What is the Golden River near Istanbul? Kritiy market, or Kapalicharshi
If you take the tram that goes to the other side of the Mezi and go three miles past Hagia Sophia, you won’t have to worry about getting to the next Galata town. Where better to get off at the pier in Eminenu Square and enjoy one of the most vibrant and most charming places in Istanbul. In front of us - through a fantastic landscape: the waters of the Golden Horn meet the Bosphorus and the Marmur Sea; on another plane - topped with an olive tree of the Genoese, the greenery of the forgotten Galati, and in the distance the blue Asian hills. Well, if it was blue, it would be clear :)
Before we cross the bridge to the other side, we’ll take a look at the great square of the New Mosque. Here is one of the most historical trading places in the city and here the Spice Bazaar, also known as the Egyptian Bazaar, is still expanding, which opens up to the Golden Horn. If there was a trading center on the birch of the Golden Horn: merchant ships were vandalized here, the militias valued spices, and the African pirates hired to accompany the vantage lazily fought in the port taverns with the same tedious Janissaries.
There are a lot of pigeons in the area that can be found in San Marco near Venice, for which pensioners can sell food in booths. And I’m at the Novo Mosque. The novelty of Yeni Camii is already obvious - after all, it was 1633, and there were still the same spice traders as a holy place in the market. There is nothing in the middle that would not have been in other mosques, which I have already visited, and like all the great mosques of Istanbul, the new space is bright, uncrowded, with burning stones on the walls and domes and soft keel under your feet.
At the mosque, merchants can’t help but sell something, and so it is here: along the walls of the mosque, numerous cleaners were roaming around, a kind of reminder of Istanbul, which is ready to polish to a shine, whether it’s beautiful, or sandals Idpovidny bakshish. Ale often like the Turks themselves, and tourists, like to clean up, so this is not lost.
On the other side of the square is the one-day mosque of Rüstem Pasha Camii, where in 1561 the already familiar Mimar Sinan was born. And in the middle, and it is covered with coughs of the 16th century, the current photograph did not really come out with backlighting, but in the middle, due to the subtlety of its decoration, it rivals the black mosque. Or maybe the story became a sign for her.
Without going to the Egyptian bazaar, I wandered around the bazaars, walking on the previous day of recess, buying souvenirs and gifts, and especially not trying to get my camera out to capture this creepy crawly. Let's quickly cross to the pristine shore of the Golden Horn by the Galata Bridge. I’m sure glad to eat some greased fish in the many restaurants between the bridge supports, it’s delicious and inexpensive, regardless of the daily tourist directness. The mouthful of a sumptuous, oiled halibut is like a black sea fish, but still fresh and unpretentious.
With fresh fishing in Istanbul, there are no shortage of problems, which is why all the railings of the Galata Bridge are filled with fishing - which is even more popular in Turkey. Here you can buy bait and wooden stands for woodok. I don’t know what the ecological status of one of the most important marine arteries is, which is the Bosporus, but I suspect that it is suspected. You can catch fish for the joy of your intestines.
After the Galata Bridge, the tourist trails begin to double, either straight to the Dolmabahce Palace, or left hand uphill, on the hill, to the very Genoese tower that overlooks the area. I started a walk in the area right from the beginning.
Beyoğlu is a district on the snow birch of the Golden Horn, a new place opposite Old Constantinople. Foreigners and foreigners settled here for a long time: the Genoese merchants once fell asleep on the birch inlet in the colony of Galata and after all the internal Byzantine disputes, they sought help from the Byzantine the emperor has a greater degree of extraterritoriality; This is the provincial governor who came from Genoa. The symbol of independence of the Italian colony - the Galatian Tower - still towers over the Golden Horn. Zagalom, Galata in Constantinople was similar to the German Lefortovo Freedom in Moscow - that is, as if Franz Lefort was rich and powerful, and Tsar Petro was poor and pitiful. So it happened. Under the Turks, who did not dare to get along with the powerful Italian local powers, Galata was long deprived of the European quarter, inhabited by Italian sailors and merchants. Already the Moors, expelled from Spain, and the Arabs hesitated here; The ancients were bankers, and the Greeks ran taverns, and the Turkish children clanged to the godless Galata, every day and night they lie in the streets drunkenly.
