Moda Coastal Park

Among the most beloved social spaces in Kadıköy, the sweeping Moda Coastal Park offers beautiful views of the Marmara Sea in addition to the historical peninsula, which gleams at night. Hundreds if not thousands of young locals can be seen sipping beers and having picnics on the grass when the weather permits, while the rocky areas at the very edge of the shore provide an unbeatable night-time hangout spot and a cheaper alternative to paying bar prices. Vendors frequently pass by selling sunflower seeds, snacks, water, and sometimes beer.
