Maiden's Tower - Kz Kulesi - Lets Go Turley

Go to Salacak and sit on a bank and watch her.She has a proud stance as if she carries the weight of a longhistory on her shoulders.Look behind her, to theright and left when watchng her;everything is full of life.Ferries,motorboats and skiffs sail by.You want to take a picture of her but is possible to catch her without anything being behind her in the bosom ofistanbul? You have to wait until she calms down a little.She watches around in silence, calmness and inactievenss wthout tiring of being the symbol of this view for 2,500 years, and maybe in a little sadness in all this commotion.Just think about all the things she has witnessed in the centuries that have passed.