I don’t remember exactly how many tickets are worth for the sightseeing Maidan of Galatska Vezha, I remember it’s very expensive, about twenty dollars, but it’s all the same. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t spare me much that day, so the photos came out gloomy. It’s still the best place in Istanbul with a fantastic view of the Bosporus, the Golden Riga and the historical quarters of the place, and getting there is just as challenging as visiting Sofia or the Blakytna Mosque. In the photo below is the Golden River, the Galata City of Evil and Suleymaniya on the right.
As soon as you climb up the Isakiya Maidan in St. Petersburg, you can see the devastation of the inner courtyards and the deterioration of the streets. It’s just like all old quarters have some kind of place for the world. Look towards the Bosporus and to a remote corner of the inlet.
When it became crowded on the birch, Galata began to fight uphill. The respectable Pera (whose name is similar to the Greek “for” - “for Galata”) grew up on the mountain. The luxurious palaces of foreign embassies became here, and the central street was named in French - Grande Rue de Pera. In fact, the entire region bears the Turkish name Beyoglu; Pera became the street of Independence (İstiklal Caddesi), or the old name for dosi u khodі. As soon as you continue to rise from Galati, you will immediately end up at the small street in front of Istiklal, which historically sells musical instruments and gramophone records in the quarter. There I bought from the music library two rare collections of Jethro Tull 2001 and 2007 rocks and a single album by the super-group Blind Faith. Istiklal itself is like Arbat, only twice as long and with a tourist tram in the middle. As one of the tourist centers (in addition, it is a center of night life with fashionable clubs) it is full of people.
Street musicians, even professional ones to my ears, perhaps the club crowd is expanding.
Now we will turn back to the Galata Bridge and walk not up the hill streets to the mountain, but straight along the street, straight to the Dolmabahce Palace. As a matter of fact, it is a well-known museum of middle-class maps, reworkings from either a large mosque or a madrasah.
The highly decorated mosque of Kilich Ali Pasha ("kilich" in Turkish means "sword"), the famous pirate and admiral of the hour Suleiman Chudov, was prompted by Mimar Sinan himself to marry the sailor. The Selim Yavuz Mosque will remind you a little about its architecture. And in the middle, like the work of a great architect, there is light and space.
And then the road leads us to the Dolmabahce Palace - the largest and largest of the imperial residences on the Bosphorus. Its name means “forlorn garden”: there used to be a flood in this place, when many rocks fell asleep - first the palatial gardens were planted here. Here Mehmed the Conqueror sailed his ships, in order to bypass the Byzantine lance and pull them from the Golden River.
Until the middle of the 19th century, the Topkapi Palace remained in fashion, and the Vermenian architect Nikogos Balyan made the palace oriented towards European Versailles-like residences with a mixture of similar architecture Yu. It came out in the style of the new Russians, with simply flashy ostentation and unsavory luxury. Therefore, the deputy, Sultan Abdul-Mejid deserved it. The palace was completed in 1853, during the hour of the Crimean War, and it was so expensive that it was considered obscene to celebrate the New Year in the days of military tensions. The door moved here around 1856, having once lost the old Topkapi Palace.
Istanbul and Zatoka Golden Rig- The concepts are inseparable from each other. The long curved flow divides the European part of Istanbul into two parts and gives the place a special, unique identity. Zoloty Rig Bay has long been monument of Istanbul, wander along the banks and bridges where tourists from all over the world come.
The Golden River Bay near Istanbul is located in the European part, which is divided into the western and western half. The Zolotyi Rig inlet flows into the Bosphorus Channel at the point where it joins the Sea of Marmur. Golden Region is one of the most beautiful natural harbors in the world.
