Eyüp
Eyüp, on Istanbul's European shore at the head of the Golden Horn, draws visitors above all to the tomb of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari — companion and standard-bearer of the Prophet Muhammad — which has made this waterside district one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in Turkey. The surrounding neighbourhood is dense with historic religious architecture, café-lined streets, and viewpoints over the Golden Horn, while the wider district stretches north to the Black Sea coast.
