This tour explores the Asian side of Istanbul, offering a contrasting perspective to the city’s historic European core. Traveling by private vehicle, the itinerary highlights residential neighborhoods, imperial waterfront architecture, panoramic viewpoints, and vibrant local districts. Crossing continents via the Bosphorus Bridge and returning through the Eurasia Tunnel, the tour illustrates Istanbul’s unique geography and modern infrastructure. From the preserved streets of Kuzguncuk to the elegant Beylerbeyi Palace, the scenic heights of Çamlıca Hill, the modern Çamlıca Tower, and the lively atmosphere of Kadıköy, this experience focuses on everyday life and landscape beyond the Old City.
The tour begins in Kuzguncuk, one of the most characterful neighborhoods on the Asian side. Known for its preserved wooden houses, narrow streets, and neighborhood culture, Kuzguncuk reflects Istanbul’s residential life away from major tourist zones. The area has long been associated with coexistence among different communities and retains a relaxed, local atmosphere.
Continue to Beylerbeyi Palace, an elegant 19th-century Ottoman palace built as a summer residence for the sultans. Located directly on the Bosphorus shoreline, the palace combines Ottoman traditions with European architectural influences. Its reception halls, terraces, and waterfront setting illustrate the ceremonial and diplomatic role of the late Ottoman court.
The route ascends to Çamlıca Hill, the highest natural viewpoint on the Asian side of Istanbul. From here, enjoy sweeping views across the Bosphorus, Historic Peninsula, and Sea of Marmara, offering a clear understanding of the city’s scale and geography.
Visit Çamlıca Tower, a modern landmark and the tallest structure in Istanbul. Designed as a telecommunications and observation tower, it features viewing platforms that provide a 360-degree panorama of the city, highlighting Istanbul’s vast urban landscape across two continents.
The tour concludes in Kadıköy, a lively district known for its markets, cafés, and cultural venues. As one of Istanbul’s most active local centers, Kadıköy offers insight into contemporary urban life on the Asian side, distinct in rhythm and character from the European districts.
