Towering Dreams

The iconic and historic symbol of Galata Tower is often what first comes to mind when people think about Istanbul, and when you stay at this incredible home, it will be on your mind for the entire duration of your holiday. A penthouse apartment, this home offers incredible views of Beyoğlu including the tower from both its balcony and the large floor-to-ceiling windows that span an entire wall in the living area. So, whether you’re making your morning Turkish coffee, cooking dinner or lounging on the sofa after a busy day, you will always be able to glance out of the windows and enjoy the view.

With its central location, this home is also the perfect base for exploring the area and all the attractions on offer, not just the Galata Tower. Then, in the evening, after you’ve tired yourself out, come together for an alfresco meal of Turkish Shawarma or Kofta as the sunsets on your panorama, glowing golden and orange around the tower’s silhouette.
