Istanbul amazes you with unique locations and cultural hubs. The Golden Horn in Istanbul is a horn shaped fiord that beautifies the European side of the city. Historically, this place was of utmost importance as it was the same point where the Byzantine and Ottoman fleet and commercial ships were anchored. As you walk down this area today, you will come across many parks and promenades that reflect from the ancient sites that are strewn around. The site has been named after the golden color of water at the time of sunset as it reflects the sunshine. Truly a mesmerizing location!
