Kireçburnu is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Sarıyer, Istanbul Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 6,888 (2022).[2] It is located on the northern shore of Bosphorus at European side.[3] It is to the north of İstanbul centre with a distance over 15 kilometres (9.3 mi).
During the Byzantine Empire era Kireçburnu was a village named Kleidai tou Pontou. It means the Key of Pontus.[4] The reason for this is that Kireçburnu is the first place where you see the Black Sea when you go north from Istanbul.[5]
During the construction of Rumeli Castle by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II, the limekilns in the village were used as the construction material of the castle.[6] Turkish for lime is kireç and for cape is burun; eventually the village was called Kireçburnu. As the urban fabric of İstanbul expanded Kireçburnu became a neighborhood of the city.
Kireçburnu is bordered by Tarabya in the south. The neighborhood is well known for its fish food restaurants.
