And this is one of the most effective methods in the treatment of the disease and achieves highly successful results in the long term. Obesity surgery is preferred for a fit and healthier life.

At the narrowest point, come across the Rumeli Fortress, which was constructed in 1452, the year before the Fall of Constantinople and is a fine example of Ottoman military architecture. 19th century palaces are dotted along both banks, and as cruising along, enjoy views of Dolmabahçe Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace and few remaining towers of Anadolu Hisar Fortress.
