The Galata Tower
It
looks pretty scary first when you’re up there, but it's Okay. There is even a
story about it but I'm not sure if you will learn it.
It's okay because when you
stayed up there for about 5-10m you are accustomed to it. You can see it from
very far.
It was built in1348 in Constantinople
(Istanbul) it is know as the tower of the Christ. It’s to the north of the
Golden Horn, it was rebuilt several times. There is a modern restaurant, café
on the upper floor with an extra magnificent view of Istanbul and the Bosphorus.The
tower is66.90 meters high 62.59 without the ornament. It was built to replace
the old tower built in 1203
In1717the Galata tower was
used to spot fire in the city. Another fire damaged the tower in1838. In1875the
roof was destroyed because of a storm, unfortunately it stayed there
until1965-1967.from the top of the tower, the first French panorama painter
drew Constantinople.
Pamukkale
The Pamukkale is so white so people thought it was made out of ice!!! Pamukkale is over 100meters in height and can be seen from the town Denizli. If you go to Pamukkale at the spring you can swim in the tadpoles.2,549 people says excellent , 816 people says very good , 251 people says average , 109 people says poor and 50 people says terrible!!!

there is two ways to go to top of the Pamukkale ! way is you walk till the top and the other way is you have to go back of Pamukkale and walk to Hierapolis
this is the picture of Hirapolis .
at the top there is hot spring and it is very nice but you have to pay 20TL .The Pamukkale water is getting smaller and smaller . i think it is of the global warming !!! And this is the picture of the hot spring.

Istanbul
Istanbul is a wonderful, amazing, impressive city. In older times, there was a capital city of time of Ottomans. Many stronger sultans conquered
many countries and they managed life in peace it where they have under their
control. This city. There is a point to I focus in the old time and now
Istanbul is very cosmopolitan and all the nationalities living here in peace as
before.
Other interesting thing is Istanbul has two side one is name of Asian other side is name Europe. That shows us many culture can live together as this two side.

Istanbul has big meaning and message to the entire
human race. Maybe we have much cultural difference but this not mean we can’t
live together in peace. Istanbul has shown that to us, since a thousand years.
the views of istanbul
In is Istanbul there are amazing views some are amazing like this
Most of the views are amazing because there is so much sunshine but some times it's cloudy like this it always amazing in high places by the sea or by the lovely grassland. the views in istanbul are exotic
Many views along the bosporus are amazing because there are many houses next to it , there also is a variety of restaurants which have a number of amazing foods which will blow your brain out of its sockets.
The Bosporus has many magnificent structures such as mosques , mansions and islands the best thing about the Bosporus is that it is free to park your boat but it is pretty hard because istanbul is a very busy country .
Did you know that turkey is 92 years old? , thats pretty young for a country but it is very old for a person LOL , this city was created by Ataturk the great .
lots of the buildings in istanbul are old , did you know that most of the older buildings in Istanbul are mostly better than the new ones , when i say old i mean about 20 to 40 years
years old. But by the sea
Did you know that the Bosporus straight is one of the separating Europe and Asian Turkey and it's joining the Black with the sea of Marmara , two of the sides have famous castles (or forts) there is the Anadolu Hisar on the Asian, and the Rumeli Hisar on the European side . Did you know the Bosporus bridge was once one of the biggest bridges in the world.
The bridge is a great place to take pictures especially at night,
the views of istanbul are amazing.
Most of them are amazing by the sea too
But some are better not by the sea ,most pictures are are taken on sunny days the third bridge has height views up to 221 meters and it is 1,408 meters wide
That is pretty good for a bridge especially next to the sea.
It is very wide it has 4 car lanes 2 for each side but now it is under construction so it is pretty hard to take a picture but I bet in 2016 April , it will be finished.
