We entered up to the courtyard but didn’t go inside the premises as it was a prayer time. Just stand towards the side of the Sea (not the other side of the street) and and will be close to the wall of the Mosque. From outside view, its a beautiful Mosque, but not exactly the kind of Ottoman sophistication that you will see in Blue Mosque and Hagia sophia probably why its not touristic. Its still an elderly mosque from the 1500s and among the many historical mosques in Istanbul. Good thing is that the entry is free of cost, and no security checks or queues. Very close to Galataport and Bosphorus view so if you are dropping by in Tophane Tram station and heading to Galataport to feed the sea gulls or just shopping

The KAPTAN-I DERYA KILIÇ ALI PASA CAMIÏ Mosque there’s an absolutely beautiful mosque dating from the 1500s. It is located in the old city of Istanbul a short walking distance from the Galat tower. The mosque is actively being used by worshippers who offer their prayers multiple times per day. There is intricate artwork on the ceilings and the walls and a beautiful marble waterfront in the courtyard.

From the outside this mosque looking old like a museum, but that's where the most interesting part is. Apparently this mosque has significant history in Istanbul (just like many other mosques) aged more than 500 years old! Located just a stroll away from Galataport, once I entered the ambiance became classic majestic vibe. At night time, the Mosque is elegantly lit with dramatic lighting offering a soothing view from the street. There is also a legendary Turkish hammam place next door.
