city, the waters of the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara,
Princes’ Islands and the shores of Asia. The great basilica
of Hagia Sophia seems almost close enough to touch, as is
the Imperial Gate of Topkapi Palace, while the nearby Blue
Mosque looms above the massive former Sultan Ahmet prison,
now converted into a noted hotel.
At night, the sweeping panorama glitters like all the gems
in the Sultan’s treasury, and close at hand flashes the
lighthouse that achieved fame through the film “Topkapi”
starring Melina Mercouri, Tony Curtis and Peter Ustinoff. It
is no wonder then that this breathtaking setting appeals so
much to hotel guest and non-residents alike, making it the
favorite place to dine in style on delicious food (fish
highly recommended) or just dally over a beverage in leisure. |
