Kadıköy (known as Chalcedon in antiquity) is a large and populous cosmopolitan district on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, Turkey, on the shore of the Sea of Marmara, facing the historic city centre on the European side of the Bosporus. Kadıköy is a residential and commercial district, and with its numerous bars, cinemas and bookshops, is the cultural centre of the Anatolian side. It became a district in 1928 when it seceded from Üsküdar. Also, the quarters of İçerenköy, Bostancı and Suadiye were separated from the district of Kartal in the same year, and eventually joined the borough of Kadıköy. Its neighbours are Üsküdar to the northwest Ümraniye to the northeast, Maltepe to the southeast and Kartal beyond Maltepe. |
