About the district
Avcılar is a popular European-side district located on the Marmara coast, approximately 20 km west of central Istanbul. It is home to Istanbul University (Avcılar campus), a major Metrobus corridor and a long coastal park.
The district has benefited from the M9 metro line and ongoing redevelopment following the 1999 earthquake, with much newer, code-compliant stock now dominant.
Access and transport
Avcılar is well connected by Metrobus, metro M9 and the coastal highway.
