Review:

This horn-shaped inlet played an important role in the defense of the city and served as a trading harbor for many years before this activity was redirected to a different port on the Sea of Marmara. According to legend, the Golden Horn was given its name for the golden light that shines on the river at sunset. The parks along its shores are the perfect place to see the sun set and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Boat cruises, bus excursions, and walking tours are available to tourists who want to learn about its significance in the development of Istanbul.
