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.
