Home to Sabiha G\u00f6k\u00e7en International Airport.  Population is 711,894. It also neighbours Sultanbeyli, Sancaktepe and \u00c7ekmek\u00f6y from northwest, \u015eile from north and Gebze from northeast.History[edit]There are records of settlements in Pendik going back to 5,000 years ago, a Greek settlement in 753 BC, and many more conquests. In 1080, the town was taken over by the Seljuk Turks, and recaptured by the Byzantines in 1086 and so on. During the Byzantine era, the place was called Pantikion or Pentikion, and before that Pantikap[a]ion in Greek (as the town had five walls, or five gates, or both). Pendik was always a retreat from the city, and by the 20th century was peppered with holiday and weekend homes of Istanbul’s wealthy. It was part of Kartal district till 1987. Tuzla was separated from it in 1992. Pendik had present borders with return boroughs of G\u00fczelyal\u0131 and Esenyal\u0131 (now divided between G\u00fczelyal\u0131, Orhangazi, Esenyal\u0131, Fatih and Ahmet Yesevi ones) from Tuzla in 1994.Pendik today[edit]  Dumankaya mosque in Bat\u0131 neighbourhoodUntil the 1970s Pendik was a rural area, far from the city. Today Pendik is a crowded mix of working class housing (especially further towards the E5 motorway) with more expensive apartments with sea views along the coast. There is a busy shopping district (with a large street market on Saturdays), restaurants and movie theaters.Pendik is far from downtown Istanbul. It is served by Marmaray suburban trains.  Since 25 July 2014, high-speed services to Ankara start from this station, pending termination of the upgrades on the line to Istanbul proper. In 2016, an extension of the M4 line of the Istanbul Metro was completed. The Pendik metro station is located about 1 kilometre (0.62\u00a0mi) north of the railway station.The coastal road is fast but does not carry public transport, except for the bus 16A which only runs until 8pm and the Kadikoy-Bostanci-Pendik dolmus. There is road construction going on in the Pendik\/Tuzla\/Gebze region, which has seen industrial development in the 1990s.Over the centuries, Bosniaks have migrated to Turkey, with a large number arriving after the Austro-Hungarian campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878. Many settled in the Pendik boroughs of Sapanba\u011flar\u0131, Ye\u015filba\u011flar and Bah\u00e7elievler. Apart from naming their streets and shops after their village in Bosnia, these people have blended into the Istanbul working-class lifestyle of the rest of Pendik.In the late 1990s two private educational institutions were built inland from Pendik, Ko\u00e7 \u00d6zel Lisesi and Sabanc\u0131 University. The area has a Formula One racetrack. There is a high-speed boat across the Marmara Sea to Yalova for people travelling out of the city to Bursa and the Aegean. Sabiha G\u00f6k\u00e7en airport is near.And currently mayor is Ahmet Cin from AK Parti.Climate[edit]Pendik experiences a borderline Mediterranean climate (Csa\/Cs) and a humid subtropical climate (Cfa\/Cf) according to both K\u00f6ppen and Trewartha climate classifications, with cool winters and warm to hot summers. A warm district, it is in USDA hardiness zone 9a and AHS heat zone 4, allowing the cultivation of certain cold-hardy subtropical plants.[3] While in southern Istanbul, it is still affected by Foehn winds, because of its position north of the highlands in Yalova.Climate data for Kurtk\u00f6y, IstanbulMonthJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDecYearRecord high \u00b0C (\u00b0F)19.5(67.1)23.8(74.8)24.4(75.9)28.7(83.7)34.3(93.7)36.7(98.1)37.4(99.3)36.4(97.5)37.7(99.9)34.7(94.5)26.2(79.2)21.7(71.1)37.7(99.9)Average high \u00b0C (\u00b0F)9.3(48.7)10.0(50.0)11.8(53.2)16.9(62.4)21.7(71.1)26.2(79.2)28.5(83.3)28.3(82.9)25.1(77.2)19.9(67.8)15.7(60.3)11.7(53.1)18.8(65.8)Daily mean \u00b0C (\u00b0F)6.1(43.0)6.7(44.1)8.0(46.4)12.4(54.3)16.8(62.2)21.0(69.8)23.3(73.9)23.3(73.9)20.3(68.5)15.9(60.6)12.1(53.8)8.5(47.3)14.5(58.2)Average low \u00b0C (\u00b0F)2.8(37.0)3.3(37.9)4.1(39.4)7.8(46.0)11.8(53.2)15.8(60.4)18.1(64.6)18.3(64.9)15.4(59.7)11.8(53.2)8.4(47.1)5.3(41.5)10.2(50.4)Record low \u00b0C (\u00b0F)\u22127.6(18.3)\u22123.5(25.7)\u22123.3(26.1)\u22120.1(31.8)6.7(44.1)11.3(52.3)14.6(58.3)14.9(58.8)9.3(48.7)6.1(43.0)0.3(32.5)\u22122.9(26.8)\u22127.6(18.3)Average precipitation mm (inches)97.5(3.84)79.8(3.14)64.0(2.52)55.9(2.20)52.0(2.05)46.4(1.83)24.0(0.94)43.4(1.71)58.3(2.30)59.9(2.36)62.6(2.46)88.6(3.49)732.4(28.84)Average precipitation days (\u2265 0.1 mm)181614121194710121417144Average snowy days (\u2265 0.1 cm)2310000000017Mean monthly sunshine hours63.680.8123.1170.0226.3266.6279.8265.8199.5158.5104.672.02,010.6Mean daily sunshine hours2.12.83.95.67.38.89.08.66.75.13.42.35.5Percent possible sunshine21253243525860615546342643Source: [4][5][6][7]Twin cities[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Wikimedia Commons has media related to Pendik."},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/pendik-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Pendik – Wikipedia"}}]}]
