Poyrazköy

Poyrazköy is the last village on the Anatolian side of the Bosphorus before the Black Sea opens out — at the very north tip of the strait, opposite the Rumeli Feneri lighthouse on the European shore. The village is a small fishing hamlet, with a working harbour for day-boat operations and a row of fish restaurants along the seafront. Behind the village, the Poyraz Kalesi Ottoman fort ruins sit on the cliff, originally built to control the Black Sea approach and now a hiking destination. The Black Sea itself begins just 500 metres further north, with a sharp current change at the boundary. Poyrazköy is 60 minutes from Beykoz by sail. Season runs April through October; the upper Bosphorus can be windy.
