The Maiden Tower, one of Istanbul's most visited historical monuments, has been reopened to visitors. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism reported that the tower was strengthened after more than 2 years of painstaking work with the involvement of experts.
Access to the Maiden Tower is provided from the Karakey pier in connection with the work on the organization of the coastal zone Üsküdar Salacak. Boat trips from the pier in front of the Ziraat Bank in Karakey are carried out every half hour from 9.30 to 17.00. A light and laser show is held every evening at 21.00 on the Maiden Tower.
