About Büyükçekmece
A coastal district on Istanbul's far European side, built around a large lake and a long Marmara shoreline with beaches, parks and a celebrated Ottoman bridge.
Büyükçekmece sits on the western European fringe, so the run from Kadıköy crosses the Bosphorus by bridge — a toll applies — and pushes west for well over an hour in traffic. The district is known for its 16th-century 635-metre Mimar Sinan stone bridge, its big lake and one of Istanbul's longest seaside pedestrian paths. It draws summer beach families, walkers and history fans.
