Buselik Meyhane - Anadolu Hisarı
Grab a drink at Buselik Meyhane. The terrace is just a two-minute walk from the citadel and offers a prelude to the view.
17:49
Walk up to the Anadolu Citadel. The path is short and steep. Stand on the bank and look west toward the narrowing strait.
17:59
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light hits the stone walls of the citadel and reflects off the water just before 17:59.
18:29
Walk down to Thai Roll Ice for a late treat. It is a fifteen-minute walk from the citadel and stays open until 00:30.
Local tip
The citadel interior is closed, so the experience relies on the exterior views and the nearby cafes.
