Villas in Istanbul are the exception and not the norm. Whilst city centre locations have been filled with apartment buildings and skyscrapers, villa compounds are kept in the outskirts. Villas are primarily found in the Northern parts of Sariyer, Beykoz, Cekmekoy, Bahcesehir and most famously in Buyukcekmece.
