For all fortress lovers.
A great place with a rich history. You can climb the Golden Gate, which offers a beautiful view of the city and the Marmara Sea with ships going into the horizon.
In general, this is the category of attractions that, although not popular (too far from Sultanahmet, although there is a tram that can be reached in 25 minutes. And if you decide to walk from Sultanahmet to the fortress 1-1.5 hours on foot, you can also see the "non-parade" Istanbul)., but it is actively being restored and has good information support. In this regard, it was very reminiscent of our Izborsk in the Pskov region.
The price is more than affordable - 250 liras for 1 adult on 03.09.24.
Tourists 1.5 people.
I definitely recommend you to visit.
We visited this castle museum in early April 2024.
I really liked it! The entrance is only 100 liras, while in addition to the castle itself, you can also go upstairs and admire the beautiful panorama of Istanbul.
There are still few tourists. The castle is under reconstruction, I think over time it will be "promoted" and there will be noticeably more tourists.
Another plus is the relative proximity to the center. From Yenikapi and back we walked 4 km along a beautiful and deserted promenade.
But you can also get there by train.
🌄🏺 Let's go to ancient times with Oleg the Prophetic!
In 907, Oleg went on a campaign to Constantinople, the heart of the Byzantine Empire. It was not just a military campaign, but a symbol of the strength and unity of the Eastern Slavs! 💪💖
Like a real commander, he gathered his loyal troops and headed for the majestic walls of the city on ships. According to legend, thanks to cunning and luck, he was able to negotiate with the Byzantine rulers and ensure peaceful trade relations! ⚔️🕊️
This campaign became a significant stage in history, and also proved that even the strongest enemies can be turned down by cunning and wisdom.
