Bebek Coast Marina

Tucked along the Bosphorus shoreline in Bebek — one of Istanbul's most upscale and photogenic neighborhoods — this marina puts you right in the heart of a strip lined with cafés, waterfront restaurants, and the leafy Bebek Park, which dates back to 1908. The setting is hard to beat, with views across the strait and the relaxed energy of a wealthy local enclave rather than a tourist-heavy port. Yahya Kemal Caddesi runs right along the water, so you're steps from some of the city's best people-watching and a short drive from central Beşiktaş.
