The place for some reason called "telescope" and comes up when searching "observatory", but there are no telescopes there and no observatory

Skvěle místo pro pozorování dění na vodě. Stojí se tam na chvíli zastavit a jen tak pozorovat kolem proplouvající  lodě které křižují Bospor.

A great place to watch the action on the water. It is worth stopping there for a while and just watching the passing ships crossing the Bosphorus.
