KOMODOR REMZİ BEY Yalısı
/ COMMODORE REMZI BEY Mansion
In 1390, Yildirim Beyazit
built Anadoluhisari, which is the castle on the Asian side of the
Bosphorus. This was the narrowest part of the Bosphorus and he built
it intending to capture Istanbul easily.
The Komodor Remzi Bey Yali
was built next to and it was rebuilt in 1917. Later, it was sold to
the General Mümtaz Aktay.
The present owner since
1970 is Sevinç Inönü, the daughter of the famous Turkish shipowner
Ali Sohtorik. She is also the wife of Erdal Inönü, who, in turn, is
more famous for his political career than for his academic prowess
in physiscs.
