Özet

In the 19th century, specific times of the year were named accordingly to seasonal changes and / or the activities individuals performed in their daily (bad season, theatrical season, carnival season and beautiful season). Regattas, which were maritime / nautical festivals seen in cities such as London and Marseille, were important urban actions of the beautiful season of Istanbul. These festivals functioned as urban social events that span a whole day. The first regatta in Istanbul was organized in 1859 with the attempts and under the patronage of British Ambassador Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer in different parts of the city such as Moda and Buyukdere, yet in time regattas became signature events of Buyukada.
