When buying tickets (admission costs 6 euros), the cashier girl immediately warned that the fortress is at the station and you can only walk in the garden (Oct.2024)
In the garden, the plants have signs with descriptions in Turkish and English and there is a QR code leading to the Wikipedia page. For the first time I saw how pomegranate, laurel and walnut grow, it's interesting.
The upper platform offers a beautiful view of the Bosphorus. There are benches where you can sit down and watch the passing ships.
Next to the fortress you can walk along the embankment, there is a restaurant. There is a marina near the entrance, from there take the ferry to Uskudar.
There were few tourists. The walk turned out to be calm and relaxed. I liked.

It works until 17 o'clock. It's empty inside, there's nothing to see. It's just that if you're an impressionable person, you'll be fine there. Around, next to the top, there is something to come up with in your head. Some kind of story, and since all the fortresses are in Istanbul. It's the same everywhere. We drove to the ITU University station, went through the bazaar, bought oranges and tangerines. We went down to the entrance to the fortress, watched, enjoyed and ate. I'm an impressionable aunt, and my daughter is a realist... well, she's so-so.

A very beautiful place, I recommend you to visit. Now (August 2024) a lot of things are closed for restoration for two years, but there is still somewhere to walk and what to see. Gorgeous views, not crowded, close to the ferry station
