If you feel like eating around the same table with different people and making new friends, Delimonti, with its Turkish food and a big ”community table”, is the place to go.

The Galata Tower traces its origins back to the 6th century; however, its current appearance can be credited to a 1960s restoration, which rebuilt the remarkable copula after almost a hundred years without a top. According to the Seyahatname of Ottoman historian and traveller Evliya Çelebi, Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi flew as an early intercontinental aviator using artificial wings for gliding from this tower over the Bosphorus to the slopes of Üsküdar on the Anatolian side, nearly six kilometres away in 1632.
The Maiden’s Tower is located 150-200 meters off the shore of the Salacak district in Üsküdar. Although it is not definite as to when the Maiden’s Tower was built, the tower’s architectural style is said by some sources to be from around 340 BCE. Previous names of the Maiden’s Tower were Damalis and Leandros. Damalis is the name of the wife of the king of Athens, Kharis. When Damalis died, she was buried on the shore, and the name Damalis was given to the Tower. It was also known during Byzantine times as “arcla” which means “a little castle”. After the conquest of Istanbul by the Ottoman Turks, the tower was pulled down and a wooden tower was constructed in its place. The wooden tower was destroyed by a fire in 1719. It was rebuilt from stone once again by the head architect of the city, Nevşehirli Damat İbrahim Paşa. The cone-capped part of the tower was taken away and a kiosk fitted with glass replaced it. The Maiden’s Tower has been used for many different purposes over time, such as a tax collection area from merchantman, a defense tower, and a lighthouse. During the cholera epidemic in 1830, it was used as a quarantine hospital and radio station. During the Republic Period, it was again used as a light house for a little while. The tower has undergone renovations and presently functions as a restaurant open to the public owned by a private company.
The famous café entitled with the name of Pierre Loti, a famous French writer, is reached on getting to this ridge on which the perfect view of Golden Horn can be watched. The real name of Pierre Loti, who lived in Istanbul for a long time and was a real Istanbul lover, was Julien Viaud. The historical café is the most ideal place to watch this mentioned view. It is said that Pierre Loti used to come this café often, named as “Rabia Kadın Kahvesi” in those years, and write his novel “Aziyade” overlooking Golden Horn. Today, this district, still kept as an original Turkish settlement by being restorated, consists of many spaces serving as a tourist facility. The district is also mentioned in Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatname as “Idris Köşkü Mesiresi”. There are many historical artifacts and building in Pierre Loti, commonly visited by tourists and travelers who come to Istanbul in 19th century. From Eyüp to Pierre Loti, you can use cable car service which lasts for 3 minutes and operates daily from 8 am until 11 pm.
Kadıköy Fish Market is a large market where you can find all kinds of fresh fish and seafood. There are also greengrocers, delis, pickle sellers and dried fruit and nut sellers at the fish market. It is a place definitely worth visiting to take few photos. Unlike the European side, Moda is a quiet haven, where locals walk down towards the seaside to have a meal at one of the cafés and restaurants or to take a walk by the Bosphorus.

The Bosphorus is the famous salt-water strait separating the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, and varies in width from less than a mile to over two miles. The strait connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and so is an important waterway for international shipping; it’s also used by the ferries that cross from one side of the city to the other. You can take a Bosphorus tour all the way up to Anadolu Kavağı, at the entrance to the Black Sea – a great way to see the numerous “yalı”s (waterside mansions) that line both sides of the strait. See www.plantours.com for information on private boat tours or www.sehirhatlari.com.tr for municipal ferry information.
Built in the early 17th-century, Sultan Ahmet Camii is known to foreigners as the Blue Mosque on account of the more than 20,000 blue-white-red İznik tiles that adorn its interior. Its large dome is supported by four thick columns known as “elephants’ feet.” The mosque’s six minarets (a rarity in Turkey as elsewhere) are an integral part of the Istanbul skyline, and can be seen from many parts of the city. The mosque grounds include other historical buildings such as a medrese (religious school) as well as the tomb of the mosque’s patron, Sultan Ahmet I, who died at the young age of 27. To get here, simply take the tram to the Sultanahmet.
