Anadolu Feneri

About

Anadolu Feneri is a historical lighthouse still in use, located at Anadolufeneri on the Asian side of Bosphorus' Black Sea entrance in Istanbul, Turkey. "Anadolu" is the Turkish name for Anatolia and "fener" means lighthouse. It is across from the lighthouse Rumeli Feneri, on the European side of the strait at a distance of 2 nmi (3.7 km, 2.3 mi). A connecting line between the two lighthouses marks the northern boundary of the Port of Istanbul. Today the town is a fishermen's village in Beykoz district.
