THE GOLDEN HORN

ISTANBUL, TURKEY





The Golden Horn also known by its modern Turkish name as Haliç, is a major urban waterway and the primary inlet of the Bophorus in Istanbul, Turkey.


This prominent body of water is a horn-shaped estuary that joins Bosphorus Strait at the immediate point where the strait meets the Sea of Marmara,

It forms a narrow, isolated peninsula, the tip of which is "Old Istanbul" (ancient Byzantium and Constantinople), and Seraglio Point.
