Çekmeköy
Çekmeköy, in the north-east of the Asian side between Ümraniye and the forest belt, became a district in 2008 and is notably green. Villa compounds, detached houses with gardens and large wooded areas shape its character, and the Ömerli Reservoir with its surrounding countryside is not far away. Area guide ›
