Kanlıca

A charming Bosphorus neighbourhood set at the foot of the Asian leg of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge on the Üsküdar–Beykoz road. Undoubtedly the most important feature of Kanlıca is its yoghurt. Even native Istanbulites come to Kanlıca on their days off just to eat yoghurt. Made by mixing buffalo, cow and sheep milk and eaten with icing sugar sprinkled on top, Kanlıca yoghurt offers a different taste to those who come to Kanlıca. With these features, Kanlıca is a nice place for a break.

Kanlıca is a neighbourhood in the Beykoz district of Istanbul, on the Asian side of the Bosphorus. The neighbourhood's most famous feature is Kanlıca yoghurt, known for its unique taste, and the places many people visit to enjoy this yoghurt.

Kanlıca yoghurt leaves an unforgettable taste on the palate, especially when served in porcelain bowls and with fresh seasonal fruit. The yoghurt makers located among the old buildings in the neighbourhood's narrow streets offer their guests a fresh and natural taste. Combined with the clean air of the neighbourhood and the cool breeze of the Bosphorus, the yoghurt offers a pleasant experience.

Kanlıca is famous not only for its yoghurt but also for its seafood restaurants. Delicious dishes prepared with fresh fish from the Bosphorus are served to visitors at the restaurants on the neighbourhood's shore. Especially mealtimes spent enjoying fish with a Bosphorus view offer an unforgettable experience.

You can walk along the neighbourhood's shore, sit in tea gardens and spend peaceful hours with a view of the Bosphorus. You can also stroll through its narrow streets to discover the neighbourhood's historic fabric and see buildings from the old Ottoman period.
