description During many centuries, the Danube represented the most important fluvial road for the Ottoman entry into the very heart of central Europe. Aware of its economic and geopolitical interest, Ottomans paid a particular attention to maintain there military and commercial fleets while introducing Mediterranean habits. Many Ottoman geographers, historians and travelers described its flow, its tributaries and its surroundings cities. İn the 17th century, Evliyâ Çelebi, an inquisitive by nature and tireless traveler-writer, is certainly the one who truly knows the world of the Danube and even its legends. This article, far from exhausting the resources offered by the Seyahatnâme, (The Book of Travels), reports the most significant points on the subject.
