ISTANBUL THE GOLDEN HORN
Halic - The Golden Horn
This horn-shaped estuary, divides
European Istanbul. One of the best natural harbors in the world, the
Byzantine and Ottoman navies and commercial shipping interests were
centered here. Today, lovely parks and promenades line the shores
where the setting sun dyes the water a golden color. In Fener and
Balat, neighbourhoods midway up the Golden Horn, whole streets of
old wooden houses, churches, and synagogues date from Byzantine and
Ottoman times. The Orthodox Patriarchy resides here at Fener. Eyup,
a little further up, reflects the Ottoman style of vermicular
architecture. Cemeteries sprinkled with dark cypress trees cover the
hillsides. Many pilgrims come to the tomb of Eyüp in the hope that
their prayers will be granted. The Pierre Loti Cafe, atop the hill
overlooking the shrine is a wonderful place to enjoy the tranquility
of the view
