Maltepe is one of the most comfortable coastal districts on the Asian side of Istanbul, stretching along the Sea of Marmara (Marmara Denizi) right opposite the Princes' Islands (Adalar). The district is located between Kartal (Kartal) and Kadikoy (Kadıköy). Thanks to its huge coastal park area and panoramic landscapes, Maltepe perfectly combines relaxing seaside leisure with a measured everyday life.
The main feature of the location

Closer to the sea in the quarters of Altintepe (Altıntepe) and Baglarbasi (Bağlarbaşı), active life is in full swing, featuring plenty of greenery, parks, and walking paths. As you ascend toward the hills, the district transitions into quieter residential zones such as Zumrutevler (Zümrütevler), offering stunning views of the city and the strait in a more secluded atmosphere.
Lifestyle and infrastructure
Maltepe is chosen by those who value family comfort and proximity to nature without losing touch with urban infrastructure. Large shopping malls (such as Piazza (Piazza), hospitals, universities, and cozy cafes along the promenade operate here. Transport connectivity is straightforward and convenient: the M4 metro line and Marmaray (Marmaray) commuter trains allow for quick travel to both the center of the Asian side and the European shore.
