Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, and Byzantium long before that, was the seat of power for the consecutive Roman and Ottoman Empires – a place long accus- tomed to providing culture, comfort and entertainment for the local populace and visiting dignitaries. Today the city straddles two continents – Europe and Asia – a geographical idiosyncrasy that helpfully splits it into two distinct parts, divided in half by the Bosphorus Strait. You can find some of the country’s most iconic historical attractions and modern nightspots on the European side, while some of the city’s top residential districts are located on the Asian half of the waterway, which is connected by the mighty Galata Bridge. Istan- bul is also home to a stunning collection of traditional and contemporary restaurants, winning international attention from food critics worldwide. From the ancient Hagia Sophia Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the resplendent Blue Mosque, to the mod- ern luxury hotels that line the banks of the Bosphorus, the city is bursting at the seams with attractions to lure visitors from all corners of the globe. 9 Tastes of Turkey 1 stanbul’s gourmet scene has exploded 1 ZUMA 2 TUGRA I over the last few years, as more and German chef Rainer Becker’s hugely For what might well be the best Turkish more chefs and restaurateurs realised the successful Zuma was an instant hit with cuisine in town, head to Tugra Restaurant city’s huge potential as the world’s next locals and visitors alike when it opened in and Lounge at the elegant Kempinski major tourism hotspot.

SLike the French equivalent, Antalya and the surrounding coastal villages are home to an array of mouth-watering restaurants serving fresh fish and seafood, with rows of yachts and sailboats jostling for space in busy marinas or moored in idyllic bays, and a laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere that seduces visi- tors into staying a little bit longer than planned. The city boasts a rich ancient heritage with Greek, Roman and most recently Turkish influences. Once a trading hub, it is now best known for its beautiful beaches, natural waterfalls, and luxury resorts, as well as its proximity to more than its fair share of historic sites, from the ancient cities of Perga and Aspendos to the Antalya Archaeological Museum and its collection of marble statues. Antalya’s mild climate makes it one of Turkey’s lead- ing agricultural centres, with fragrant orange groves flourishing beneath centuries-old aqueducts, and mouth-watering strawberries bursting with flavour sold at roadside stands.

  • The Vakf Institution in Ottoman Cyprus
    Ottoman Cyprus A Collection of Studies on History and Culture Edited by Michalis N. Michael, Matthias Kappler and Eftihios Gavriel 2009 Harrassowitz Verlag · Wiesbaden ISSN 0932-2728 ISBN 978-3-447-05899-5 The Vakf Institution in Ottoman Cyprus Netice Yıldız * Introduction: The legacy of Vakf in Cyprus The pious foundations, called vakf (Turkish: vakıf ) or evkaf (plural) in Cyprus were launched on 15 th September 1570 by converting the cathedral of the city into a mosque and laying it as the first pious foundation in the name of the Sultan followed by others soon after. Since then it has been one of the deep-rooted Ottoman institutions on the island to survive until today under the office of the Turkish Cypriot Vakf Administration (Kıbrıs Türk Vakıflar Đdaresi) (Fig. 1). Alongside its main mission to run all the religious affairs and maintain all religious buildings, it is one of the most important business enterprises in banking, farming and tourism sectors as well as the leading philanthropy organisation in the Turkish Cypriot society. Among its most important charity works is to provide support and service to people of low income status by allocating accommodation at rather low cost, or to give scholarships for young people, as it did in the past, using the income derived from the enterprises under its roof and rents collected from its estates. Besides this, the institution incorporates a mission dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the old vakf monuments in collaboration with the Department of Antiquities and Monuments. Another task of the vakf was to ensure the family properties to last from one generation to the others safely in accordance with the conditions of the deed of foundation determined by the original founder.

  • Dendrochronologically Dated Ottoman Monuments
    Dendrochronologically Dated Ottoman Monuments Peter Ian Kuniholm 4 Dendrochronologically Dated Ottoman Monuments Peter Ian Kuniholm INTRODUCTION Dendrochronology or tree-ring dating has been carried out by the author in former Ottoman lands since 1973. The method is, at its sim- plest, to compare the alternately small and large annual growth-rings from trees from a given climate region-in this case as far west as Bosnia and as far east as Erzurum-and to match them so that a unique year-by-year growth profile may be developed. By means of this a precise date determination, accurate even to the year in which the wood was cut, is possible. See Kuniholm (1995) for a fuller discussion of the method; and then see Kuniholm and Striker (1983; 1987) and Kuniholm (1996) for earlier date-lists of Ottoman, post-Byzantine, and Byzantine buildings, including brief notices of dates for a dozen more dated Ottoman buildings, principally in Greece, and additional notices of sampled but not yet dated buildings which are not repeated here. What follows is a compilation, in reverse chronological order, of over fifty dated buildings or sites (more if one counts their constituent parts) from the nineteenth century back to the twelfth (Figure 4.1). Some are major monuments (imperial mosques, sarays, sifayes) clearly deserving of more comprehensive treatment than can be pro- vided here; others (tiirbes, mescits, obscure medreses, and private houses) are little-known, perhaps even unheard of except to special- ists; but all help to form part of the tree-ring sequence which begins with the rings of trees still standing in Turkish forests and extends in an unbroken chain to A.D.360 for oak, A.D.743 for pine, and A.D.1037 for juniper.

This article examines some of the forces that helped shape Argul Weave into one coherent, and visionary, composition: from theories of modern architecture to practical knowledge of local customs, and ponders the importance of the structure in summoning the varied resources of Turkey’s Hinterland while also facilitating the creative synergy among the locals (workers, residents, users).

The sample was identified based on both conventional methods and ITS rDNA region-based molecular phylogeny. By taking into account the high sequence similarity between the sample (ANK Akata & Altuntaş 690) and Battarrea phalloides the relevant specimen was considered to be B. Phalloides and the morphological data also strengthen this finding. In this study, photos of macro and microscopic structures, a short description, scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of spores and elaters, and the ITS rDNA region-based molecular phylogeny of the samples were given. Also, the distribution of B. phalloides specimens identified thus far from Turkey was revealed for the first time in this study.
