- Harem (Istanbul neighbourhood)
Harem is a neighbourhood in the Anatolian part of Istanbul, Turkey. Belonging to the Üsküdar district, it lies on the coast of the Sea of Marmara between the centres of Üsküdar and Kadiköy districts, next to Haydarpaşa Terminal.
One of the two main coach terminals in Istanbul is located in Harem. Coaches to almost all of the cities in Turkey depart from here. There is a car ferryboat terminal in Harem operated by İDO for a line to Sirkeci, which is directly across the strait.
Selimiye Barracks, best known as the place, where famous nurse Florence Nightingale cared for the wounded and infected British soldiers during the Crimean War, is situated on the highway connecting the terminals to the motorway Istanbul-Ankara (O-2).