Golden River Bay is a curved inlet of the Bosphorus, which cuts deeply into the land and intelligently divides the European part of Istanbul into two parts: the Old Town and the New Town. This is the greatest natural harbor in the world.
Dovzhina of the vene to become 12200 m, the width to become 91–122 m, Glibin-47 m. Two straps are flooded at Zatoka in Zakhadniye Part: Ali-Bay-Su (Divine name-kydaros) that kias-khana-su (Barbbizes).
Zoloty Rig Bay is one of the world’s largest and most natural harbors. In ancient times, trading ships of the Byzantines and Ottomans, as well as military ships, were stationed here. Today, well-ordered parks and pedestrian sidewalks stretch along the banks.

There are two legends that explain the appearance of the “golden” marker at the name of the bay. According to the first legend, during the hour of the Ottoman conquest, the Byzantines dumped so many valuables at the creek that its waters were filled with gold.
Another and more plausible story seems to be that this name is given because of the gold that pours over the surface of the stream at the hour of sunset.

Golden River Harbor - the shape of the inlet of the Bosphorus is curved, as it extends deeply into the land. The length of the inlet is 12.2 km, the width is 91-122 m, the depth is 47 m. Two streams flow into the inlet in the outflow part: Ali-bey-su, which is still called Kidaros and Qiat Khan -su - ancient Barbizes.
Due to resentment, the European part of one of the largest places in Turkey - Istanbul - was being disturbed. Several bridges spanned the bay - the Galatian Town, the Old Galatian Town, which is no longer in use, the Ataturk Town and the Halich Town.
Already in the 7th century BC. The first settlements appeared along the shores of the harbor, and a great trading port emerged here after the rise of Constantinople.
During the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the Golden Horn area was an important center of trade, and there was a naval base here. And now this place, rich in historical and cultural monuments, is losing one of the most attractive places in Istanbul.
On both banks of the bay there are landscaped parks with marvelous landscape compositions, pedestrian sidewalks, and residential areas of old Istanbul.

Five bridges stretch across the Zoloty Rig (Halich) Zatoka near Istanbul, connecting the two banks of the European part of Istanbul. The most popular among tourists is Galata City, the least popular is Ataturk City.
The remaining of the constructed bridges is the name given to the cable-stayed metro station on which the metro line is laid. After a severe fire, the old Galatian place was moved to a new place and preserved.
Mist Khalich is the primary transport line.

About seven thousand years ago, the waters of the Bosphorus and the river Kagitkhane and Alibey, which still flow at the Golden River (its northern part), became angry and a natural harbor was created.
The history of the name of the Zoloty Rig bay is closely related to its shape. The bay has been called "Horn" due to its external similarity since ancient times. “Golden”, perhaps, from the names through the distant geographical growth and beauty of local landscapes. The romantic Greeks imagined that when the sun set, the waters shimmered with pure gold. In Greek, the outflow was called Chrysokeras, which literally means “golden river”. One more name of locality has been preserved - Rig Byzantium. The Greek philosopher and geographer Strabo guessed about him. Later, using the tracing method, the name was translated into other European languages, which literally means “golden reg.” In Turkish, Zolotiy Rig Bay is simply called Haliç, which translates as “bay” or “inlet”.
For many centuries, the Golden River and Altin Boynuz have been called one of the world's greatest natural harbors. Near the waters of this bay, as the rig clearly suggests by its shape, there were many fish, and the very native land along the shores of the harbor gave even a lot of fish.
The bay was often called the horn of prosperity, and it is also important that this bay was named by Byzant himself in honor of his mother, whose name was Keroessa, because in Greek the Golden Rig sounds like Krisokeras.
It is true, and yet another great legend, about those who, under the exchange of the luminous sun, the waters sparkle with fresh gold.
