Beykoz

A district of Istanbul along the northern Bosphorus on the Anatolian side, Beykoz has a walkable centre with a concentration of cafés, restaurants, and historic churches. The district stretches from the streams of Küçüksu and Göksu near Anadoluhisarı to where the Bosphorus opens into the Black Sea, with forested hinterland reaching inland toward the Riva creek. Several UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider Istanbul region.
