The Rumeli Lighthouse was established in 1856 to ensure the safe passage of ships entering the Bosphorus Strait from the Black Sea.

In this activity, we begin our walk in the Sarıyer forests, starting from Rumeli Feneri. We then walk 6 kilometers along the Black Sea coast, heading west. From there, we venture inland into the forest, following forest roads and trails, passing by a lake and a stream, until we reach Rumeli Kavağı.

I am listening to Istanbul.

I am listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed;

First, a gentle breeze blows.

It's swaying gently.

The leaves are on the trees.

Far away, very far away.

The water carriers' bells never stop ringing.

I am listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed.

I am listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed;

As the birds are migrating,

From the heights, in large flocks, with piercing cries.

Nets are being set in the estuaries.

A woman's feet are touching the water.

I am listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed.