The original Turkish name for the Golden Horn is ce Halic (halic, which in Turkish means “flood”). The name of this harbor is very similar to the Ottoman Halic-i Dersaadet, which means “flooding the gates of bliss.”

Take a trip along the way, which allows you to enjoy the wonderful views of monuments and parks, especially at the riverside. The mini-walk has been going on for almost a year. During the hour, tourists look out for sights of places with clever fortresses and mosques, wonderful sights of parks and quiet old buildings. Before the mandrivniki appear the coastal walls of ancient Constantinople, where they can find the holy treasure at the Church of Our Lady at Blachernae.
During the walk, tourists will see the beautiful church named after St. Stephen, the ancient church of St. Fedor, as well as the place where the Crusaders stormed the place in the 13th century. This is not the end of the mini-travel program at the Golden Horn, but it’s still a good idea to get on the road, so you’ll get a lot of money when you arrive at Turecchin.
Trips along the banks of the inlet are available on a comfortable bus. You will need pennies for donations at churches and food.
The head spirit of Old Istanbul appears near the waters of the Golden Horn. A clear solution on this shore is possible for numerous high-class hotels, restaurants, fish cafes and other establishments, which will definitely not allow you to be forced to allow you to pass through as quickly as possible.

Hydrometeorological information
The weather near Zoloty Rig Bay is already very cold. Day and day winds prevail here, and fogs often appear. In spring and winter, it is important to blow the wind from evening to evening. The stench comes from dry and clear weather with great drops in air temperature, which causes a shift in atmospheric pressure.
Fogs near the harbor of Zolotiy Rig are observed from dawn to dusk. Oh, most often, you can get it from the red and sticky ones. Fogs, as a rule, appear here when there are cloudy winds. If you are wary of a new calm, you can get plenty of them sooner. The winds that cause haze in the spring and winter can be even harsh and can sometimes reach wind speeds of 6-8 m/s or more, and in the spring and summer wind speeds are a little less.

When the Turks came here from the shores of the Golden Horn, they settled in a popular place for repairs. Rich mansions and summer residences began to appear here. However, unimportantly, on these lands, a great number of masters and factories began to appear over time.
1. This post is intended more for those who have not been to Istanbul, as it tells us practically about the head and already very romantic type of urban public transport. poromakh.
Walk through the Bosphorus, to the Prince Islands, and along the entire shore of the Golden River Bay. It is very important to describe this grandiose system, so I only hesitate on the remaining route. Otje, Miska Shvidka water line along the route Üsküdar - Eyüp with the same intermediate links along the bay-protoce Golden Rig (Haliç hattı).
2. I’ll complete the axis and complete the diagram. 
Pid №1 on the diagram Uskudar pier ( Üsküdar) in the Asian part of the place. Between points No. 1 and No. 2 there is now a standard route through the Bosphorus, which doubles with a lot of other watercraft.
3. The roc here began to burn zhvaviy.
4. The axle is so great that it is impossible to walk at times (although only on routes through the Bosporus, near the Golden River there is no stink for passengers).
5. It is customary to kill seagulls along the way. Moreover, this is no longer done by tourists, but by locals. Tourists are afraid of seagulls.
6. Speck №2 - this is a marina Karakoy ( Karaköy) . Vtim " Marina" - the most powerful word for a small hanger. If there are regular turnstiles installed (the domestic tariff is the same as for a bus or tram) and the electronic displays are lit - how many and in which direction will the coming time pass. It's hard to show mercy.
7. Є і layout. Intervals can be daily or annual.
8. The pier has been rebuilt straight away Galata Bridge. Be respectful, travelers, and let Yandex-Maps know that the pier of this line is located on the other side of the creek, in Eminonu. This is not true.
9. It lays the foundation for what we will need soon Emin Enandi. We will water the middle of the Golden Horn.
I will report on the video of mooring, transportation and transportation of passengers (and direction of transportation) and further. Reminds me of the movie "Mimino", especially the appearance of the boxes.
