Maiden's Tower Review

A maiden tower, more than 2,000 years old, is located on a small island at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus Strait, 200 meters from the Usquidar coast of Yazhou. The interior of the tower has been transformed into a cafe and restaurant with views of Istanbul on both sides of the Strait, and visitors can reach the tower several times a day.

Crossing the Eurasian Bridge to the Asian shore, the traffic is busy, pedestrians are enjoying the beautiful European sea view of Istanbul. The Girls Tower is a baroque lighthouse standing on the island near the Asian land area in the Bosphorus Strait. The beautiful love of the Greek legend Hero and Leandros. The matter makes the Girls Tower one of the most romantic symbols. The store will put the ladder on a thin blanket for tourists to sit on the mat and watch the sunset and the stars. The fish boats whistle and shuttle through the busy life for a moment. The sea breeze blowing is so leisurely.

A small independent tower, you can see this small tower very conspicuously on the cruise ship in the Bosphorus Bay Strait, or visit the tower alone. A very interesting attraction. If you are rich in time, you may wish to take a look.

When I visit this spot. Maiden Tower under Renovation, so i cant crossing and visit this spotVery Sad

During a tour of the Bosporus Strait in Istanbul, a tower at sea attracted the attention of tourists. Only when they asked the guide did they know that it was the "Girl Tower". It is a beacon on the Bosporus Strait, originally for military purposes, but in the turn of the century, it is stained with sad romance. Legend has it that the king shut her up in an isolated lighthouse to protect her daughter, but the curse inevitably came true, and the princess remained in the lighthouse forever. It's so sad and tragic. Now, the lighthouse is a restaurant.

The 2,500-year-old Girls Tower stands on a platform in the middle of the Bosphorus seawater, actually a lighthouse and a symbol of Istanbul. But there are many beautiful legends. It is said that the Byzantine king had imprisoned his daughter here, and the princess had eaten the witch's poisoned apple and died in the arms of the old king.
