İstanbul Boğaz Turu – Yalıları, Tarihi, Hikayeleri (46 Dilde Altyazı)

Greetings to everyone from a sunny Istanbul day. We’ll soon embark on a wonderful Bosphorus cruise on this ship. We’ve all taken our seats, and the Bosphorus Tour begins. On this tour, we’ll explore the historical buildings, mansions, and their stories along the Bosphorus. We’ve also included a map in the upper left corner so you know where we are throughout the tour. I specifically chose this tour because the starting point is the Golden Horn. This way, even though it’s not located on the Bosphorus, you’ll see sights like the Süleymaniye Mosque. It was commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent. The tombs of Suleiman the Magnificent and Hurrem Sultan are also located here. You can find a video explaining the Süleymaniye Mosque and its tombs on our channel. Bosphorus tours are available from many locations in Istanbul. Prices start from $5. If you’ve taken a Bosphorus tour in Istanbul, don’t forget to share your experiences in the comments. We’re currently on the Golden Horn side of the Sea of ​​Marmara. The bridge we’ll soon cross is called the “Unkapanı Bridge.” It’s located in the Unkapanı district. The district’s name comes from the fact that ships bringing grain to Istanbul unloaded their cargo here. Another name for this bridge is the Atatürk Bridge. The bridge we’ll soon cross is the Golden Horn Metro Bridge. Currently, a metro line runs over it. The view is excellent for commuters. You can cross the bridge from the walking paths on both sides. I recommend this place to enjoy the magnificent view and take wonderful photos. The views are especially captivating at sunset. Some people think this bridge spoils Istanbul’s skyline. What do you think? Istanbul’s history dates back 8,500 years. It was founded in 667 BC by Greek settlers from the Megara region of Ancient Greece. These colonists, the first settlers of Istanbul, named their city “Byzantion” (the city of Byzas) in honor of their king, Byzas . When it was declared the new capital of the Roman Empire in 330, it became known as “Neva Roma,” Latin for “New Rome.” This name didn’t catch on, and when Constantine the Great, who had rendered great service to the city, died in 337, the name “Constantinopolis,” meaning “City of Constantine , ” was adopted in his honor. It was also known by this name for a time by the Ottomans after the conquest. Although its official name during the Ottoman period was Konstantiniyye, the name “Istanbul” derives from the Greek-speaking people of the Byzantine period. Travelers to the city, in particular, would use the phrase “eis ten polin,” meaning “toward the city. ” Over time, this pronunciation evolved into “Istanbul,” conforming to Turkish phonetics. We are currently passing under the Galata Bridge. This bridge is one of Istanbul’s iconic structures and has been featured in many films and TV series shot in Istanbul. You can see people fishing on this bridge every day of the year. This mosque is called the “New Mosque.” It was commissioned in 1633 by Hatice Turhan Sultan, mother of Sultan Mehmed IV. And there you have it, Hagia Sophia, greeting everyone crossing the Bosphorus. You can find videos where we explain Hagia Sophia in detail on our channel. When you look to the side of Hagia Sophia, you can see Topkapı Palace. You can find videos where we explain Topkapı Palace in detail on our channel. Now, we’ll cross the Golden Horn and begin our tour of the Bosphorus . This is Galataport , located in the Karaköy district. This recently constructed structure not only provides a port for large cruise ships but also houses facilities such as hotels, restaurants, and a shopping mall. Large cruise ships always dock here, obstructing the view. Fortunately, they weren’t here today. The cruise ship we just saw near Topkapı Palace will likely dock here soon. The building before us is called Çifte Saraylar (Twin Palaces). It is one of the coastal palaces used during the Ottoman period. Two palaces together. On the left is Münire Sultan Palace, and on the right is Cemile Sultan Palace. It was built in 1856 for Sultan Abdülmecid’s daughters, Cemile Sultan and Münire Sultan. The architect of the building is Garabet Amira Balyan, who also built Dolmabahçe Palace. The building is currently used by Mimar Sinan University. The Cemile Sultan Palace, in particular, has witnessed important events. It was used as the parliament building between 1913 and 1920. In other words, it was the scene of the final parliamentary meetings during the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Molla Çelebi Mosque. Also known as the Fındıklı Mosque. It was commissioned by Kadı Molla Mehmet Çelebi and commissioned by Mimar Sinan. We are currently passing by the Kabataş Ferry Terminal. This photo was likely taken from that vantage point. It has a magnificent view. The mosque before us is the Dolmabahçe Mosque. Its construction was begun by Bezmialem Valide Sultan, Sultan Abdülmecid’s mother, and completed by Sultan Abdülmecid upon her death. It was designed by Garabet Balyan. The building before us is the stadium where Beşiktaş football club plays its matches. It is arguably one of the stadiums with the best views in the world. Our journey along the Bosphorus continues. This is Dolmabahçe Palace. It is the second palace used by the Ottoman Empire after Topkapı Palace. Construction began in 1843 at the behest of Sultan Abdülmecid. Designed by architect Garabet Balyan, his son Nigoğayos Balyan, and Evanis Kalfa, this