Moda

Calm seaside peninsula with creative energy, long evening walks, and a lot of cats.

The feel

Seaside, quiet, creative. Lots of cats.

A quieter extension of Kadikoy, Moda sits on a peninsula with a seaside promenade. More residential, fewer tourists, excellent for evening walks. Close enough to Kadikoy center to walk (15 min) but feels distinctly calmer.
