*** Here you are some info about my QTH; Heybeliada ***
Heybeliada means "Saddle Bag Island" a name that was given to the
island because of the shape of it's double-peaked hill. In ancient
times it was known as Chalkitis or Chalki, from copper mines that
are mentioned by Aristotle. Remains of them are still to be seen at
Çam Limani ("Pine Harbor"), the circular bay on the southern side of
the island.
In Ottoman times, the islands of this little archipelago were
called Kiziladalar ("Red Islands") because of the red soil that is
common to all of them. Most guidebooks refer to them as the Princes'
Islands.
Heybeliada has two important schools of rather different sorts.
The older used to be the principal Theological Seminary of the Greek
Orthodox Church. It is housed in modern buildings among the remnants
of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity, founded during Byzantine
times, at a spot in the saddle between the two summits of the
northern hill. The other, the Turkish Naval College, was founded in
1773 by the Ottoman Sultan Selim III. It is mostly at the water's
edge near the landing stage but also occupies the site of another
Byzantine monastery on a hill to the west. Within the grounds of the
naval college is a cemetery that contains the tomb of Edward Barton,
the second English ambassador from Queen Elizabeth I to
Constantinople. The tomb originally had a long inscription in (very
bad) Latin and Barton's coat of arms.
