Istanbul'da bogaziçi..

a project in progress..

Bosphorus literally means "cow-ford", so named because Zeus's mistress, Io, fled across the strait in the shape of a cow to escape the wrath of Zeus's wife, Hera. Myth aside, the legendary waterway is as dazzlingly beautiful now as it was in antiquity.

No visit to Istanbul is complete without a cruise along its physical and spiritual heart, the glistening waters that link Europe to Asia, that join the Black Sea and Sea of Marmara.

I ordered the districts from South to North on both sides. Some of them are very old villages. The suffix "koy" in their names means village in Turkish.

I live on Anatolian side that may be why I love more. I feel I am home whenever I set foot on my side.

Enjoy your visit...
