About the district

Bakırköy stretches along the Marmara coast on Istanbul's European side, from Zeytinburnu to Küçükçekmece. It is home to Ataköy, Yeşilköy, Florya and Yeşilyurt, with a mix of mid-rise residences, waterfront compounds and a strong network of schools and hospitals. The district is one of the most established living areas on the European side.

Its proximity to Atatürk Airport (now closed to commercial flights but still in use as a park and cultural ground) and strong Metrobus/Metro links keep it well connected.