10. First pass Galata Bridge.
11. And then immediately metro station "Zolotyi Rig" ( Haliç) with the same metro station.
12. The station itself looks like this.
13. And the draft is the same, the dimensions are not ours. It is necessary to say that Istanbul does not have a unified public transport system (and frequent connections between them). All metro lines, for example, are not alike.
14. Beyoğlu Districtі Galatska Tower.
15. On the other side, the areas are simple. A place of contrasts. Koli here at times was already standing on the pier of Jibali (not at all).
16. On this route there are not as many tourists as on the trans-Bosphorus ones, but they are also crowded. This German girl happily takes photographs.
17. Then the drainage basins for rips begin along the shore. On the right is that historically three strong companies have been and are working on the small-scale transport market. I.D.O., Turyolі Şehir Hatları. These are Turyol boats.
18. And this is Şehir Hatları (its appearance is more barbaric than knowledge).
19. Zupinka №3 on the route - Kasimpasha pier ( Kasımpasha) . This region, before speaking, is the place of birth of the current Turkish leader Tayyip Recep Erdogan.
20. Zupinka is here. Cost khvilin 5-7.
21. You can go and look into the captain-shipmaster’s cabin.
22. Here, watch the wormhole behind this very route, so that the caps overlap with a pair of lips. He's hurrying to get to us Hadeka.
23. The ladder vibrates itself. Chimos guesses the automatic locking of doors on minibuses.
24. I entrusted from the pier a marvelous view of the palace under the roof. Wikimapia confirms what it is kolishny palace Kamondoі headquarters of the military command of the Turkish fleet nini.
25. Right there on the mountain naval spital.
26. There are two floating ships moored (?). The sailor on duty is protecting his armor, I showed him at the forward post.
27. The tooth is stepped on - №4 on the diagram - Fener.
28. If the area was densely populated by Phanariot Greeks (the real Byzantines, or so it seems). The dominant feature of the area is obvious - Greek Lyceum(1884) on pagorbi.
29. Here is the basis of the water police.
30. The Lyceum dominates. I want to respect the architecture that it is unsubtle and rough.
31. It’s very close and therefore the birch tree is torn and a thorn is stepped on Balat (No. 5). If Fener is a Greek district, then Balat is Jewish. I want everything, initially, a long time ago.
32. Bulgarian Church of St. Stephen(1898). Travelers write that it was completely collected from the climb (the important stone structure of the shore should not be damaged). Therefore, this architectural monument needs to be quilted, otherwise it will rust from the salty sea wind (and don’t fry it!)
33. Before speaking, the Golden River is similar to a river, but no one has jellyfish all the same.
34. On the side of Kasimpasha, at this hour it is possible to guard against the industrial ruins of the ship's immediate directness. Obviously large hangars, piers, slips, and workshops.
35. So, having seen the area of the Admiralty shipyards near St. Petersburg, they abandoned it.
36. You can look at the side of the booth summer palace Aynalikavak ( Aynalıkavak Kasrı) . Nina has undergone a miraculous restoration, but is hardly visited by tourists (although none of them know about the new world).
37. Riding along the channel it is easy to understand, to the point of speech, why the Greeks called it “ We're gilding" All through the sun, instead of directly igniting the water and then it turns out that it’s not water, but hot metal.
38. Heading for Haskey (No. 6, Hasköy) .
39. What-scho-scho mi there bachimo? Oh-oh-oh-oh, that’s a museum exhibit Polytechnic Rahmi Koch Museum! (there will be an upcoming post about new).
40. Let's get off at this neat pier.
Now and then it gets stuck on its feet Ayvansaray (No. 7, Ayvansaray) , Sütlüce (No. 8, Sutluce) i, kintseva, Eyyup (No. 9, Eyüp) . It seems that Istanbul is already quite rural, although the area is not at all on the outskirts of the current city.
