I really love this tower. You can look at it from the shore (it is very close), you can swim to it by boat, wander around this island, enjoy the views, climb to the top, take beautiful photos. The format of the restaurant changes from year to year, then a full-fledged institution, then a small coffee shop, but it is worth visiting anyway, especially at sunset.
A beautiful lighthouse that is perfectly visible from the Asian part of Istanbul, which can be reached by ferry. For real romantics, there is currently a small restaurant inside.
One of the sights of Istanbul. You can get there by ferry. In front of the tower there is a square and benches to sit and enjoy the view.
For me, visiting the tower became a one-time action: I saw and forgot.
