İstinye is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Sarıyer, Istanbul Province, Turkey. ^[1] Its population was 15,721 in 2022. ^[2] It is on the European side of the city between the neighbourhoods of Emirgan and Yeniköy, on the northwestern shore of the Bosporus strait.

In classical antiquity it was the site of a town called Lasthenes, ^[3] which was later renamed Leosthenion (Greek : Λεωσθένιον), and corrupted to Sosthenion (Greek : Σωσθένιον) during the Middle Ages. ^[4] The village was the site of the Michaelion, a church and monastery dedicated to St. Michael in Byzantine times. ^[5]
