Bebek ist ein historisches Istanbuler Viertel, das innerhalb der Grenzen und Verwaltung des Bezirks Beşiktaş liegt. Es liegt an der Bebek-Bucht entlang der europäischen Küste des Bosporus und ist von ähnlich wohlhabenden Vierteln wie Arnavutköy und Etiler umgeben.

Arnavutköy (meaning "Albanian village" in Turkish) is a historic neighbourhood in Istanbul, Turkey renowned for its wooden Ottoman mansions and seafood restaurants, as well as the campus of the prestigious Robert College with its historic buildings. It is part of the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul, and is located between Ortaköy and Bebek on the European shoreline of the Bosphorus strait.

Beylerbeyi is a neighborhood in the Üsküdar municipality of Istanbul, Turkey. It is located on the Asian shore of the Bosporus, to the north of the Bosphorus Bridge. It is bordered on the northeast by the neighborhood of Çengelköy, on the east by Kirazlıtepe, on the southeast by Küplüce, on the south by Burhaniye, on the southwest by Kuzguncuk, and on the northwest by the Bosporus. Directly across the Bosporus is the Ortaköy neighborhood of Istanbul's Beşiktaş municipality.

Seen from a Bosphorus river cruise, this grand building stands out from all directions. A lovely waterfront area, this is a military school built in 1860.
