The upper reaches of the castle were blocked off, but this man wasn't to be detered.

Once again, the guide books have a difference of opinion about the name of this castle: Eyewitness calls it "the Genoese Castle," and Rick Steves calls it Yoros Castle. Either way, it's above the town of Anadolu Kavağı on the Asian side of the north end of the Bosphorus. Great views of the Bosphorus and of the Black Sea.
