Natural and Historical Places to Visit with Scooter on the Anatolian Side of Istanbul

Istanbul has unique places to visit and see in all four seasons of the year. Places where naturalness stands out intertwined with the blue of the Bosphorus, historical places bearing the traces of centuries fascinate those who see them. Especially interest in areas suitable for traveling by electric scooter is increasing. With the scooter, which is an environmentally friendly and free means of transportation, there are beautiful places you can visit on the Anatolian side of Istanbul. Let’s look at the places you can explore with an e-scooter on the east side of Istanbul.

Fashion beach

Kadıköy is one of the most important stops on the Anatolian Side with its colorful streets and energizing structure every moment of the day. Moda beach is the choice of those who want to spend time in a spacious environment in Kadıköy. With its wide strip, Moda beach is one of the ideal places for those who want to enjoy a scooter ride on the Asian side of Istanbul. Especially in the summer months, Moda is frequented by street artists and young people, so it is the first stop on the route!

Caddebostan

Caddebostan is a wonderful area starting from Moda and stretching for kilometers. For those who want to get away from the chaos of the city, the Caddebostan coast line is also ideal for scooter riding. You can have a good time with your electric scooter against the view of the islands. Bagdat Street, which is just behind it, offers great options for those who want to take a break from scooters and do some shopping or sit in a nice cafe.

Salacak

Salacak is a quiet and beautiful area in Üsküdar, a region of the Anatolian Side that stands out with its unique texture. Salacak, which includes the coastal line between Üsküdar square and Harem, is also directly opposite the Maiden’s Tower. Salacak is a good line for scooter riding and you can get lost in the historical silhouette of Istanbul while breathing the sea air. Being close to Marmaray station is another plus of Salacak.

Kuzguncuk

Kuzguncuk, the decent neighborhood of Üsküdar, is among the beautiful places to ride scooters on the Asian side of Istanbul. Colorful houses with wooden architecture, tea gardens and centuries-old trees are among the things that come to mind when Kuzguncuk is mentioned. The district, where the friendly neighborhood culture continues in Istanbul, takes only 10 minutes from Üsküdar by scooter.

Anadolu Hisari

The Bosphorus air is of course best enjoyed on a scooter! Anadolu Hisarı, located in a dominant position at the narrowest point of the Bosphorus at 600 meters, has a history of more than 600 years. The line between Kanlıca and Kandilli in front of Anadolu Hisarı is among the beautiful places to ride a scooter in Beykoz. While enjoying the fresh air and Bosphorus view with your scooter, you can sit on the benches and relax among the citizens fishing.

Islands

One of the corners of Istanbul where Istanbulites breathe and mesmerize with its natural beauty, Adalar is a place we can reach with a ferry ride of about 1 hour from Kadıköy. Although Adalar was famous for its phaetons in the past, now only bicycles and electric scooters are available. You can have a good time among the streets adorned with colorful flowers, centuries-old sycamores and colorful Adalar houses. Be sure to add exploring Buyukada, Heybeliada and other islands on your scooter to your bucket list!

Sile

One of the most special addresses on the Anatolian side is Şile. Although it is right next to the city, Şile is a district of Istanbul that does not look like Istanbul because of its structure intertwined with the Black Sea and its unspoiled nature. You can have a great time with your e-scooter while traveling through the streets of Şile and Ağva, which is connected to Şile. Şile, where the smell of the sea mixes with the freshness of green, is one of the places that those who want to ride scooters should add to their route.

Tuzla Coast

Tuzla, the last point of the coastline on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, is among the prominent places to ride scooters. In Tuzla, which is also frequently preferred by those living in nearby districts such as Kartal and Pendik, there are beautiful areas where you can ride scooters with pleasure in Marina and other areas.
