Walks in Yedikule.

One walking route through Yedikule — a Claude-drafted route awaiting the editor's walk — plus nearby routes for the same morning.

The Theodosian walls, the seven-towered fortress, and Byzantium's triumphal gate — four kilometres along the stones.

Other walks close to Yedikule.

Sorted by distance from the start of yedikule and the land walls: the old defensive spine. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Mehmed II's mosque, his türbe in the courtyard, and the Çarşamba market — religious working Istanbul.

The Armenian and Greek quarter on the south side — fish meyhanes in covered passages, the patriarchates around them.

Sinan's masterpiece, his own tomb in the garden, and the old book bazaar to close the morning.

Sinan's apprentice mosque, a boza shop since 1876, and the Byzantine Pantokrator on the next street.
