About this activity
Explore the Golden Horn

The Golden Horn, also known by its Turkish name as Haliç, separates the historic center of Istanbul from the rest of the city, and forms a natural, sheltered harbor that has historically protected Roman, Byzantine and Ottomanand other maritime trade ships for thousands of years.

Archaeological records show urban presence on and around the Golden Horn dating back to as far as 6700 BCE.

The deep natural harbor provided by the Golden Horn has always been a major economic attraction and strategic military advantage for Eastern Roman, Byzantium, Constantinople and finally Istanbul.
