Sütlüce, Beyoğlu
Neighborhood in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey
Sütlüce is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Beyoğlu, Istanbul Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 12,736 (2022).[2] It is on the eastern bank of the Golden Horn. It faces Eyüp, one of Istanbul's most holy sites, across the water. Immediately north of Sütlüce are Alibeyköy and Kağıthane, once, as the Sweet Waters of Europe, renowned beauty spots on two streams that flowed into the Golden Horn. Immediately to the south is Hasköy.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries Sütlüce suffered from the decision to turn what had once been a famously beautiful area into an industrial zone. Belatedly the first two decades of the 20th century saw it redeveloped with a touristic future in mind. Its most prominent monument is the waterside Halıc Conference Centre in front of which replicas of the old caiques that used to ply the Golden Horn wait to carry tourists across to Eyüp on the opposite shore. A modern promenade leads north to Miniaturk where many of Turkey's best-known attractions have been reproduced in miniature.
The Golden Horn ferry stops in Sütlüce, connecting it with Üsküdar, Karaköy, Fener, Balat, Ayvansaray, Hasköy and Eyüp.
