They are found on both sides of the Bosphorus but especially the Asian side. They are usually second homes for the very wealthy. Ultra-modern Mansions719 viewsNo throwing stones here. The Squeeze675 viewsSome yali are built so close together that there's literally no daylight between them. Local Color722 viewsThis yali took the prize for having the most flamboyant color. Tall and Slender720 viewsIf you can't build out, build up. Really Skinny Yali722 viewsThe price of real estate here means that you have to make the most of every square inch. It's the same principle that led to building skyscrapers in New York. Fixer-Upper658 viewsAn unusual sight in this upper-crust neighborhood - probably an old house in the process of being torn down and replaced with a new one. Tower Yali716 viewsHouse with its own mini-minaret - or could it be a neighborhood mosque? The Beylerbeyi Palace640 viewsOn the Asian side of the Bosphorus; used as a summer residence by the Sultan. (These guys had more palaces than they knew what to do with.) Mihrimah Sultan Mosque634 views16th-century mosque in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul, on the Asian side. The older and smaller of two Istanbul mosques commissioned by Mihrimah, daughter of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent; the other is on the European side, in the Fatih district. Maiden's Tower - Kiz Kulesi607 viewsAccessible only by boat, this tower on a tiny islet in the Bosphorus is a place of legend. It also has a restaurant where we would enjoy a farewell journey the following evening. Rüstem Pasha Mosque651 viewsNamed for the Grand Vizier and son-in-law of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, this mosque was designed by the great architect Mimar Sinan and completed in 1563. 49 files on 5 page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 6a14f5a579c382b415a68ddb173d6969 [am] => 1 [liv] => Array ( [0] => 732 [1] => 882 [2] => 1169 ) [liv_a] => Array ( [0] => 52 [1] => 34 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.28 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.1 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '0e825ce86d38c6a703a3bc17805edef1' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.09 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.11 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.06 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.06 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.05 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.09 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-07-30 14:40:58' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.4 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.63' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.27 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.07 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 34 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.24 ms) [12] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.85 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '34' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.28 ms) [14] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '34' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.06 ms) [15] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 34 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.21 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='34' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.31 ms) [17] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 34 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 1 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (1.22 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.13 ms) [19] => UPDATE cm_albums SET alb_hits = alb_hits + 1 WHERE aid = 34 [include/functions.inc.php:2895] (0.24 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 34 [page] => 4 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YTo0OntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiI2YTE0ZjVhNTc5YzM4MmI0MTVhNjhkZGIxNzNkNjk2OSI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6MzoibGl2IjthOjM6e2k6MDtzOjM6IjczMiI7aToxO3M6MzoiODgyIjtpOjI7czo0OiIxMTY5Ijt9czo1OiJsaXZfYSI7YToxOntpOjA7aTo1Mjt9fQ== [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => d2f7eaa6b13fc358934ce047b772c8d9 ) ==========================
