Istanbul’s Water Heritage Tour

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Istanbul's Water Heritage Tour with you! This self-guided tour takes you on a journey in the historic peninsula, where you can witness the memory and importance of water in Istanbul through time.

The tour was prepared as a collaborative effort of the Netherlands Institute in Turkey, Hrant Dink Foundation, Radboud University, and with the support of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam). We are deeply grateful to Mariëtte Verhoeven, Fokke Gerritsen, Damla Barın, Alvise Cecchetti, Aysel Arslan, and Kee-Lou Ooyman, as well as the whole KarDes team for their invaluable contributions to the preparation of this tour.

You can download the KarDes App to walk the tour on foot or even from your couch here.
