Introduction

Istanbul is a coastal city with the most obvious landmark being the Maiden's Tower. Unlike other tourist attractions, the Maiden's Tower is a serene lighthouse that is not grand or iconic in its form. However, it has a rich history of 2500 years and has given Istanbul many sad historical legends, the most famous of which is the love story of Hero and Leandros. Therefore, the Maiden's Tower has become a symbol of true love in Istanbul.
