Korto Istanbul
Sushi, Mediterranean and cocktails transitioning to legendary nightlife on the Bosphorus
Korto Istanbul is the see-and-be-seen destination that perfectly captures Istanbul's dinner-to-party culture. Located in Kurucesme near Galatasaray Island, this stylish venue features two distinct areas: Korto Live with its vibrant concert atmosphere and Korto Roof offering stunning Bosphorus views while you sip cocktails. Starting as an elegant sushi and Mediterranean restaurant, Korto transforms into one of the city's most energetic clubs after midnight. Originally from Alacati, Korto has become a staple of Istanbul's sophisticated nightlife scene.
