Kadikoy is the Turkish name of Chalcedon, on the Asiatic side across from Istanbul.

Chalcedon is famous in church history as the site of the ecumenical council of 451. It was colonized by the Greeks 17 years before Byzantium. A Persian who was told that remarked that the people who colonized Chalcedon must have been blind because they didn't see that there was a much better site right across from them where Byzantium was later founded.
