About Beylerbeyi
Where to stay in Beylerbeyi
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
A room in Beylerbeyi buys water. The neighbourhood runs along the Asian shore of the Bosporus just north of the Bosphorus Bridge, with Ortaköy and the Beşiktaş municipality facing it directly across the strait. Kuzguncuk lies to the southwest, Çengelköy to the northeast, and either makes a fallback for anyone who finds Beylerbeyi full.
About Beylerbeyi
What are the main landmarks in Beylerbeyi?
Three entries carry Beylerbeyi on the register. The İstavroz Church is the single house of worship among them, and the 15 July Martyrs' Memorial and Hafıza 15 Temmuz are the two commemorative sites listed under the neighbourhood. The water supplies the rest.
From the shore the Bosporus opens toward Ortaköy and the Beşiktaş municipality, with the Bosphorus Bridge closing the view to the south.
What is the history of Beylerbeyi?
The İstavroz Church anchors what history the register keeps for Beylerbeyi. No founding year is attached to the neighbourhood itself, which enters the record as one of the shore settlements of Üsküdar rather than as a chartered town with a date of its own. Later entries are commemorative.
The 15 July Martyrs' Memorial and Hafıza 15 Temmuz are the later additions, and they mark the most recent layer of a list that otherwise reaches back only as far as the church.
Where is Beylerbeyi?
Beylerbeyi holds a stretch of the Asian shore of the Bosporus, bordered by Kirazlıtepe, Küplüce, Burhaniye and Kuzguncuk, with Çengelköy to the northeast.
