Down below the Bogazici campus is a waterfront district of Istanbul called "Bebek". Bebek in Turkish directly translates to "baby". This small area is home to many a Gucci sunglass wearing Istanbullu. It's hard to walk through Bebek and keep a straight face. The people are trying SO hard to look cool. Dressed in the latest shades of black, trophy wives in arm, they walk from one overpriced cafe to the next - or cruise the main strip in their Ferrari's and Porches (going about 5km per hour due to traffic).
The best part of Bebek, and the whole Bosphorus strip for about 15k North and South, is the wide boulevard to walk on, and the beautiful view. One of the best things to do in Istanbul is just walk along the Bosphorus from the Fatih bridge to the Bosphorus Bridge, passing through Bebek, Arnavutkoy, and Ortakoy. Go on a clear night when the Bosphorus bridge can be admired changing colours.
Although you may object to the company, Starbucks has the best location in Bebek. Get a hot beverage and sit (literally) on the water with the rest of the beautiful people, taking in the view.
