After we got off the cruise boat, we had been enjoying for about an hour along the Bosphorus, we went in search of a taxi, which we hoped could take us to our next stop; the old ruins of the Anatolian Fortress.

We had seen this old Fortress several times, during our touring around, but we had never been up close. What a surprise to learn the roadway went right through what once was the Fortress grounds. There were many parts of the Fortress still available to see, but it was a bit different trying to get photos of ruins, as a whole.

We zig zagged across the busy road to complete our exploration, here at the Anatolian Fortress, and as luck would have it, our taxi driver was still hanging around, when we were ready to go to our next stop. We got in, and he took us to the next castle ruins we wanted to go to.

When picking ancient sites to see, Turkey has many old castles, palaces, and other relic architecture to choose from. When in Istanbul, one does not have to go too far to find them, it just takes a bit of coordinating, as well as implementing some reasonable time management skills, due to the large size of the city, as well as the heavy traffic that is normal for Istanbul; daily. It’s well worth the effort, and we have enjoyed each visit to several old sites in Istanbul, and love learning about the history of ancient ruins.
