In case you haven't noticed by now, Ortaköy is sort of our home away from home. Our apartment is about two blocks off of a larger road (Dereboyu Sokak) that connects to Ortaköy square.
We spend a lot of time at the square. That's where all the baked potato and waffle places are, and the famous mosque is there (though it is undergoing renovation, so its not much of a sight at the moment). There are markets in the square every weekend, and it's where we went to see the fireworks. The playground we frequent is also in the square, and nearby there is a place where you can feed pigeons and look out over the water. You can see the Maiden's Tower and even the Blue Mosque/Hagia Sophia from there.
I love the area at night, though it is often bustling on a weekend evening. The city and the water are just beautiful in the evening hours.
