Kumkapı — Istanbul's Hidden Fishing Quarter
Kumkapı sits right on the Sea of Marmara in Fatih's historic peninsula, known for its narrow Byzantine-era streets and colorful old Istanbul houses. The neighborhood has been home to a well-known street of fish restaurants for decades, drawing locals and visitors alike.
Despite being within walking distance of Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar, Kumkapı stays away from the tourist crowds — a quiet harbor quarter where you can experience everyday Istanbul life.
