About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a positive, cheerful and funny person who enjoys every moment of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Act like the sun in love and compassion.
Act like a river in friendship and fraternity!
Act like the night in covering the faults of others!
Act like the soil in humility and selflessness
Act like dead one in anger and furry!
Either act in accordence with the way you look,
or look in accordance with the way you act!

(Either exist as you are or be as you look.)

Rumi

Smoke water pipe : You’ll find the highest concentration of water pipe cafés in Tophane, hence its nickname Nargile Central.

ulien Viaud, the French naval officer who wrote novels under the pen name of Pierre Loti, used to come to this Istanbul hilltop overlooking Eyüp and the Golden Horn (map) to contemplate the city he had come to love:

In Loti's time, the café was a simple, humble place with a few stools and a small stove for brewing Turkish coffee.

Today the café is far nicer, with shady tables, a variety of beverages and snacks, and even a hotel and full-fledged restaurant.

Because the café is a bit out of the way, the easiest way to visit it is on an Istanbul city tour that also takes in all the other sights in the western district out by the city walls: the imperial Mosque of Eyüp, the Byzantine City Walls, the splendid mosaics in the Kariye Museum (Chora Church), Mihrimah Sultan Mosque, and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. More...

If you come on your own and feel like walking, make the 15-minute stroll uphill from Eyüp through the picturesque cemetery (map). If not, take the cable car, and walk down to Eyüp after your coffee.
