Located in the Asian side of Istanbul, on the most beautiful coast of the Strait, Beykoz is neighbors with Şile, Çekmeköy, Üsküdar, and Ümraniye districts. Although it is in the center of Istanbul, within the Beykoz district’s boundaries, you feel yourself in a peaceful and quiet fishing village, away from the city’s crowd.
History
The earliest known date of settlement in Beykoz is 700 BC. During this period, the Thracians, who came by sea and made Beykoz their homeland, were the first people known to have settled in Beykoz. Thracians built fishing villages, cities surrounded by fortified castles, and various settlements. When the Thracians came to Beykoz, they named it “Amikos” based on the name of their king Amikos. Amikos is the oldest known name of Beykoz. When the region was included within the Ottoman Empire’s borders 51 years before the conquest of Istanbul, it was named Beykoz.
Beykoz, which resembles a fairy tale city with its magnificent streams, beautiful recreation areas, fertile lands, generous sea, and lush green forests, which also has a large hunting area, has an essential place in the history of the Ottoman Empire. It became one of the favorite places of the Ottoman ruling class due to its hunting grounds. Beykoz, formerly a part of Üsküdar, became a district in 1930. In Beykoz, which has grown rapidly with internal migration, the settlement is generally concentrated on the shores of the Bosphorus.

While going from the coastal road towards Beykoz, Anatolian Fortress welcomes you, and if you follow this road, you will reach the seaside where the Bosphorus and the Black Sea meet.
