(Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdülmecid, 1855) If you travel to Ortaköy, a small fishing village just south of the Boğaziçi Köprüsü (Bosphorus Bridge) that spans the Bosphorus and walk past the shops and restaurants down to the water you will find a beautiful mosque at the waters edge.

Another view of Tash Rabat

Don't let what appears to be a road in front of the fortress deceive you: we had to walk a solid hour from the point where the dirt/gravel track was impassible by our car in order to reach the caravanserai.
