Last week I was invited to an area of Istanbul I had never been to. The area of Eyup is in the northern part of the Golden Horn. I was told the area was known for Pierre Loti...someone I had never heard of before. I was eager to learn about this French man who had a portion of this area dedicated to his memory. I guess the man liked a scenic view and some chai, because that is all I got from the trip. I still know absolutely nothing about why he has an area dedicated in his memory. I'll have to venture out again. I was hoping that going somewhere with someone woudl allow me to learn more about the area, but unfortunately that was not the case this time.
