Why Do Families Choose Bakırköy?
Families with children often choose Bakırköy for its safe streets, busy pedestrian areas, the nearby seafront and shopping malls only a few steps apart. The area around İstanbul Caddesi and the square feels safe for families at any time of day.
Eating out with children is easy too: fast food, Turkish home-style cooking and international cuisine are all a few minutes’ walk away.

When you travel with children, short journeys matter. One of the biggest advantages of Bakırköy is how quickly you can reach Istanbul’s most visited places.
