Istanbul Holiday Apartments offers guests
truly glorious views of Old Istanbul from
Glorya Deluxe View, Duplex View,
Penthouse Terrace and Top Floor View.
These apartments all command panoramic
views of Old Istanbul, from Topkapi Palace
at the tip of Seraglio Point to the end of the
Golden Horn, a grand sweep of an
unforgettable skyline punctuated by
imposing domed mosques and slender
minarets rising from the hills of this historic
city -- a gratifying reward for climbing up
the stairs. Watch the sun rise in the east
over Topkapi and set in the west over the
Golden Horn ... marvel at the magic of the
city at night. And behind you, almost close
enough to touch, is the monumental 14th
century Galata Tower, a lasting reminder of
the long centuries of European influence on
Istanbul, "city of the world's desire" *.
