Anadolukavağı (sometimes written as Anadolu Kavağı) is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Beykoz, Istanbul Province, Turkey.

It is directly across from Rumeli Kavağı, the Greek or European control post on the other side of the Bosphorus.

Anadolu Kavağı was originally called Hieron (Ancient Greek: ἱερόν) and was an important outpost for the Romans and the Byzantines.

[3] It has been suggested that in the past some villagers acted as 'wreckers', lighting fires to disorient ships and ground them in the narrow Strait so that they could seize their cargo.

Others claim that Anadolu Kavağı served as a refuge where trade ships could shelter from storms.
