October 12, 2021 Mollie Coke

Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre, classified as a leading global city.

Kordonboyu

With the redness of the sunset, it takes man to other worlds. Especially if the sunset is from the sea, you will feel the fire that covers you. It was the most beautiful sunset I could watch in my life!

Eminonu Pier

Reviewed By B1714D - Belgrade, Serbia

The Eminonu pier is the central commercial and transport hub of Istanbul's most historic area. It's a gateway to Sultanahmet area with so many attractions starting from the Spice bazaar in front of it, further up to Kapali carsii and then to iconic Istanbul's sites like Topkapi and Hagia Sophia. The place is always packed with both locals and tourists. Many ferry routes start from here and I suggest taking any of them, specially for Kadikoy or Uskudar as the journey to the Asian side is so impressive and beautiful. If a fish lover do try their street sandwiches sold there on many stalls, as well corn and chestnut.

Uskudar Pier

Reviewed By ash_egy

You take the ferry boat from Imenunu, every 30 minutes. It's 10 minutes to Uskudar, you walk for about 15 minutes along the shore toward Maiden tower. Many dining options are available at fair price. View is amazing and worth going.
