🇹🇷 Kadıköy, known in classical antiquity and during the Roman and Byzantine eras as Chalcedon (Χαλκηδών), is a large, populous, and cosmopolitan district in the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey, on the northern shore of the Sea of Marmara. It partially faces the historic city centre of Fatih on the European side of the Bosporus. Kadıköy is also the name of the most prominent neighbourhood of the district, a residential and commercial area that, with its numerous bars, cinemas and bookshops, is the cultural centre of the Anatolian side of Istanbul. Kadıköy became a district in 1928 when it was separated from Üsküdar district. The neighbourhoods of İçerenköy, Bostancı and Suadiye were also separated from the district of Kartal in the same year, and eventually joined the newly formed district of Kadıköy. Its neighbouring districts are Üsküdar to the north-west, Ataşehir to the north-east, Maltepe to the south-east, and Kartal beyond Maltepe.
1Kadıköy has a population of over 458,638 people. Kadıköy also forms part of the Greater Istanbul metropolitan area which has a population of over 15,519,267 people.
