It is located between Bağdat Avenue and the Sea of Marmara, generally in the neighborhood (mahalle) of Suadiye.
The neighborhood received its name, şaşkın bakkal ("the confused grocer"), from Ahmet Koşar, who opened a grocery store in the area in 1932, when the neighborhood was more or less empty of residents.
