Sarıyer is the last district on the most northern part of the European side of İstanbul.
The Sarıyer district is comprised of the villages on the European shores of the Bosphorus from Rumelifeneri, down through Tarabya, Yeniköy, İstinye, Emirgan and Rumelihisarı. Sarıyer also administers the Black Sea coast to the west of the mouth of the Bosphorus including the village of Kilyos.
These were all once fishing villages but now house many expensive villas owned by many of İstanbul's rich businessmen, actors and musicians.
The centre of Sarıyer has a small harbour where fishing is still practiced and a long line of famous fish restaurants, cafés and bars, where many of İstanbul's city residents come to eat and drink at the weekends. Many of the restaurants are owned by famous musicians, who sometimes put on live shows for customers.
Places of interest along this side of the Bosphorus include Rumelihisarı, The Sakıp Sabancı Museum, Sadberk Hanım Museum and any number of wooden seaside houses (yalı). The waterways through the Belgrade forest are another important piece of historical architecture in the area.
