Tütün Hanı
Set in the picturesque courtyard of the carefully restored Tütün Hanı, this teahouse is a great place to enjoy a cheap tea and nargile. Good luck choosing between more than 40 nargile flavours. Turkish tourists love to settle in to the relaxed combo of rugs, low wooden tables and cushions, and there's live Turkish music from 7.30pm to 11pm on Friday and Saturday nights.

Dicle Şelale Cafe
Concealed in the labyrinth of lanes off busy Gazi Caddesi, this courtyard cafe is worth seeking out for its kilim-bedecked interior, sweet little waterfall, and Anatolian combo of backgammon, çay and nargile. The freshly squeezed juices are good, and the helpful owners are all too happy to pop out and grab you a kebap or sandwich if you're feeling peckish.

Hazzo Pulo Çay Bahçesi
There aren't as many traditional teahouses in Beyoğlu as there are on the Historic Peninsula, so this picturesque cobbled courtyard full of makeshift stools and tables is beloved of local 20-somethings. Order from the waiter and then pay at the small cafe near the narrow arcade entrance. The next-door cafe Grand Boulevard offers more of the same.

Lale Bahçesi
In a sunken courtyard that was once part of the Süleymaniye külliye, this charming outdoor teahouse is always full of students from the nearby theological college and İstanbul University, who come here to sit on cushioned seats under trees and relax while watching the pretty fountain. It's one of the cheapest places in the area to enjoy a çay and nargile.

Türk Ocaği Kültür ve Sanat Merkezi İktisadi İşletmesi Çay Bahçesi
Tucked into the rear right-hand corner of a shady courtyard filled with Ottoman tombs, this enormously popular tea garden is a perfect place to escape the crowds and relax over a çay and nargile. You can even score a cheap and tasty gözleme (Turkish crêpe filled with cheese, spinach or potato) here.
