The Sweets Holiday
Friday July 17th 13:30
Meeting point : Karakoy pier Ziraat Bank
A boat ride up the Golden Horn to one of the most sacred Islamic sites, Eyup Sultan Mosque complex where we can take advantage of the afternoon light and the ceremonial atmosphere. Children dressed up in their new clothes, families out enjoying the end of Ramadan, this is one of the most important holidays in Islam.
A walk through the cemetery and a tea at the Pier Loti cafe, named after the French writer and traveler. We will then go back onto the ferry to the other end of the line to Uskudar, another religiously conservative neighborhood for a stroll through the beautiful Mimar Sinan mosques and it's back streets, a pudding in the famous Ottoman Kanat Lokantasi and back to the port. Ladies, please don't forget your scarves and no shorts or short skirts. Thanks.
