An
afternoon İn Bosphorus with İngilizce Ci 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 bepresent in the region. Later Ottomans
would cross the water strip every Jihad season.
In WW I Bosphorus eyewitnessed many military campaigns.
When you board a cruise boat you will be able to spot the
Seraglio at the South End facing the Leander's Tower,
Dolmabahçe palace where Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
passed away , the Çırağan palace now run as a hotel by
Kempinsky group the two castles; Rumelihisarı and Anadolu
Hisarı, Boğaziçi University, former Robert College,Two mosques
one in Ortaköy and the other in Üsküdar, a great number of
poshy Yalıs.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. |

still resisting to concrete. |

A
typical joke about the First bridge is
" Which
is the longest bridge in the world? "
Answer
- Golden Gate.
No, I'm sorry
it is a wrong answer.
"The correct
answer is of course the
Bosphorus Bridge"-
Why !?!?!?!?!?!?!? -
"Because
it takes 2 hours to go across
in rush hour traffic
"
:-))

This
aerial photo of Istanbul gives a great idea about
the structure of Bosphorus. On the left it is Black sea
at the time of sunrise, and Marmara sea is on the right.
Even İzmit bay is clearly visible in the photo.
On this side of the Bosphorus-i.e European side there
are three lakes Terkos; near the black sea, Küçük and
Büyük Çekmece whereas on the Asian side there is one
behind Ömerli dam. With a careful look you can easily
spot the Prince Isles offshore Bostancı. Büyükada, Heybeli,
Burgaz, Kınalı are some of them. City of old Istanbul
is situated on the triangular peninsula at the very end of
Bosphorus |
| |
|
 |
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.

During
the last
50 years
unfortunately
ugly concrete
invaded the
Bosphorus Hills |
|
| |
|
| |
Anadolukavağı |
| |
|
| |
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 ( $ 1.50 approx ).
|
| |
|
Steamships
are
an indispensable
part of Istanbul view |
 |
|
| |
|
Anadolu
Hisarı is
still a peaceful
weekend resort. |
|
|
| |
|
If
you are one
of the happy
few do not
waste time
elsewhere.
Enjoy Bosphorus
at Çırağan
Palace,Hotel Kempinsky. |
|
|
| |
|
It
is always a
good idea
to look over to Bosphorus
from the
premises of
"Hidiv Köşkü" in Kanlıca. |

The
second Bridge
on the Bosphorus.
Much was expected
from it to relieve
the traffic but it only
contributed to extend
the limits of
the city towards Asia |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
Bosphorus
inspired lots
of poets and writers
with its beauty. |
