Çengelköy
Çengelköy is one of the ancient and nice district of residence in the
Boshporus. The district is located around a wide cove between Beylerbeyi
and Vaniköy is under the administration of Üsküdar. In Çengelköy where
many mansions and summer residences were built in Ottoman period, few of
those still exist. Çengelköy which is still one of the most beautiful
spots in the Boshporus is also famous for its orchards. Though the
constructions in its surroundings veil its beauty, its small cucumbers
nicknamed as Çengelköy almonds, with beloved Çınaraltı and its name
given since many hooks (çengel) were seen on the coast after the
conquest of Istanbul define the district. Its small and fresh cucumbers
which once grew in the famous orchards of the district, now
unfortunately grow in Kandıra. The reason is that now there is no place
for it in this small and cute district. You can now find the freshest
cucumbers, once sold in the displays by the road, in Çengelköy Grocery
Store. |
