Stroll by the Bosphorus
The Moda Sahili (Moda Seaside) is perfect for strolling by the Bosphorus and looking out over Istanbul from a different angle. You’ll see locals riding their bikes or jogging here, no matter the time of day, but on weekends, the tea garden is always full of people who enjoy the view from a shady spot under the trees.

No:29 General Asım Gündüz Cd.In Turkey, the tea garden, or çay bahçesi, is the most popular gathering place for locals who want to get together for a conversation or catch-up over a never-ending stream of tiny cups of Turkish tea. One of the most famous tea gardens in Istanbul is the Moda Tea Garden, a waterfront tea garden in Kadikoy with lots of large trees to provide shade, and glimpses of the Marmara Sea below. The Moda Tea Garden is very large, so even if you don’t see a waterfront table when you enter, keep walking further and further into the gardens and you’re likely to find a front-row seat somewhere!

Kadikoy’s most famous museum used to be the Florence Nightengale Museum (near the Haydarpasa Train Station) but with reports that it is now permanently closed, there’s all the more reason to check out one of Kadikoy’s more unique museums: the Baris Manco Museum. Baris Manco was a Turkish musician in the 1970s and 1980s (check out one of his videos here) who pioneered Turkish rock and hosted a Turkish television program for children. He passed away in his house in 1999, and a few years later the building was reopened as a museum celebrating his life and works.

With past lives as an iron sculptor workshop and painters studio, this three-storied Anatolian mansion has been reborn as an elegant new restaurant-slash-cocktail-bar. Its creative spirit endures thanks to an experimental drinks menu and eclectic décor of mid-century furniture, art deco detailing and lashings of petrol blue and dusky pink velvet. Bow-tied barmen whip up hot pomegranate margaritas and pumpkin spice espresso martinis at its ceramic-tiled bar, whilst upstairs, a stylish crowd dig into sharing platters like topik, a traditional Armenian meze. Feeling adventurous? Order the grilled lamb intestines with chilli pepper jam, and (for added kick) their ‘Oh Eliza’ cocktail, blended with Jalapeno-infused Tequila.

1 Sakız Sk.Ten years passed between my first meal at Ciya Sofrasi in Kadikoy and my most recent two visits, and it’s just as good as I remember. Specializing in regional, rural and historic Turkish recipes, you can make like me and load up on appetizers (meze) or you can order a proper multi-course Turkish meal (including both meat and vegetarian options for your main dish). There are two locations on the same block and the only difference is the ambiance. If you’re like me and prefer to sit outside, people-watching in Kadikoy, make your choice based on which table has the best view!

Take in a Turkish Football Match
This is the home stadium for Istanbul’s popular Fenerbahçe football team (soccer, if you’re joining me from North America!), with space for more than 50,000 fans to watch the game. While I didn’t attend a football game myself, it’s easy to pick up tickets online during the football season. I’m writing this during the Coronavirus shut-down, but my understanding is that when things get back to normal it should also be possible to book a stadium tour if you’re very interested in the building or the football club’s history.

In a large, renovated Turkish-style house on a cobbled back-street, Sarnıç has lovingly decorated and furnished rooms (all six of them), famously friendly staff, an excellent location and a well-regarded restaurant with free-flowing raki and meze and, on occasion, live music.

Another venture from the people behind Arkaoda, Havuz/Bina is a four-floor social hub: in the basement there’s an excellent bar with a charming water feature; the ground floor is a restaurant, upstairs is Havuz, a bar and music venue owned by the urban culture, arts and music magazine Bant Mag. On the top floor, there are film screenings, talks and smaller-scale gigs. This is another of the places that keeps Kadife Sokak so interesting, despite the sometimes stressful volume of people lining the street at weekends.

Grab a Coffee at an Iconic Coffeeshop
I feel like it’s cheating to list “drink tea” and “drink coffee” as two separate items on this list, but I’m going to exercise some restraint by not listing “drink beer” as a separate item, so there’s that. Kadikoy and Moda are known for their coffee scene, with some of the city’s top coffee shops dotted around their streets. I am not a coffee aficionada so I went for the kitsch option at Walter’s Coffee Roastery, a Breaking Bad-themed cafe that is well equipped for digital nomads to spend a few hours getting work done. If you are more concerned about the origins of your beans than the WiFi speed, Montag Coffee and Coffee Manifesto are both good options. If I’m not working, I always prefer to grab a seat outside, as this really is the perfect part of the city for people-watching!
