Bebek Bay, Natural bay along the Bosphorus in Beşiktaş, Turkey.
The bay spans along the European shore of the Bosphorus strait, featuring a deep and wide inlet surrounded by waterfront structures.
Ottoman aristocrats established their summer residences around the bay during the 19th century, creating an elite residential district.
The Egyptian Consulate, a white Art Nouveau mansion from 1902, stands as a testament to the architectural heritage of the area.
The bay connects to Istanbul through public buses and ferries, though weekend traffic often causes delays along the coastal road.
The Kavafyan Mansion, dating from 1751, remains one of Istanbul's oldest wooden structures and overlooks the waters of the bay.
