Florya

Florya is a quarter (Turkish: semt) belonging to the Bakırköy district of the greater Istanbul, Turkey.

It is located along Marmara Sea, and borders to the northeast the neighborhood of Yeşilköy, to the northwest that of Küçükçekmece.

Florya's name, according to the Byzantine scholar Michael Psellos, who found it cited in an imperial Chrysobull, comes from the Greek word "Phlorion".

[1] It is possibly derived from a certain Florus, who lived in this neighborhood during the early Byzantine age.

Also İstanbul Super Amateur League team Bakırköyspor plays its home games in Şenlikköy Stadium, which is located in Florya.
