Oh yes, New York is a big city - but the "Lady Liberty" is looking very nice!

Hi there, I'm currently looking for someone to be friend with, in Ayvalık. I'll presumably be in Ayvalık in the beggining of the August. I'm almost about to end my 13rd age, and my name is Onur. I'm looking forward to come to Ayvalık and meet the people who come there from other countries. It's a truly pretty nice place. It's why, I and my parents visit there, every summertime. So briefly, if you're interested in what I'm looking for, you contact me by the following address.

Have a nice vacationing!

BU DÜNYANIN İŞİNE BAK

BU DÜNYANIN İŞİNE BAK KURU BİR SEVGİNİN ESİRİ OLDUM SEVMİYORUM HİÇBİR ZAMAN DÜŞÜNÜRKEN BEN SENİ BİR ANLIĞINA KARŞIMDA BULDUM.

BAŞIMA DOLANIP DÖNENLER OLDU. FIRSAT VERMEDİM ONLARA İNAN KARGIŞAMI DÜŞTÜM BİLMİYORUM BELKİ, DEDİLER SEVGİSİZ ALEVLENİP YAN

ŞİMDİYSE SEVİYORUM KARŞILIĞI YOK SEVDİĞİM SEVMİYOR ONU SEVENİ HAYATI N GARİP OYUNLARI VAR. GEREKKİ ÇEKERİM BAŞA GELENİ

NEYLESİN SEVMİYOR YÜREĞİ YOKTUR. HASRETİ SİNEMDE BİN YILLIK YOLDU. SEVGİN BENİMDİR SENSE ÖZGENİN KALBİMDE SEVGİNİN İZLERİ KALDI.

The nine small islands about 20 km (10.5 miles) southeast of the center of Istanbul in the Sea of Marmara were called the Princes Islands by foreign chroniclers (because of Byzantine emperors' practice of sending bothersome princes there to be blinded, exiled or executed), but today's citizens of Istanbul call them simply Adalar ("The Islands").

In medieval times they were the sites of monasteries, away from the bustle and temptations of the city., but with the advent of steamships and convenient ferryboat service the 19th century, the four larger islands—Büyükada, Heybeliada, Burgazada and Kinaliada— became summer resorts. Istanbul's wealthy Ottoman families, especially Greeks, Jews and Armenians, built elaborate Victorian summer cottages along the narrow island-village streets.

The quiet ambience of a century ago is preserved today as no private motor vehicles are allowed on any of the islands. Everyone walks, or rides bicycles, or takes horse-drawn carriages (fayton).

In summer, six to 10 ferries a day make the 90-minute voyage from the Kabatas ferry dock to Kinaliada, Burgazada, Heybeliada and Büyükada. More...

The voyage is half the fun as your ferry enters steams down the Bosphorus and into the Sea of Marmara, showing you Topkapi Palace, Ayasofya, the Blue Mosque, Seraglio Point, and indeed all of Istanbul, from a different angle.

On your first visit go to Büyükada, the most interesting island, where you can take an island tour by horse-drawn carriage, or rent a bike and tour the island yourself, and have lunch or dinner, and sip drinks, and even perhaps have a swim at one of the tiny beaches.

jjjjja, aber dann lieber gleich bei mir :-)
