About Avcılar: Istanbul's University District by the Sea

Avcılar is a district on the European side of Istanbul, stretching along the Marmara Sea coast between Küçükçekmece and Büyükçekmece. The name itself comes from the area's past as a hunting ground — "Avcılar" means "hunters" in Turkish, a reference to the quail flocks that historically drew hunters here every autumn. What started as a scattering of small farms grew rapidly after 1970, when Istanbul's urban expansion and land development brought a wave of new residents and neighborhoods to the area.

Today Avcılar is best known as home to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa's largest campus, established in 1978, which houses faculties of engineering, veterinary science and sports science alongside student dormitories and sports facilities. Istanbul Gelişim University is also based in the district. This makes Avcılar one of Istanbul's most student-heavy areas, with a lively, youthful atmosphere and plenty of affordable cafes and shops around the campus.

Getting Around Avcılar

Avcılar sits directly on the E-5 highway and is well served by the metrobus line, with the Avcılar Merkez-Üniversite station connecting easily to both Beylikdüzü and Kadıköy. The district covers around 50 km² and is roughly 27 km from Istanbul's city center.