41. Now there are a bunch of photographs from the gateway. That day the sun was setting brightly.
42. The channel itself, in such light, again seems to be enchanting.
43. Black Beach.
44. Bright side.
45. Selim I Mosque Yavuz.
46. It’s already completely dark.
Shanovnyi vіdvіduvach my blog chi vіdvіduvachka!
Istanbul will not require the presentation of a table, so that when you write about it, you feel the great insignificance.
The founder of Rozmova about this famous place, inevitable skepticism among readers, “Well, that’s it!”
And starting to explore Istanbul from its hidden corners will be illogical if the main landmarks are not laid out.
Therefore, in the future, I’ll ask the pre-satisfied mandrivniks about the fragments of this article - the same thing placement of landmarks . There are so many of them, I suspect, that we still wander around a lot, exploring the place, invisible to the gaze of the tourist-“stribunitsa”.
That is what a traveler checks off so that he can get around everything and then live until the end of his life in complete joy, having learned about the “true Turechchina”.
My entire blog is a protest against such a top-down approach, if people are keenly surprised at you, they see:
I can't live like that! I’ve been to Turechchina five times...
And this is not less, I’m reconciling that we can add something new to the old list of reminders, even if it’s a little drawing. Especially when we talk about such a truly intangible topic as Istanbul.
Istanbul is a place of miraculous steps.
Whatever you say about him will be the truth.
A place of contrasts, a Pearl of the Bosphorus, a Wonder of the World, the Capital of Emperors - that's all, Istanbul - the most sophisticated, the most delicious, the most repeated, in a word, the best place - Turechchina!
Excess? Buried? - Anya didn’t happen...
A metropolis of many millions, spread over two continents - Europe and Asia on the banks of the Bosphorus and washed by the waters of the Marmur and Black Seas.
Over the entire history of its founding, the place became the capital of four powers: the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires, and also changed its name.
Arriving to Istanbul
Istanbul still has two international airports. Airport named after Ataturk repayments in the European part of the city. Another airport The name of the beloved daughter of the Turkish leader - the first Turkish wife-pilot, Sabihi Gyokchen be located in the Asian part of the city.
There will be a large third airport, which the first two can no longer cope with, and also on the European part of the place. It is planned to put it into operation in 2018.
It is important that in addition to the skin terminal there are options for economical transfers, which are much cheaper than “regular” taxis. Father, don’t rush to timidly wave your hand...
Europe is not Asia!
It is important to note that the bulk of the important monuments were located in the European part of the city. This fact must be taken into account when choosing an airport from the point of view of location and further movement. Just like those who are so “respected” by everyone.
Let’s take note of the theme of “Asian Istanbul”, and for now let’s return to our “European classics”, having intelligently separated the points of the program from one side or the other of the Golden River Bay and dedicated the skin part to the surrounding area ttyu z five main reminders . Today's news - Part I.
1. Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia is located in the center of Istanbul, in the Sultanahmet district.
Pobedovany u 4 stolіtti n.e. following the order of the Roman Emperor Kostyantin (in honor of which place, the ruler, was called Constantinople), he lost one of the largest Christian churches for perhaps thousands of years.
However, in 1453, Sultan Fatih Mehmet turned the cathedral into a mosque, holding his first Friday prayer there after conquering the place.
Nowadays, the Hagia Sophia is viewed as a museum for tourists, and some Turkish ceremonies tell us that it would be wrong to turn it into a mosque again. “Lost,” saying, “at the museums.” Come on, hurry up and get going before we pass - whatever the hour is.
2. Sultanahmet Mosque or Sinya Mosque
The Blakytna Mosque is built opposite the Hagia Sophia, you only need to spend literally two kilos across Sultanahmetu Square.
Won Bula was prompted by the order of Sultan Ahmet I period 1609 - 1616. There is still a single mosque in Istanbul with six minarets.
I open the curtain of the “dungeon” - another may receive the first believers of 2018.
For the construction of the Sultanahmet Mosque, more than twenty thousand white and black ceramic cathedrals were needed, which resulted in its other name - the Blakytna Mosque.
