About Çengelköy Lighthouse
Çengelköy Lighthouse stands on the east bank of the Bosporus in Istanbul's Çengelköy neighborhood. The cylindrical, fiberglass tower, 13 meters tall, features white paint with three narrow red horizontal bands. It emits a red flash every 15 seconds, visible for 11.9 nautical miles. This structure marks the first sharp turn in the Bosporus for northbound vessels, situated just north of the Boğaziçi Bridge. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. Its nearest port is Beylerbeyi, 0.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides northbound ships around the first critical turn in the Bosporus, just past the Boğaziçi Bridge, contributing to maritime safety in a busy strait.
