An
afternoon in Bosphorus with İngilizceCi expertise |
|
|
|
|
No matter how
beautiful
the nature is,
a visitor should
taste fish and
new raqı (ouzo)
to fully
enjoy Bosphorus.
Do not leave
Istanbul without
such a memorable
experience.
Warning:
Raqi is diluted
with water before
consumption |

This
strait is 32 kilometers long. But its width varies from 500
meters to
3 kilometers.The
Ottomans controlled the Bosphorus by two castles.
Normally the two castles were built at a narrow point facing
each other
to prevent incoming help to Constantinople.It is most visible
where
Europe meets Asia at this geographical part of the world.
There are two
suspension
bridges which connect the two continents. |

In
ancient Greek, bous is cow and poros is crossing place.
Both make Bosphorus,which means the place where the
cow crossed. Io had an affair with Zeus. Thus Zeus was
unfaithful
to his wife Hera. To make up for this He turned
his lover into a cow. This cow travelled to East across
Bosphorus.Bosphorus
has a rich military history. Byzas
were one of the earliest to be present in the region. Later
Ottomans would cross the water strip every Jihad season.
In WW I Bosphorus eyewitnessed many military campaigns.

Turks
usually form crowds at Ortaköy seaside or
Salajak promenade at the weekends. Kanlıca and Sarıyer is
also full of Turks enjoying the beauty and grandeur of Boğaziçi.
Tarabya -Therapeia-is popular at nights with its costly
restaurants, where local celebrities sing and raqı is consumed
with fish. Arnavutköy is also packed with anglers and strollers
.
Since private ownership invades the most there is little to
enjoy
on the Asian coastline. Beylerbeyi,Kuzguncuk, Çubuklu and
Beykoz are some of the few areas which offer relief gaps to
pedestrians roaming on the coast. |

|
|
In
good old days Ortaköy used |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
to
be a peaceful student resort.But
Today people flood to
the Sunday Market Populate the bars and cafes.
Baked Potatoes are very popular which come with at
least a dozen toppings which may vary from various
vegetables like carrots, peas etc.to meat products like
sausages, salami and special local sauces, salads
and creams.

It
is the last stop on a Bosphorus trip. Once you are there don't
waste time at the fish
restaurants as you have only two hours, rush uphill to the castle,
for a perfect view
of Bosphorus leading to Black Sea. If starving buy a fish or
mussel sandwich from
a take away shop ( $ 2.- approx ). |
