Ataköy Marina

The story

Ataköy Marina lies in the Ataköy neighbourhood of Bakırköy, on the European side of Istanbul, along Sahil Yolu, the coast road that follows the shore here. The Ataköy Marina Hotel stands at its heart, and much of what there is to do on a visit happens within its walls. Anchor Bar, inside the hotel, is an evening place for drinks that runs late into the night. Çıpa Restaurant faces the Sahil Yolu side and serves from breakfast onwards. Cloud.7, also at the hotel, appears in local guides to Bakırköy as one of the district's spots worth knowing. Between the three, a stop at the marina can run from an early meal to a final drink after dark, all within sight of the waterfront.
