Car Rental in Istanbul

Beykoz is a scenic district on the Asian side of Istanbul, located along the Bosphorus and the Black Sea, approximately 25 km northeast of Kadıköy. One rental company is available, and the district offers a relaxing contrast to the city's hectic center. The Bosphorus bridge is reached in 20 minutes and Üsküdar in 25 minutes.

Beykoz is known for its green forests, historic yalıs (wooden houses) along the Bosphorus and the village of Polonezköy (10 km inland). The Black Sea beaches at Şile are reached in 45 minutes' drive north along the D020. Drive north along the Bosphorus towards Anadolu Kavağı for fantastic views and fresh fish.

Take the D020 towards Şile for Black Sea beaches – popular in summer but quiet on weekdays. Beykoz center has limited parking, so park near the harbor. How do you get from Beykoz to the European side by car?

Via the Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge (approximately 20 km south) or Yavuz Sultan Selim bridge (approximately 15 km north), both with tolls. What nature experiences are near Beykoz? Belgrade Forest (via bridge, 40 minutes), Şile beaches (45 minutes) and Polonezköy nature park (15 minutes) are all easily accessible by car.

Is Beykoz suitable as a base for an Istanbul visit? Beykoz is best for nature lovers. For city sightseeing, Kadıköy or Beşiktaş are better bases.
