Asian Side of the Bosphorus


July 27th 2014 at 9.00
Meeting Point: Uskudar Port (Cem Bufe)


We will start early to avoid the heat, meeting in Uskudar at 9am,  and on to the picturesque tree lined village of Kuzguncuk, known for it's tolerance, traditional wooden architecture and Bohemian cafe lifestyle.

At 10:30 I have arranged for a small boat to pick us up in Cengelkoy, and we will go slowly up to Anadolu Kavagi, where the Bosphorus meets the Black Sea. Along the way, we can photograph the Yali's and palaces, stopping where we like. It will take roughly an hour and a half.

From Anadolu Kavagi we will take a bus back down to Kanlica, where we will have a home made lunch in the garden of the Turkish artist Fusun Ocal.After lunch, a short walk over to Hidriv Kasr, the art nouveau residence of the Egyptian Governor, where I will try to get permission to climb up the tower and we might find some brides posing for photographs in the rose garden. 

Lots of new stuff to see, different atmospheres and more Istanbul contrasts to photograph. Plus, it will be lots of fun. This trial trip will have some extra expenses, and is limited to only 6 people.
Please bring your Istanbul karts, comfy shoes, and your cameras.
45 TL for the boat and lunch. 
Additional expenses will be buses, minibuses to Kanlica and to return to Uskudar .
Please contact me with any questions and send me your phone number to confirm a place.
