The Maiden’s Tower, also known as Leander’s Tower since the medieval Byzantine period, is a tower on a small islet at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus strait 200 m from the coast of Üsküdar in Istanbul, Turkey. After the naval victory at Cyzicus, the ancient Athenian general Alcibiades possibly built a custom station for ships coming from the Black Sea on a small rock in front of Chrysopolis. In 1110 Byzantine Emperor Alexius Comnenus built a wooden tower protected by a stone wall. From the tower an iron chain stretched across to another tower erected on the European shore, at the quarter of Mangana in Constantinople. The islet was then connected to the Asiatic shore through a defense wall, whose underwater remains are still visible. During the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the tower held a Byzantine garrison commanded by the Venetian Gabriele Trevisano. Subsequently, the structure was used as a watchtower by the Ottoman Turks during the reign of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror.
The tower, often called Leander’s Tower in reference to the legend of Hero and Leander, was destroyed during the earthquake of 1509, and then burned down in 1721.

Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye) is a bi-continental country: while geographically most of the country is located in Europe, most of its population and land area is established in Asia.
The Ottoman Empire was the final great Islamic empire, lasting from 1299 to 1922, and it was that empire which finally wrested control of Constantinople from Christendom.
Turkey gives a wealth of destination varieties to travelers: from dome-and-minaret filled horizon of Istanbul to Roman ruins along the western and southern beaches, from heavily indented coastline against a mountainous backdrop of Lycia and wide and sunny beaches of Pamphylia to cold and snowy mountains of the East, from crazy “foam parties” of Bodrum to Middle Eastern-flavored cities of Southeastern Anatolia, from verdant misty hills of Eastern Black Sea to wide steppe landscapes of Central Anatolia, there is something for everyone’s feeling—whether they be travelling on an extravagant budget by riding or by a multi-million boat.
