Pendik

Pendik, located on the eastern half of Istanbul Province, is bordered by Tuzla to the east, Kocaeli to the east, Sultanbeyli to the north, Kartal to the west, and the Marmara Sea to the south. Pendik, adjacent to Aydos, the highest peak in Istanbul, also includes within its borders the Ömerli Dam, one of Istanbul's largest water sources. The district's climate is a transition between the rainy climate of the Black Sea and the mild climate of the Mediterranean. In winter, the cold winds from the Balkan Peninsula and the rainy weather of the Black Sea have an effect on our district. Our district has a hot and dry summer climate, and a mild and semi-humid winter climate.

Pendik's economy consists of industry, commerce, agriculture, animal husbandry, tourism, and the service sector. In commerce and industry, businesses of national scale such as Pendik Shipyard and UN Ro-Ro, along with small and medium-sized industrial enterprises, contribute to the district's economy. Agricultural production is carried out in open fields (field farming) and under cover (greenhouse farming). Recently, the tourism and service sectors have also started to come to the forefront. Our district, with its connections to Sabiha Gökçen Airport, TEM, E-5, railway (YHT, Metro, Marmaray), and sea routes, is increasing its economic strength day by day.

The population of Pendik district is 743,774.
