Ortaköy is wedged between the Bosphorus and the coastal road. This former fishing village, now a district of the city, has retained a certain charm thanks to its maze of pedestrian lanes and colourful houses. After visiting the small and harmoniously designed 19C mosque, why not stop in a tea house or a fish restaurant? In the evening, the city's wealthy youth is drawn to its bars and clubs and on Sundays, a small flea market makes a popular outing.
