Perched high in the vibrant and historic neighbourhood of Cihangir, this sleek and contemporary apartment offers two terraces from which to admire the sparkling Bosphorus, as well as a sophisticated space to spend time after a day exploring the local boutiques and coffee shops. The interior is modern and refined, with sleek touches that make relaxing here feel extra indulgent after a sight-filled day in Galata. Start your day with çay tea on the balcony, then stretch out on the crushed velvet sofa with your holiday read and the Bosphorus breeze. We imagine you’ll be wanting to sample the city’s culinary delights, but if you feel like an evening at home, there’s a barbecue on the rooftop for you to enjoy grilled dinners at sunset. Wander down the tree-lined streets, soak up the energy and admire the architecture, a Turkish iced coffee in hand. Head to Arter to enjoy some contemporary artworks or explore Dolmabahçe Palace, a good walk from your home – we recommend the waterfront stroll so you can make the most of the Bosphorus. You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dinner, taste an array of authentic dishes at a lokantasi or sample grilled delights at... an Ocakbaşı.
