The financial hub of the city, Beşiktaş has become synonymous for luxury—whether it be the exclusive residences, posh boutiques, or the nightlife. This is where Istanbul’s cosmopolitan face comes to life. In the districts of Ortaköy, Bebek, Levent, and Etiler, some of the finest restaurants, clubs, and bars in the city are waiting to be discovered—most of which with superlative views, thanks to the waterfront or hilltop locations.
