Anatolian Kavak and Anatolian Lighthouse |
Anatolian Kavak |
|
|
 This
old istanbul village located between Beykoz and
Anatolian Lighthouse (Anadolu Feneri)
can be reached by public transportation from Kadikoy and Beykoz or by ferry from Eminonu,
Besiktas, or Sariyer. In order to preserve the architectural
structure and style of the village, no activities of simple
construction or renovation are permitted.
In the restaurants along the shore, freshly caught fish is
served for your enjoyment daily. Yorgos Castle, renowned for its
moonscape location on the ridge of the village, was built by the
Genoese. The village has a magnificent view of the strait;
however there is no place to find accommodation here.

Anatolian Lighthouse (Anadolu Feneri) can be reached via the highway from Beykoz. It is
famous for its fish and scenery just like other villages on the
Bosphorus strait. The lighthouse in this village is one of the
rare structures that are preserved in original form. It was
built in 1834 and served to guide British and French vessels
crossing the strait during the Crimean War.
