Europe to Asia: The Bosporus, Istanbul viewed from Galata Tower
Looking east from Galata Tower, the view extends to Kadikoy, Maltepe and beyond whilst the Karaköy suburb fills the foreground. Karaköy has been described as "a happening harborside area where funky cafes and late-night cocktail bars mix with traditional neighborhood bakeries and family-run shops. Ottoman-era buildings, splashed with street art, house the studios and boutiques of young fashion designers. There's also a vibrant contemporary art gallery scene." Our host introduced us to some fine dining from rooftop deck restaurants and cafes. The experience was wonderful, never to be forgotten; the view was fantastic; the weather perfect.
The large building right of centre with murals on walls is the Galata Campus of Bahçeşehir University.
