Istanbul unofficially separated two parts by people living there ;
European part and the
Asian part. Asian part of Istanbul comparatively to European part is less crowded and less
historical however wide streets , gardens more comfortable living spaces, places ,
easier city transportation and cheaper shopping facilities make asian part
of Istanbul more attractive and livable.

Kadikoy district is the symbolic capital town of the asian part of
Istanbul whilst the main settlements formed in here. Kadikoy
carsi | shopping center | is the only place left intact have been always a very
lively and dynamic part of asian side started
to be the culture and fun centre with continuous
developments , numerous restaurants ,
bars and clubs . Beyoglu located in european side was the only place in past
for a colourfull and funny night yet people
living in asian side today do not have to go there whilst kadikoy carsi offers the same fun to them.
