Salacak

After the completion of the restoration work of the The Maiden's Tower, one of the symbolic buildings of Istanbul, which started in 2021, the historical structure will be reopened to visitors on March 1.

As the renovation on the panoramic shores of Salacak is underway in Istanbul, the municipality brings the project to life, as decided by a competition in 2022.

The plans of the project, which will completely transform the waterfront, include new areas such as a continuous bicycle path along the coast, cafes and outdoor workspaces.

In commemoration of World Environment Day on June 5, volunteers and divers have come together for the "Clean Environment, Clean Üsküdar" event held at the Istanbul district's Salacak beach aiming to tackle the issue of waste accumulated around the Maiden's Tower.

Complaints have been pouring in about the loud music emanating from tourist boats sailing in the Bosphorus until late at night, with numerous residents living around the iconic strait expressing their grievances regarding the noise.

Two individuals have been detained following an attack on Istanbul Municipality officials during the demolition of illegal cafes in Üsküdar district.

One person has been killed and three others have been injured after a car crashed into a home garden after flying off a street and through a row of hedges in Istanbul's Üsküdar district.
