Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, the third necklace of the Bosphorus, is located between Garipçe neighborhood of Sarıyer on the European side and Poyrazköy neighborhood of Beykoz on the Anatolian side.
Poyrazköy, which was once a small and cute fishing village, is among the rare places on the Bosphorus suitable for swimming with its fine sandy beach.
Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge is the widest bridge in the world with a width of 59 meters. It also has the highest tower in the world in the leaning suspension bridge class and the second tallest in all bridge classes. It is the longest bridge with a rail system on it, a main span of 1,408 meters among these towers, which has a full height of 322 meters.
Offering stunning views with its magnificent architecture and lighting, the bridge presents unforgettable moments with its colourful reflections on the sea. The secret of these colourful light games is the 120 kilometre’s cable and 450 thousand LED lamps used on the bridge..