palace is truly magnificent, both inside and out. The palace is open to visitors, but photography and videography are prohibited. However, videography is permitted for a fee and with special permission. However, these fees are currently far beyond our means. Perhaps in the future, we will be able to afford this fee and, just like Topkapı Palace, we will be able to film Dolmabahçe Palace in detail for you. Our journey along the Bosphorus continues. This is Çırağan Palace. It takes its name from the illuminated celebrations held here during the Tulip Era. Surrounded by tulip gardens, the mansion is known as “Çırağan,” meaning “lights” in Persian. Çırağan Palace, a former Ottoman palace, is currently used as a hotel by a company. This is one of three structures known as the Feriye Palaces, built during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz. Feriye Palaces are a general name given to palaces constructed later when existing palaces proved inadequate for the Ottoman dynasty. The word “feriye” means secondary or side. Today, one of these three Feriye Palaces houses Galatasaray University, and the other Kabataş High School. The third Feriye Palace is the smaller of the others. However, this palace played host to a tragic event in history. Ottoman Sultan Sultan Abdülaziz died (or was killed) in this palace. Sultan Abdülaziz was dethroned and taken to Topkapı Palace. Later, dissatisfied with the situation, he was brought back to the Feriye Palace. However, Sultan Abdülaziz was found on June 4, 1876, with his wrists slit. Some believe this was an assassination disguised as suicide. Now we are heading towards the Ortaköy Mosque, one of Istanbul’s iconic structures. The mosque’s original name is the Büyük Mecidiye Mosque. It was commissioned by Sultan Abdülmecid and built by architect Nigoğos Balyan in 1853. Its architecture and location right next to the Bosphorus Bridge make the photographs taken here magnificent. This mosque’s interior is as magnificent as its exterior. We’ll be passing under the Bosphorus Bridge in a moment. The Bosphorus Bridge is one of Istanbul’s iconic structures. This bridge was the first bridge built across the Bosphorus. In other words, it was the first structure to officially connect the European and Asian continents. Construction began in 1970 and was completed in three years. The bridge was renamed the July 15 Martyrs’ Bridge in memory of the citizens who died on the bridge during the coup attempt on July 15, 2016. This is Galatasaray Island, also known as Kuruçeşme Island. Given as a gift in 1872 by Sultan Abdülaziz to architect Sarkis Balyan from the Balyan family, who built numerous works during the Ottoman Empire , the island was later converted into a coal depot. It was purchased in 1957 with the initiative of Galatasaray Sports Club President Sadık Giz and It began to be used as Galatasaray Island. Our journey along the Bosphorus continues. With this special view, I have a special request from you. 🙂 We need your help to grow our channel and create better content. You can support us by liking and commenting on our video. This will help our videos reach a wider audience. Also, if you watch and like our videos and haven’t subscribed to our channel yet, please subscribe. This mansion, located right in the middle of the Bosphorus, is called the Emine Valide Pasha Mansion. Emine Valide Hanımsultan, the mother of Abbas Hilmi Pasha II, the last Ottoman governor of Egypt, was the only woman to receive the title of Pasha in the Ottoman Empire. Emine Valide Pasha, the granddaughter of Sultan Abdülmecid, wanted to gift this mansion to the newly established Republic of Turkey . However, she was upset that the title “Pasha” was not used in correspondence. For this reason, she donated the mansion to Egypt. Today, this mansion still serves as the Egyptian Consulate General. We’ll be passing by Rumeli Hisarı in a moment. Rumeli Hisarı was built in 1452 by Mehmed the Conqueror. Its purpose was to control ship traffic passing through the Bosphorus . This was actually a preparation for the siege of Istanbul, which he would launch a year later. Thanks to this fortress, built directly across from Anadolu Hisarı , ship traffic in the Bosphorus would be completely under his control. Right next to Rumeli Hisarı, we see the second bridge built across the Bosphorus. This bridge is called the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. You’re on an intercontinental journey with me right now. 🙂 We’re crossing from the European continent to the Asian continent. The hill where the bridge’s legs on the Asian side are located is called Otağ Hill. During the conquest of Constantinople, Mehmed the Conqueror’s tent was built here. That’s why it’s called Otağ Hill. You should definitely come here for a panoramic view of Istanbul. Right across from Rumeli Hisarı is Anadolu Hisarı. This fortress was built by Yıldırım Bayezid. The purpose of the fortress was to protect Anatolia against threats from the Bosphorus. Considering that Bayezid I also laid siege to Istanbul during his time, perhaps the true purpose of this fortress’s construction was to conquer it. The structure before us is called Küçüksu Pavilion. It is also known as Göksu Pavilion. It was commissioned by Sultan Abdülmecid. A pavilion is a structure smaller than a palace but larger than a mansion. Pavilions were generally used by sultans for recreation. Kıbrıslı Yalısı (Cypriot Mansion). There are approximately 600 mansions on the Bosphorus. 