I highly recommend to take the ferry from Karakoy ferry station to Kadiköy. It takes about 20 minutes with a lovely sea travel experience. Moda is a lovely neighbourhood in Kadiköy. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk to Moda from Kadiköy ferry station. Lots of coffee places around and dont forget to get ice-cream from Ali Usta.

Transporte
Don't let taxi drivers charge you more!
Do not ask the taxi drivers how much it would cost to your destination. Unfortunately many of them would charge you ten times more. Just get in the cab, make sure the taxi meter is on! This way they can't cheat.
Transporte
Istanbul Kart for public transports
If you think you will be travelling with metro or bus a lot, you can get an Istanbul kart and load money in it.
