Description
Anadolu Kavagi, the last station on the Asiatic side, an authentic Turkish village in Macar Bay, between two promontories with abandoned forts. On the northern promontory are the picturesque ruins of the Byzantine Castle of Yoroz Kalesi, known since the 14th century as the Genoese Castle. In antiquity the promontory and the strait (one of the narrowest points in the Bosporus) were called Hieron (Sacred Place), after the Altar of the Twelve Gods and a Temple of Zeus Ourios, granter of fair winds.
Beyond Macar Bay lies the wide Keçili Bay, bounded on the north by the Fil Burun promontory.
