Kadikoy, My Favorite City (Mehmet AYDIN)

I`m from Turkey and my favorite place is Kadikoy in Istanbul. I`ve lived *** Kadikoy for three years. My favorite districts of Kadikoy are Bahariye and Moda. There are lots of historical buildings and mosques .
Altiyol is the most busy part of the Kadikoy that is the most familiar place because of the sculpture bull at the centre of the Altiyol, which is the symbol of the Kadikoy. People are used *** sculpture bull for give direction to each other.
Kadıköy is an older settlement than the city of Istanbul. Relics have been found going back to 3000BC, lots of historical things prove a continuous settlement from prehistoric times, through the period when this was the Greek city of Chalcedon. Following the conquest Chalcedon was put under the jurisdiction of the Istanbul courts, hence the name Kadıköy, 'village of the judge'.
When I was at university I was really enjoying my life. There are lots of cafes, markets and shopping centres in Kadikoy. You can find everything whatever you want. Theatres and cinemas everywhere and not too expensive.
People are educated and respectful to each other. Sometimes streets can be crowded even *** you can`t walk easily. I think the coast of Kadikoy is so buzzy. You can eat fresh fish while sitting next to *** sea. It is wonderful, I strongly advice you...