366 of these are historical mansions, while the others are more recent constructions. Grand Viziers, Viziers, Pashas, ​​and important statesmen serving in the Ottoman Empire lived in mansions they built along the Bosphorus. Besides mansions, the Bosphorus also boasts numerous Ottoman palaces, pavilions, and waterside residences. Besides the main palace, which was the primary residence and the administrative headquarters of the Ottoman Empire, other palaces were also used, especially summer palaces. During the hot summer months, the sultan and his family would move to summer palaces built in cooler locations to avoid the heat. They would spend the summer months in these palaces. To avoid straying too far from the capital and maintain control of the administration, they made sure these palaces weren’t located far from the capital. Therefore, summer palaces were generally built in the Bosphorus region. Mahmut Nedim Pasha Mansion. Mahmut Nedim Pasha was one of the grand viziers during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz. This mansion was donated to the Red Crescent by his grandchildren for a symbolic price. Many mansions on the Bosphorus have interesting stories. In the future, I may dedicate a video solely to these mansions and their stories. Maybe we’ll even have the chance to go inside and film one. This structure, with its two towers, is called Kuleli Military High School. Kuleli Military High School is the oldest military high school in Turkey. It was founded on September 21, 1845, by Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid I. After the coup attempt on July 15, 2016, Kuleli Military High School, It was closed, along with other Military High Schools, and converted into a museum. The building was later converted into a language school providing foreign language instruction to soldiers. The Vahdettin Mansion is located where the arrow indicates. Although it’s not clearly visible because we’re below, you’ll notice it if you look closely. This mansion is the mansion used by the Ottoman Sultan Vahdettin during his time as a prince. Istanbul is a city of hills. Thanks to this geographical structure, the city and its architecture have a three-dimensional appearance. You can see this three-dimensional urban architecture in many parts of Istanbul, especially in older residential areas . At one point, when you turn and look at the city , you’ll see almost every building facing you. The city’s location on hills makes almost every building visible. Perhaps this is one reason why Istanbul inspires such awe. Incidentally, I had to hold the camera constantly throughout the shoot. It was a longer and more tiring shoot than I anticipated, and sometimes the camera’s image can shake due to fatigue. I apologize for that. Now we’re looking at the Beylerbeyi Mosque. Its other name is the Hamid-i Evvel Mosque. It was commissioned by Sultan Abdulhamid I in memory of his mother, Rabia Sermi Sultan. We’re heading towards one of the summer palaces I mentioned earlier. This palace is called Beylerbeyi Palace. In addition to being a summer palace, it was also used to host foreign state guests. Throughout history, many important figures were hosted here. Statesmen and dignitaries such as Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph, French Empress Eugenie, German Emperor Wilhelm II, and Prince Nicholas of Montenegro were hosted here. Sultan Abdulhamid II also spent his final months here after his dethronement and died in this palace in 1918. The Bosphorus is located lower than the Black Sea and higher than the Sea of ​​Marmara. This difference in elevation and depth between the Bosphorus’s beginning and end reaches a total of 40 cm. Consequently, there is a constant surface current flowing from the Black Sea to the Sea of ​​Marmara. Surface currents are strongest in the central part of the Bosphorus. We continue our Bosphorus tour. Our journey continues towards one of Istanbul’s historic districts: Üsküdar. Üsküdar is located directly opposite the Historic Peninsula, known as Old Istanbul. Throughout history, Üsküdar has served as a connecting point between the Asian and European continents. Even before the bridges and tunnels connecting the two continents were built today, people crossed from this region. Üsküdar was also the starting point for the Ottoman expeditions to the east. This mosque in Üsküdar Square is the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque. It is a work of Mimar Sinan. Suleiman the Magnificent commissioned it for Mihrimah Sultan, his daughter by Hürrem Sultan. The other mosque on the shore is the Şemsi Pasha Mosque, also known as the Kuşkonmaz Mosque. This mosque is also a work of Mimar Sinan. Şemsi Pasha asked Mimar Sinan, “Build me such a mosque that birds won’t land on it and won’t poop on it.” Mimar Sinan calculated the currents and wind direction of the Bosphorus and built the mosque in this area. And here we have the Maiden’s Tower. The Maiden’s Tower is a structure built on an islet off the coast of Salacık. In the 5th century BC, it was first used as a customs post, and later, a tower was built to inspect ships coming from the Black Sea and collect taxes. In the 12th century, Eastern Roman Emperor Manuel I Komnenos commissioned a defensive tower. A chain was stretched between this tower and a tower next to the Mangana Monastery at Sarayburnu, controlling the entry and exit of ships into the Bosphorus. This concludes our tour of the Bosphorus’s most iconic structure. Thank you for watching until the end. We hope you enjoyed our video. 🙂
