With 1 rental company, it's a local option for residents in southern Kadıköy. Bağdat Caddesi – Istanbul's finest shopping street – runs directly through the area.
Fenerbahçe Park with its marina and Moda Beach are reached in 5–10 minutes' drive. The E5 motorway provides quick access south toward Sabiha Gökçen airport, 22 km away. Parking along Bağdat Caddesi is paid – choose a rental car with a small profile.
