About the district

Maltepe sits on the Asian Marmara coast, between Kadıköy/Bostancı and Kartal. It combines a long seafront park and promenade, modern mid- and high-rise residences along the coast, and family-oriented inland neighborhoods rising toward Dragos and Küçükyalı.

The M4 metro and Marmaray make it one of the easier Asian-side districts to commute from.
