Yeşilköy is a seaside neighbourhood in the district of Bakırköy, on the Sea of Marmara about 11 km west of the historic peninsula. Until 1926 it was called San Stefano (Ayastefanos), and the treaty that ended the Russo-Turkish war was signed here in 1878. Until Istanbul's population boom in the 1970s it was a quiet coastal village and summer resort, and it is still known as a low-rise, well-kept and affluent neighbourhood. Yeşilköy Marina and the shore road form its social spine. Atatürk Airport, closed to scheduled flights and now used for private aviation, also lies within Yeşilköy.

Istanbul Airport is 51 km away, about 44 minutes. The two airports sit at opposite ends of the city, so the drive runs from the north down the western edge to the south-west coast. Morning and evening congestion on the D100 can stretch the journey. On public transport the neighbourhood has its own Yeşilköy Marmaray station, linking it with Bakırköy and Yenikapı to the east and Halkalı to the west. Arriving at Sabiha Gökçen adds considerably to the time, as it requires crossing from the Asian side.

What to expect on arrival: the centre of Yeşilköy keeps its old village layout, with narrow streets between low houses, many of them one-way and lined with residents' parked cars. Most of the small hotels and guesthouses occupy buildings of that scale, and there is often no forecourt, so the driver stops only long enough to unload. The shore road and the area around the marina fill with cars and pedestrians at weekends and on summer evenings; at those times giving a back-street address rather than the seafront usually gets you dropped off faster.
