Yalıköy (Beykoz)
Yalıköy is a neighborhood by the Bosphorus Strait in the Beykoz district of Istanbul's Anatolian/Asian side. The name is a combination of two words: yalı ("waterside house" in Greek) and köy ("village" in Turkish). Yalıköy is famous for its historic wooden Ottoman style houses overlooking the waters of the Bosphorus. A skyscraper skyline can be seen across on the other side of the Bosphorus, the business district of Maslak. People of Greek, Turkish, Albanian, and Armenian origin used to live in the area.[1] A fishing community thrives on the coast of Yalıköy.
