Getting around this stretch
There is no metro along the Bosphorus shore; you get here mainly by bus, dolmuş (shared minibus) and the roads coming from Beşiktaş. Allow for traffic when you plan the trip from central Beşiktaş. The coastal road is busy on weekends and summer evenings; if you are coming by car, ask about parking in advance.
