The tulip is one of Istanbul's traditional symbols. Brought to the city from Iran centuries ago, it was favoured and cultivated here until tulip-love became a mania. In the so-called Tulip Period of Ottoman history, a rare tulip variety could be sold for a breathtaking sum.

Çiya --- like its name, brings to mind high mountain peaks and mountain flowers. In the old days when one would go only for a good kebab or a good lahmacun and those that knew the name "Çiya" could learn the meaning just by asking, a dinning experience that is known as "Çiya" was born in this nest. To this wealth of gourmet expertise a second specially set-up "Sofra" or Kebab House was added. Soon after within a few meters of each other a third "kebab house" was added, hence the three"Çiya"s. Located in the Fish Market district of Kadiköy, where one's path will definitely be drawn to one of these establishments .

The existence of "Polonezkoy" within Istanbul is a cultural and historical event that has never before been seen in the world. This village was established in Istanbul after Poland was invaded by its neighbours Russia, Austria and Prussia in 1775.

The Ottoman Empire was against the idea of this invasion. The Empire supported Poland and Polish immigrants by giving them this heavenly place for settlement.

His tomb is greatly venerated by Muslims, attracting many pilgrims. Some of the personal belongings of the Prophet Muhammad are preserved in the tomb.
