Other walks close to Bebek.

Sorted by distance from the start of bebek to arnavutköy: the yalı sahil. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Three-hour Turkish breakfast under the plane tree, then a sahil walk south to Beylerbeyi Palace.

The Çarşı, the fish market, a Sinan mosque, then up the hill to the sultan's imperial gardens.

Synagogue, two churches, mosque — all on one street, with the Bosphorus at the end.

Two ferries, a palace, and a seafront walk that ends with a view of the bridge framing a mosque dome.
