Experiences
Sea Air and Sun and Tea
Off the beaten track, the promenade along the Bosphorus offers an unbeatable view of İstanbul’s skyline at sunset. The minarets rise into the sky and the sun seems to sink into the Fatih district. As you walk along the choppy Bosphorus, you’ll see the local anglers and people picking out a spot for a little picnic by the water. The view of the serene Maiden Tower at sunset is the most popular activity in Üsküdar for locals and visitors to sit on the steps, chat over tea and enjoy the sea air and sun.
In the heart of the shopping district, Üsküdar Balıkçılar Çarşısı is a bustling marketplace near the pier. Here you will find fish, dried fruits and vegetables, spices, bread, and much more. Vendors and customers enliven the fish market with their voices as they haggle.
