Maltepe sits on the Sea of Marmara between Kadıköy and Kartal. Its best feature for parents is the coast: a wide strip of reclaimed parkland with cycle paths, lawns and playgrounds that runs for kilometres. A stroller rental in Maltepe makes sense almost by itself here, because that path is made for wheels.
Where to walk
- Maltepe seaside park: flat, wide and busy at sunset. Bring a sun hood in summer; shade is limited.
- Bağdat Avenue's eastern end: smooth pavements and cafés towards Bostancı.
- Dragos and İdealtepe: green but steep streets; better in a carrier.
Trains and metro
The Marmaray has several stops in the district, including Küçükyalı, İdealtepe, Süreyya Plajı, Maltepe and Cevizli, all with lifts. It takes you under the Bosphorus to Sirkeci. The M4 metro runs inland, parallel to the coast, towards Kadıköy.
Stroller rental Maltepe: picking the right model
For long seaside walks, a full-size stroller with good suspension is the most comfortable. If you plan many train trips to the old city, choose a travel stroller that folds quickly. Toddlers who are tired of sitting love a stroller wagon on the flat coast path. Visiting family? Add a car seat.
