Time in Büyükçekmece and a view of walking people at the Historic Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Bridge (Magnificent Süleyman) in summertime before the Festival (Turkish: Büyükçekmece'de Zaman ve festival öncesi Tarihi Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Köprüsü üzerinde yürüyen insanların yaz mevsiminde bir görüntüsü).

Büyükçekmece is one of 39 districts in Şehr-i Istanbul Turkey on the Sea of Marmara coast of the European side, west of the province. The land around this inlet of the Sea of Marmara, has been settled, abandoned and resettled throughout history as army after army passed along the coast to Istanbul. It is thought to be the site of the Greek colony on the Marmara shore called Athyra.
