Şişli

Şişli — One of the Most Central, Developed, and Prestigious Districts of Istanbul. Şişli is ideal for living, working, investing, and leisure. Located in the heart of Istanbul's European side, it’s known for its business centers, luxury hotels, shopping streets, historic architecture, and vibrant atmosphere. The district attracts locals, expats, investors, tourists, and students alike.

Lifestyle

Şişli offers a perfect balance between business and cultural life.
