Feneryolu is a neighbourhood in the Kadıköy district of Istanbul, Turkey.^[2] It has a population of 25,626 (2023) and covers an area of approximately 1.0 km². Located just inland from the Marmara Sea, Feneryolu is situated between the coastal neighbourhood of Fenerbahçe and the residential area of Fikirtepe. The name Feneryolu (literally "lighthouse road") is believed to refer to the historic route leading to the Fenerbahçe Lighthouse.^[3]

Modern Feneryolu is predominantly residential. The neighbourhood benefits from public transportation links, notably the Marmaray commuter rail network via its railway station and local bus services provided by İETT. Feneryolu's borders extend from the countrywide famous shopping street Bağdat Avenue to the major avenue of "Minibus Street" (Fahrettin Kerim Gökay Avenue).^[4]

Origins of Feneryolu date back to the late Ottoman period when the area served as a modest transit hub. The neighbourhood’s development was closely linked to the establishment of the Feneryolu railway station in the late 19th century. The opening of a branch railway line from Feneryolu to Fenerbahçe led to connection with the coastal resorts of Kadıköy. Over the decades, most of the simple wooden houses were demolished to make way for apartments, and Feneryolu gradually evolved into a fully residential area. It is stil possible to come across some of the old houses and mansions.^[5]