If you are planning to visit the Blakytna Mosque, be aware that tourists are only allowed here during breaks between prayers.
While visiting the Sultanahmet area, be sure to dine somewhere restaurants in Dahu . So, Hagia Sophia is left-handed, Blakytna Mosque is right-handed, and the Bosphorus is in front of you, so you can enjoy the panorama of the place.
And to a friend - as an option, de zupinitis: take a look for yourself wooden boarding houses , of which the Sultanahmeti has so much. There is a characteristic Ottoman spirit, the smell of wood, engravings on the walls, creaking bridges and metal floors. It suits me, but, of course, with relish.
3. Topkapi Palace
Topkapi Palace, known to the Russians, is first for everything in harem battles. series “Monster Age” , roztashovanie on the Sarayburnu mission, near the mouth of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn in the Marmur Sea.
In response to the orders of Sultan Fatih Mehmet the Conqueror in 1460-1478 and for a period of 4 centuries, it became an imperial residence. In 1924, there were a number of changes to the museum under the orders of the Republican Ataturk.
The palace is surrounded by a single wall, a great complex, divided into several courtyards, surrounded by gardens and plants of various significance.
On the territory of the Topkapi Museum there are: the Treasury, the Church of St. Irene, the former mint and the office of the Divan, the Tower of Justice, pavilions and mosques.
4. Basilica Cistern abo Yerebatan
One of the great historical monuments of Istanbul, made available to the public in the city - the Basilica Cistern, was commissioned by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian in the 6th century. for delivery to the Great Palace.
There is an underground reservoir with an area of 9,800 sq.m and a capacity of approximately 100 thousand. tons of water
From the water up to the stele, 336 marmur columns rise, nearly nine meters high.
The stench was collected from various ancient temples, which is distinguished by one type of marmura and decorations on the capitals.
At the bottom of the drainage bank, at the base of two columns, the heads of the Gorgon Medusa are placed. One is on fire, the other is burned out.
Perhaps, the architects respected that such a “drilling” look of the “pannochka” would be less troublesome. And they put shvidshe, like God on the soul.
The music that sounds in the underground, endless rows of columns that appear in the green waters, where majestic white fish swim, connected with numerous legends about the Cistern itself, it must be said, are enemies.
Come and experience the mystical atmosphere!
5. Kritiy market, or Kapalicharshi
Before removing the obligatory, and singing, you will not require my additional request. I’ll tell you about any incident that it’s located in the center of Istanbul, in the Fatih district on Beyazit Street.
The market has a number of entrances (more than twenty), one of them is located very close to the most important monuments in the Sultanahmet area.
The Critical Market, also known as the Great Bazaar, or Kapalicharshi, is one of the largest and oldest critical markets in the world. And, obviously, one of the most densely populated intestinal villains.
Its territory is divided into parts, each of which represents products of the singing category.
Fabrics, kilimi, clothes, clothes, bags, skins, ceramics, objects of decorative art, jewelry, hand-made gold and silverware, souvenir shops occupy the streets that are moving around directly.
Products presented there - most diverse categories , from a rich berry to a variety of different light brands, the prepared Turks have certainly gained a lot over the past few years.
Apparently prices are going up... Ale bargain , as before, - pre-river . It’s true that you should be careful with jewelry products. It is better to buy them either in reputable hemstone stores or through knowledge, which guarantees no surprises.
How do you see the Critical market affected by the tourist recession in 2015? Already, about 15-20% of the pavilions have closed their doors, and the market with its busy corridors is not similar to itself. Let's live a long time...
The continuation, about another part of the Golden Horn, follows...
However, first of all, I will not forget about the tradition that has begun to take shape, and I will point out the following message to the “song about Istanbul” - one of those, in my opinion, tunes in to your spirit and allows you to capture your unique spirit. Vibir is not classical, let’s face it:
Come to Istanbul and return to new and new! Vin - unbearable!
