Geography

History
[edit]The neighbourhood was officially formed on 22 March 2008 by merging the former Beyceğiz and Kocadede mahalleleri under Law No. 5747 on administrative reorganisation.[2] It takes its name from Hadım Atik Ali Pasha, who served twice as Grand Vizier under Sultan Bayezid II in the early 16th century.

Architecture and landmarks
[edit]Much of Atikali retains the character of a traditional Ottoman mahalle, with many 2–3‑storey wooden houses featuring projecting oriel windows.[4] The neighbourhood is also home to the Gazi Atik Ali Pasha Mosque (1496–1497), built by the same grand vizier after whom the neighbourhood is named.
Transportation
[edit]Atikali is served by several bus lines (44T, 46H) operated by Istanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi (İBB). The nearest tram stop is Balat Tramvay Durağı on the T5 line, approximately 800 m west of the neighbourhood centre.
