Slip into Shemsi Ahmet Pasha Mosque, a quiet waterside gem on Üsküdar's shore. Wander its small garden with Bosphorus views and see the compact interior before continuing along the seafront.
Full description
Shemsi Ahmet Pasha Mosque sits right on the Üsküdar seaside walkway, a short stroll from the ferry terminal on the way toward the Maiden's Tower. Its modest size and quiet garden facing the Bosphorus set it apart from the grander imperial mosques across the water.
Reviewers recommend arriving early on a weekday, when it is nearly empty and the setting feels especially serene. Entry is free and a visit takes about 20 minutes, making it a natural pause on a waterfront walk along the Asian shore.

We went there early in the morning to avoid the crowd, and it was definitely worthy! You can enjoy the beauty of this humble sized Mosque, amazing garden with the view of Bosporus!
