Moda, Kadıköy

Moda is a locality in Kadıköy, Istanbul, Turkey. It is located on a peninsula between the center of Kadıköy and the Kurbağalıdere creek on the Anatolian part of Istanbul. The place became an outstanding residential area only after the 1870s, when wealthy non-Muslims settled down there by building their own mansions.

It is a multi-cultural place with Armenian, Greek and Anglican church buildings, Georgian art house, theatres, French Lycée Saint-Joseph (1870) Kadıköy Anatolian High School (1955), old curiosity shops, fish and international food restaurants.
