Moda is a quarter in Kadıköy, Istanbul, Turkey. It is located on a peninsula between the center of Kadıköy and the Kurbağalıdere creek on the Anatolian part of Istanbul.

It is a multi-cultural place with Armenian, Greek and Anglican church buildings, Georgian art house, theatres, French Lycée Saint-Joseph (1870) Kadıköy Anatolian High School (1955), old curiosity shops, fish and international food restaurants.[2]
