One of the most sacred places for Muslims, Eyüp is a friendly place, and holds the tomb of one of the close friends of the Prophet Mohamed.
A boat ride down the Golden Horn from Eminönü takes you to the district of Eyüp. You can clearly see the extensive cemetery on the hills on the bend in the Golden Horn, and you know that you are about to arrive. Once docked, a short walk takes you to the Eyüp Sultan Camii, or Mosque of the Great Eyüp. Inside a small courtyard, an enormous tree that supposedly was planted by Mehmet the Conqueror gives shade, and the outer wall of Ayyub's tomb, completely covered by blue tiles, is strikingly beautiful. Worshippers constantly come here to pray - it is believed that prayers made here, are always accepted.
