İstinye is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Sarıyer, Istanbul Province, Turkey.^[1] Its population is 15,721 (2022).^[2] It is on the European side of the city. It is located between the neighbourhoods of Emirgan and Yeniköy, on the northwestern shore of the Bosporus strait. It is one of the finest seashore locations on the Bosporus where people walk around during the weekends. İstinye is famous for its cafés and seafood restaurants. A small bay is also among the things that make İstinye a preferred location to visit.

In classical antiquity it was the site of a town called Lasthenes,^[3] which was later renamed as Leosthenion (Greek: Λεωσθένιον), corrupted to Sosthenion (Greek: Σωσθένιον) during the Middle Ages.^[4] The village was the site of the Michaelion, a famous church and monastery dedicated to St. Michael in Byzantine times.^[5]
