Emirgan Pier: This pier is a boutique pier with its nostalgic textures. You can have a meal with a view of the Bosphorus at the restaurant opposite and take a walk on the Sariyer beach.
Emirgan Pier History: Like most Bosphorus piers, Emirgan pier was put into service in 1851. This pier, which had undergone a major repair in 1897, was in front of the Abdulhamid I Mosque at that time. In 1900, when a new pier building was built on an empty place a little south of it for 23,900 kuruş, the old building was removed. Over time, this pier was called Mirgün Pier and at one time Uluköy Pier, but later it started to be called Emirgan Pier again. This new pier building was closed in March 1989 while the coastal road was being reorganized. The pier building, which remained closed for about 12 years, was rebuilt in 2001 with a concrete pile system and was put into service again on November 24, 2001. The length of the ferry berth of the pier is 15.6, the height of the pier from the water is 1.2, the depth of the front of the pier is 7.7 meters.
Küçüksu Pier: It is a spacious pier with green areas to sit on. You can visit the Küçüksu Summer Palace right next to it while waiting for the next time. You can also rent a bike from the nearby isbike station and take a tour in Küçüksu Millet Park.
History of Küçüksu Pier: The Küçüksu Pier, which was built much later than the other Bosphorus piers, was an empty place where fishermen cast their nets into the sea and caulked their boats that they pulled ashore. In the early 1930s, Company-i Hayriye made use of this coast by creating a beautiful beach here and built a pier, allowing the ferries going to the Upper Bosphorus to stop here as well. This pier is wooden and was next to the historical Küçüksu Pavilion. However, when Küçüksu beach started to lose its former popularity, it lost more than its passengers. The pier, which was visited by ferries for the last time in 1980, was closed and the pier building started to serve as a teahouse. In the summer of 2007, a new pier was built for the Beşiktaş – Küçüksu line.
Beylerbeyi Pier: There are many restaurants and cafes around Beylerbeyi Pier, which is in a touristic area. Nearby, Beylerbeyi Palace is a palace built between 1863-65, overlooking the vast blue of the Bosphorus. Beylerbeyi Palace and its buildings, a 19th-century work that impresses with its set gardens and fascinates with its mansions, is a unique place where history and historical characters are guests. Be sure to visit.
History of Beylerbeyi Pier: In the photographs of the first wooden pier built in a place called Meydanönü, it is seen that the ferries docked at a small pontoon attached to the pier. Since the pier building was badly damaged in the great earthquake in 1894, it was renovated in 1898 by a journeyman named Kemal Ağa. The building, which served for years, was rebuilt as reinforced concrete after it was closed in the early 2000s. The ferry berth was also renewed on the concrete pile system and was put into service again in 2006. The length of the ferry docking area of the pier, which has a small fishing shelter next to it, is 15.2 meters, the height of the pier above the water is 1.3 meters, and the depth of the front of the pier is 5.7 meters.
