Hello everyone!
Today, we will bring you with us to one place which is very close from Istanbul
so if you're looking to go to a place which is inside Istanbul
but it's peaceful and where you can enjoy beautiful nature and views from this magnificent city
then keep watching this video and we will show you Anadolu Kavağı.
The full Bosphorus tours can be taken from different ports in Istanbul
but the closest one to the touristic areas is Eminonu just next to the Galata bridge.
This tour will depart every single day but only once a day and this time will be at 10 35 a.m
and takes about two hours to get to the last port.
We recommend you arriving at least 30 minutes before the boat departs to buy your ticket and get in line.
That way you can ensure a good place on the highest part of the boat to have better views of the city.
The tour will stop in different ports along the Bosphorus strait and people can choose where to get off and in.
In our case, we'll get off at the very last port.
Along the tour we'll be able to see many emblematic sites standing by the shore
such as Rumeli fortress, Ortakoy mosque, Dolmabahce Palace and many colorful villas and of course
both bridges connecting the Asian and the European continents.
Nowadays is an important fishing village along the Bosphorus strait in the district of Beykoz
in Istanbul Asian part and where we can find excellent restaurants specialized
in seafood.
Just as its name in English "Anatolian control post" many centuries ago, it used to be a controlling point
thanks to its position close to the Black Sea.
We are here walking already to Yoros castle and we have to go up the hill
from the main port where the ferry dropped us off and it may be like probably one kilometer away. You just have
to go slowly slowly because it's like going up on a hill
but the views that you will have during the the trip
will be really amazing especially for pictures
you will be able to see the beautiful nature
around here
and hopefully you will enjoy it.
This castle is also known as "Anadolu Kavagi castle" or "Genoese castle"
and it was built with the aim to control the entrance to the Bosphorus from the Black Sea.
Byzantines, Genoese and Ottomans fought over this fortification for years.
This place offers stunning views from the Bosphorus, Black sea,
both continents and the third bridge connecting Asia and Europe.
After finishing walking around the Yoros castle we have finally come to this place
and it is a restaurant which is just below the castle, here
you can find many restaurants where you can just sit and enjoy some tea
some breakfast or some other foods that you can find here and as you can see behind me as well you can have
beautiful views from the Bosphorus and both continents.
I mean seriously, this place is stunning. I recommend you coming here the views from from the castle are
outstanding, I mean, you can see
the third bridge which is the newest bridge connecting both continents and also the Black Sea
I mean remember that the Bosphorus is also connecting the Black sea with the Marmara
and it's just outstanding.
So basically if you're looking for another place
but if you don't want to go to another city outside istanbul then this is a great option for you.
You just take the ferry from Eminonu and in two hours you will be here and you can enjoy a great place
with amazing environment
peaceful and beautiful nature.
After having some tea we went back to the center and walked
through its colorful streets and found a place for enjoying some good seafood.
Don't forget that this place is very famous for the seafood.
This is a fishing little village in Istanbul and you cannot leave this place without having some seafood
In my case, I have bought some
shrimps with butter and they are really really good. You can find different type of fish
Seafood and you will definitely enjoy it so you can pick up any restaurant here
There will be all of them in the main port and most of them will have amazing views from the Bosphorus
so this is the perfect time for enjoying a great food with beautiful views.
The ferry goes back to Eminonu by 3 pm
Which gave us about two and a half hours to discover the area and eat
This was our today's video and as we told you before
if you're looking for another alternative to go to another place, which isn't too far away from
the main district of Istanbul then you can choose definitely going to Anadolu Kavagi.
It's really easy. It's very simple plus trust me, It's so relaxing.
I know some of you you're coming to Istanbul and after walking for so many days and going from place to place
sometimes it's tiring. But doing this trip you are doing two things at the same time
You are doing the full Bosphorus tour from side to side
plus you're you're going to one of the best villages in Istanbul.
