The map
About this Büyükçekmece map poster
Büyükçekmece lies on Istanbul’s far western shore, where a large lagoon lake opens onto the Sea of Marmara. The town’s shape follows the water. Housing wraps around the lake’s southern mouth and runs along the sea coast, and the lake itself fills a large, open space on the map, framed by hills and farmland rising to the north.
The lake is crossed by one of Mimar Sinan’s best-known bridges, completed in the 1560s for Sultan Süleyman. It is a long stone crossing of four linked sections on the old road to Edirne and the Balkans. The modern coastal highway and the European motorway run parallel to it, drawing their own lines across the water.
A Büyükçekmece map poster shows a seaside town still clearly separate from the metropolis to the east. There are coastal neighbourhoods of summer houses and apartment blocks, a small harbour, and the lake taking up much of the frame. The narrow strip of land between the lake and the sea is the natural focal point.

Sinan’s bridge
Mimar Sinan’s sixteenth-century stone bridge crosses the lake’s outlet in four linked sections, a small but historic line near the mouth.
Marmara coastline
The sea coast runs east to west along the southern edge of the town, with beaches and promenades following the shore.

Why Büyükçekmece
A map that means something
For many Istanbul families, Büyükçekmece means summer houses, weekend walks across the old bridge or a move out from the crowded centre. The map keeps the lake, the sea and the coastal streets together in one calm image.
Add your own title, a subtitle such as a date, and the coordinates line, then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. The large expanse of water works especially well in Noir.
