Highlights of Beykoz
Beykoz is the largest district on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, and much of its area is forest. It stretches from historic waterside villages such as Anadoluhisarı, Kanlıca, Çubuklu and Paşabahçe all the way to Riva and Poyrazköy on the Black Sea. Polonezköy, founded by Polish émigrés in the 19th century, also lies within its borders. Kanlıca's yoghurt, the fish restaurants of Anadolu Kavağı and the leafy groves make it a favourite weekend escape. Visitors generally want a nature-filled stay away from the city, are booked into boutique hotels and waterside mansions, or are attending weddings and receptions. The coast road is two-lane and winding, so traffic moves slowly, especially between Kavacık and Beykoz in the evening and at weekends. Roads to the forest villages are narrow and only partly lit.
