Turkish breakfast by the water in Üsküdar
For breakfast by the sea on the Asian side, Salacak in Üsküdar is the classic choice: the morning sun comes from behind you and lights up the Maiden’s Tower and the Old City across the water.

Why go in the morning
Salacak faces west, so morning light falls on the tower and the far shore from the front. Weekday mornings are quiet; weekends get busy after 10:00.
