Evliya Çelebi describes this place as follows: To the north of Kavak town, toward Yoroz Mountain, stands Anadolu Feneri. The distance from the Anatolian lighthouse to the Servi Burnu, which is located to the south, is 8,000 adım. At this burun, there is a sed of Süleyman, a green area adorned with cypresses and with a view of the surroundings.
