Murat IV fort at Anadolu Kavagi, reached after a 20 minutes walk uphill.


Murat IV castle, cruisade marks left by the Genovese.


View from the Murat IV castle towards the black sea inlet,
and the construction works for the 3th Bosporus bridge, it will be the
widest suspension bridge of the world: 8 lanes of motorway + 2 lanes of railway.
