İstinye Marina

İstinye Marina sits tucked into İstinye Bay on the European shore of the Bosphorus, one of the more sheltered spots you'll find along this stretch of Istanbul's coastline. It's run by İSPARK, the city's parking and marina authority, so it's well-organized and easy to deal with. The backdrop is pure Istanbul — forested hillsides, the shimmer of the strait, and the upscale İstinye Park shopping mall a short walk away if you need to stretch your legs or grab a decent meal.
