Why Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque matters
This small mosque has a courtyard that opens on to the river. Visitors can step inside, and for a small fee climb the narrow minaret for a bird's-eye view of the bridge and the old town. The staircase is tight, so take your time. Dress modestly.
Talking points
- The minaret is open to climb for a view of the Old Bridge.
- It stands right on the riverbank.
- Visitors should dress modestly.
