Kadıköy at a glance
Kadıköy is one of the cultural and social hubs of Istanbul's Asian side. The seaside tea gardens and promenade of Moda, the theatres along Bahariye Caddesi and the market streets known for their fishmongers, delicatessens and spice shops give the district its character. Kadıköy also takes in the neighbourhoods around Bağdat Caddesi, such as Caddebostan and Suadiye, and ferries leave its pier regularly for Eminönü, Karaköy and Beşiktaş.
Because Kadıköy lies on the same side of the city as Sabiha Gökçen Airport, the transfer does not cross the Bosphorus. Many streets in the market area are pedestrianised, so your driver will drop you at the closest accessible point to your hotel or address. Adding the neighbourhood name, for example Moda, Caddebostan or Fenerbahçe, together with the full address in your booking helps pinpoint the right spot.
