It dominates the entrance to the Black Sea. This Byzantine fortress became Ottoman, under Yıldırım Beyazıt (1389-1402). With a length of 500 m and a width of 30 m to 60 m, it will be restored and equipped with a small mosque as part of a large programme undertaken by the Sultan Bayazıt II (1481-1512). The easiest way to get there: via Anadolu Kavağı. Next to the fortress is a café-restaurant with a magnificent view of the Bosporus.

Perchées sur une colline de la rive asiatique du Bosphore, à la confluence de la mer noire, se dressent les ruines du château de Yoros [l’origine du nom de Yoros viendrait de “oros” (montagne) ou “ourios” (vents favorable)]. La forteresse qui surplombe aujourd’hui le village d'Anadolu Kavağı, terminus des ferries assurant la liaison depuis Istanbul, fut construite à un endroit stratégique, cette partie du Bosphore étant la plus étroite de la passe proche de l’embouchure de la mer noire.

this fortress is on a hill and overlooks the entrance of the Bosphorus and the Black Sea, very beautiful view, they are ruins but a lot of charm. To get there, a path in the sun, remember to take water! Otherwise there is always kids who sell some.
