Moda, located in Kadıköy along Istanbul’s Asian shoreline, is known for its lively yet laid-back atmosphere, and its waterfront area, Moda Coast, is especially popular. The neighborhood blends historic charm with youthful energy, offering cozy cafés, independent bookshops, and unique boutiques. Visitors often stroll along the seaside promenade, relax in tea gardens, or enjoy street performances. Moda Pier, restorated as a library/café, is a good place to rest and read a few pages while sipping your coffee. Saint-Joseph French High School in Moda is an elite school which created a part of the Turkish ruling class in the 19th and 20th centuries.
