Film set The place with its historical mansions, churches, synagogues and mosques, cobblestone paved streets, plane trees and vegetable gardens, attracts film makers as a natural film set.

The residents, however, are not pleased with the continuous discomfort caused by the shootings day and night. Restaurants Kuzguncuk is popular for its seafood restaurants.
