Lonely Planet İstanbul Guide

The ferry’s next stop is at Ayvansaray on the opposite shore. From here you can visit the Kariye Museum (Chora Church) or walk up to Edirnekapı to see a well-preserved section of the historic city walls. It’s possible to see part of the wall structure from the ferry. From Ayvansaray, the ferry crosses to Sütlüce and returns to the western shore to terminate at Eyüp . This conservative suburb is built around the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, one of the most important religious sites in Turkey.
