The translation of Yerebatan
Caddesi
is not very promising: "The Avenue
that Sinks Into the Ground."
Actually, the street is named for
the Yerebatan
Sarayi Sarniçi (Sunken
Palace Cistern). The street starts
across the street from Ayasofa (Hagia
Sophia) and right in front of the cistern
entrance, then proceeds westward to Cagaloglu (jah-AHL-oh-loo) Square.
Yerebatan Caddesi has only light to
moderate traffic, which makes it good
for hotels, of which there are several,
all different: the Celal Sultan
Hotel,
Kibele Oteli, Pamphylia Hotel, and
several others.
Souvenir, carpet and
antiques shops, government offices,
apartment buildings, a few restaurants
and the popular Cagaloglu
Hamami Turkish
bath line Yerebatan Caddesi.
For transportation to various parts
of the city, it's a good place to be.
The Zeytinburnu-Kabatas-(Besiktas)
Tram passes right at the eastern end
of the street, where there is a taxi stand as well.
