Kumpir was the primal purpose to be there. We thought there were only one kumpir stall there, and others are something else.

A small but amazingly beautiful mosque. Festive white, gilded, decorated with beautiful carvings, inside is very light from large windows. It is located in the Ortakoy region, on the shores of the Bosphorus. You can get there by bus 22 from the Kabatas stop or by ferry to the pier. Небольшая, но удивительной красоты мечеть. Праздничного белого цвета, с позолотой, украшена красивой резьбой, внутри очень светло от больших окон. Находится в районе Ортакой, на берегу Босфора. Добраться можно автобусом 22 от остановки Кабаташ или паромом до пристани.…
