Turkish Airlines Magazine Skylife November issue mentions about last James Bond Movie Skyfall![]() The James Bond films are 50 years old this year, and Turkey is 007’s travel venue for the third time. In 1962 when part of the first Bond film, Dr. No, was shot in Jamaica. Not a single tour operator at the time ever think that the small English island would be swamped by tourists on the 007 trail. But the whole world would love watching the James Bond films, and the places where their scenes were shot soon became into touristic magnets. The same thing is going to happen again this fall with the new James Bond film, Skyfall, most of which was shot in Turkey. From March to May of this year, an approximately 500-member team was in Adana, on Fethiye beach, in Istanbul and on the Baghdad Express that passes close to Vardar Bridge on the Adana border for the film, which is chock full of exciting scenes. They staged a fight scene on a moving train, and car and motorcycle chase scenes across rooftops and in the narrow lanes of the Grand Bazaar. Not only that but Kiremit (Tile) Street in the Istanbul district of Balat is also the backdrop for a scene in the film. Daniel Craig must have felt quite contented in Istanbul because he brought his actor wife Rachel Weisz over to spend a free weekend with him in the city. Whether or not the couple will take part in the Turkey premiere in Istanbul remains an unknown. But when the tours that are currently in the preparatory stage get under way, visitors will be able travel to Turkey in the footsteps of 007. Other James Bond movies that scened Istanbul: The World Is Not Enough (1999) Although Pierce Brosnan and Sophie Marceau act as if they are in Istanbul in this 1999 Bond film, the scenes were actually created from footage shot by a small camera crew on the Bosphorus without the stars being there. From RussIa WIth Love (1963) When Sean Connery finds out he is going to Istanbul, he starts humming “Moonlight on the Bosphorus” to his boss M’s secretary, Miss Moneypenny. His mission takes him to the Grand Bazaar, to the Hagia Sophia, where his adversary dies without a peep, on a ferryboat ride on the Bosphorus, and to Pendik, where he is pursued by motorboats. ![]() In Skyfall. Bond makes his first appearance coming out of the old Deutsche Orientbank building in Eminönü, not far from the Spice Market. Deutsche Orientbank was founded in 1906 to built the railways in the Ottoman empire and also to help the German inverstors for their inverstments in the Ottoman Empire. The Germania han, also known as Deutsche Orient Bank building was built by German architect August Jachmund, who also built the nearby Sirkeci Train Station, for the prime bank of German interest in Ottoman Turkey. It is a magnificent example of Art Nouveau in Istanbul. Unfortunately the building is abondoned after WW2. Today it is an empty but a marvelous looking building from the time of Orient Express like Pera Palace Hotel. During your visit to Istanbul, if you would like to walk through and visit the sites that are scened in James Bond Movies contact us today for your private walking tour of Istanbul.

Excursiones privadas de la casa de la Virgen Maria en Efeso¿Dónde pasó Virgen Maria sus últimos años?La casa de la Virgen María es un lugar religioso y espiritual. 5 años después de la crucifixión, San Juan llevó a María a Éfeso. Pero la ciudad no era segura para los cristianos. Habia procesamientos a los cristianos por los romanos. Por esta razón San Juan y María tuvieron que vivir en la montaña Pagos, cerca de Éfeso.
María paso sus últimos 9 años aquí y murió cuando ella tiene 63 años. Después de la ascensión de María, San Juan viajaba a través de Anatolia para presentar la nueva religión. En la época del emperador romano Domiciano, fue exiliado a la isla de Patmos, donde escribió 7 cartas a 7 iglesias en Asia Menor. San Juan escribió el libro de la revelación en Patmos. Los nombres de estas iglesias fueron Esmirna, Éfeso, Filadelfia, Sardis, Pérgamo, Tiatira y Laodicea. Después de la muerte del emperador Domiciano, San Juan regresó a Éfeso y continuó escribiendo la Biblia.Teniendo la tumba de San Juan en Éfeso es la evidencia más importante de la llegada de María a Éfeso. La segunda evidencia es teniendo la primera iglesia en el mundo dedicada a María en Éfeso. En los primeros días del cristianismo, las iglesias estaban dedicadas a las personas que murieron o vivían en esa área. La casa que puede visitar hoy fue descubierta en 1891. A principios del siglo 19, una monja alemana llamada Cathleen Emerich vio visiones de María. Aunque la monja nunca llegó a la zona, vio dónde María vivía, murió y fue enterrada. Un libro que tiene las descripciones fue escrito por los sacerdotes. Este libro fue descubierto por la comunidad cristiana de Esmirna en 1891. Con las descripciones, la casa fue descubierta. Las ruinas de la casa eran del siglo 7, pero la base del primer siglo. Cada 15 de agosto, gente desde pueblos de cerca venia aquí y hacia las ceremonias llamadas Panagia Kapulu. Fue descubrió que la palabra Panagia Kapulu significa "la puerta de la virgen" y el 15 de agosto todavía se celebra como el día de la ascensión de María. Debido a todas las evidencias, se cree que la casa es el lugar probable donde María paso sus últimos años. Durante más de 100 años, la casa ha sido utilizada como una capilla por el Vaticano. Hay sacerdotes y monjas que fueron asignados por el Vaticano. Hasta hoy, 3 papas visitaron aquí. El Papa Pablo 6, el Papa Juan Pablo 2 y el Papa Benedicto. El Papa Francisco aún no ha visitado la casa. Las llegadas de Papas se consideran como el reconocimiento del Vaticano de este lugar. Vatican declaro que esta es una lugar santo. Desde 1963, 1.5 million gente ha estado visitando esta casa cada ano. Ofrecemos excursiones privadas de la casa de la Virgen Maria desde Izmir, Kusadasi, Selcuk y Sirince. Excursiones privadas puede empezar de hoteles, aeropuerto y puertos. Para obtener mas informacion, por favor contactanos. |
