Known for its Karaburun and Yeniköy beaches stretching along the coastline, Arnavutköy holds a distinct place across İstanbul for seafood. Fresh seabream caught in season is marinated only with olive oil and rock salt, then cooked over oak charcoal. You can check the precise locations of the seaside restaurants from the Harita tab. This distinguished fish of Türkiye's seas turns into a unique dinner when combined with the clean air of the district.
