I reached the tower on foot from the fortress of Ich-Kale, in 35-degree heat! Very tired, but could not visit! So: the first floor is something like a museum, there are several boats from different eras under glass, a pile of cannonballs, a model tower and ...that's it! There is nothing special to watch. The second floor is empty, there are only loopholes. The third is the same. The fourth is the top of the tower, open space, a view of the battlements of the tower and the Turkish flag on one of them. Two more stairs lead to the battlements, I did not climb, I would not see anything new (Ich-Kale is higher, I saw everything from there).

All the stairs inside the tower are quite steep, it's hard to climb! But still, the spirit of bygone centuries is felt in the tower, one can imagine how archers and crossbowmen were located near the loopholes, and gunners at the top, who could shoot through eight sides of the tower! How sentinels in turbans and harem pants walked in a circle on the platform with battlements day and night!
In general, I recommend this object to romantics, dreamers and lovers of history!! !
