Car Hire Istanbul - Piri Reis street - Mini guide to Istanbul - Piri Reis street

There is a history beneath every street of Istanbul. This can especially be said for the tremendously innovative and exploratory Piri Reis who got a street named after him.

Piris Reis was the nephew of Kemal Reis. He accompanied his uncle through wars and travelled around the earth to explore new spheres of the planet. Under their quest, they captured people and kept them in custody. These very people became their prisoners. They in turn taught Piris Reis, their own experience and knowledge from past quest through the large Ocean.

The contribution of one to the prisoners, previously commanded by a captain called Colombo, had a precious chart, which was said to had been created by the captain himself; Colombo. Piri Reis used this particular manuscript to persuade his own goals. He constructed and drawn the Piri Reis Map in 1513. This map itself became a main source of ancient geography. It was well elaborated and constructed for sailors to efficiently understand directions and landscaping for sea travelling.

Turkey gathers ample information about geography by the famous Piri Reis discovery. Today, there is a street which has been named “Piri Reis Street” at Istanbul. This famous street has been named specially in the memory of the creator of the Piri Reis map himself.

The expedition carried out by Piri Reis has contributed vastly to the history of Turkey. It was a man of who was eager to explore the emptiness and unknown.

You can today explore the Piri Reis Street, and find your own glory and build your own map.
