EDİP EFENDİ Yalısı
/ EDIP EFENDI Mansion
The Edip Efendi yali is
situated in Kandilli at one of the narrowest points on the
Bosphorus. This is where the currents are the strongest.
It was named after a much
respected government officer of the Ottoman Empire.
This yali has become a
popular news item during Prime Minister Özal's regime, because its
most recent owner Ugur Mengenecioglu has been involved in a bribery
scandal.
A former tenant in this
yali, Dorina Lady Neave, described life on the Bosphorus during the
previous century , in her book “Romance of the Bosphorus”.
