the main avenues, you will find quiet
residential districts with corner groceries
side by side with Ottoman fountains and
you can enjoy inexpensive, fulling meals

The upscale Kabatas/Ayazpasa
district of the city is a short walk from
Taksim Square in a quiet, yet very
central and convenient area. The avenue
leading to Taksim is one of the most
beautiful in the city lined with elegant
early 20th century apartment buildings
and featuring a row of towering trees in
the center divider. There are small
groceries shops and a variety of cafes
and restaurants in this area.
