Description

Spend an afternoon at Dolmabahçe Palace, a recent residence for Ottoman Sultans built by the two Ottoman architects Karabet and Nikogos Balyan on a 110-thousand-square-meter property. This area served as the main administrative center of the Ottoman Empire and is famous for its great collection of European antiquities, furniture and the largest chandelier in the world, weighing 4.5 tons. The palace has 285 rooms and 46 halls. Crossing the Bosphorus Bridge will give you the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step from one continent to another in just 2 minutes. Çamlıca Hill, famous for its beautiful sunsets and bird’s eye panoramic views of İstanbul from the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea, gives a chance to see the Bosphorus and Golden Horn from one of the highest and most appealing places of the city.

Istanbul, Turkey Information

Once called Constantinople, the former capital of the Byzantine Empire is the only city in the world to straddle two continents: Europe and Asia. This is the Golden Horn, the door between East and West, and your first vision of its domes and minarets is unforgetable. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Sultan treasures in Topkapi Palace await - as does the Grand Bazaar, laden with carpets, beaten brass and spices from afar.
