Bostancı

Bostancı stretches along the Sea of Marmara coastline, forming the easternmost section of Kadıköy with a population of 33,638 residents.

The area gained prominence during the Byzantine period as a checkpoint for emperors returning from Anatolia, later housing an Ottoman guard station.

The neighborhood maintains strong educational presence with institutions like Istanbul Japanese School while offering numerous fish restaurants along its shore.

The district functions as a major transportation center, connecting multiple transit options including metro line M4, Marmaray trains, ferries, and bus services.

From its shoreline, visitors can observe five different Princes' Islands: Kınalıada, Burgazada, Heybeliada, Büyükada, and Sivriada across the Marmara Sea.
