About
Fakta singkat: Dari puncaknya panorama kota memanjakan mata, kamu bisa melihat atap-atap bersejarah, menara-menara, dan kapal-kapal yang tampak seperti mainan. Suasana malam terasa magis ketika lampu melingkari siluetnya, pengunjung sering duduk di teras kafe sambil menikmati angin yang membawa aroma roti dan kopinya.
Sorotan: Bayangkan berdiri di puncak menara batu setinggi 67 meter, angin membawa aroma simit hangat dan garam laut sementara derap langkah di tangga sempit dan lonceng kapal saling bergema di bawahmu. Legenda lokal yang sering diceritakan bilang Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi, pada sekitar tahun 1632, konon meluncur dari ketinggian itu dengan sayap buatan hingga menyeberangi selat, cerita yang bikin orang-orang di sekitarnya masih menunjuk ke cakrawala sambil tersenyum.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the surrounding streets are steep and cobbled and there are stairs even with elevator use.
- Head to the outdoor balcony facing the Bosphorus and Galata Bridge for the best sunset photos.
- Buy a timed-entry ticket online to avoid long lines for both tickets and the elevator.
- Skip the indoor restaurant at peak times, instead grab a nearby simit or tea and enjoy the terrace view.
