Nestled in the lively cobbled streets of Galata, this bohemian penthouse is truly in the heart of Beyoğlu. This neighbourhood is one of the most charming in the city and is known for its boutique-lined streets, chic cafes and authentic restaurants. Whether you're catching views at the top of Galata Tower, seeking out vintage gems in the boutiques, sipping fresh juice from one of the local vendors, sampling Turkish dishes at the late-night eateries, or riding the old-school Taksim trams, you couldn't be in a better a location. You’ll find this eclectic duplex an idyllic spot to return home to after a day feasting on künefe and Baklava in Karaköy. If you're anything like us, you'll love the artistic touches, mixed patterns and rustic, industrial-inspired design as soon as you step inside. The dining room is a focal point of this apartment – pick up some fish from a local bazaar and prepare a traditional dinner to enjoy on the sleek glass table. We imagine you’ll follow up dinner with a glass of Rakı on the balcony – clink and say şerefe as you admire the city lights.

About Turkey
Bridging Europe and Asia, Turkey is a heady mix of old spice trade routes, minaret-filled skylines, ruins that are officially ancient wonders, and a sparkling azure coast with long sweeps of sandy beach. The metropolitan city of Istanbul has one foot in Europe and the other in Asia, either side of the Bosphorus, and streets are filled with ancient mosques and wonders like the Hagia Sofia. Following the coast south,...
