at the foot of Geyve Gorge between mountain ranges along the Sakarya River in northwestern Turkey.

The area has experienced settlements from multiple civilizations, including Phrygians, Hittites, Lydians, Romans, Byzantines, and Turks, dating back several millennia.

The district maintains traditional Ottoman wooden architecture, particularly evident in neighborhoods where historical structures reflect regional building techniques.

Agricultural production forms the economic foundation of Geyve, with extensive cultivation of fruits such as quince, cherry, apple, peach, and grapes.

The Elvanbey Imarethanesi, constructed in 1451 as a public kitchen for travelers through Anatolia, now functions as a museum within the district.
