Looking out over the water, this homely apartment offers a unique experience in the Turkish capital. Spend lazy mornings on your private balcony, watching boats glide across the horizon, as you soak up the peace and quiet in this corner of the city.

When you arrive, settle into the homely living space and admire the parquet flooring, woven rugs and elegant seating. While there's no TV here, the vista from the vast windows is an enchanting alternative. The cosy kitchen invites you to experiment with Turkish cooking, and then serve up your creations at the four-person dining table.

Down a spiral staircase, the three bedrooms have been tastefully finished with your comfort in mind. Expect to sleep deeply here with a calming colour scheme and simple decor. When you're ready to explore, you'll find plenty of traditional eateries nearby along with fascinating historical sites – the Kız Kulesi, for example, is just a twenty-minute walk away.
