The palace was commissioned by Sultan Abd-ul-Mejid I (1823–1861), and designed by the architectsGarabet Amira Balyan and his son Nigoğayos Balyan in the neo-baroque style. Completed in 1857, the structure took the place of a two storey timber palace built during the reign of Mahmud I (1696–1754) by his Grand Vizier Divittar Mehmed Pasha, then successively used by Selim III (1761–1808) and Mahmud II (1785–1839).

Pass By: Beylerbeyi Palace, Abdullahaga Cad., Istanbul Turkiye

With 24 rooms, 6 halls, and a hamam, it would have been quite the summer home, and was also used to entertain visiting dignitaries.

Pass By: KIz Kulesi, Uskudar, Istanbul Turkiye

t literally means "Maiden's Tower" in Turkish. The name comes from a legend: the Byzantine emperor heard a prophecy telling him that his beloved daughter would die at the age of 18 by a snake.

11 / 10 experience. 😍 Fabulous service, Impeccable Boat & stunning scenic views. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered a lot of questions about life in Istanbul. Weather was awesome. The staff served us so many things during the cruise, that we couldn't expect anything more. Possibly the best way to explore Istanbul during the evening. Highly recommend!

We had a great time on this cruise, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered a lot of questions about life in istanbul. The weather was not great, but the boat itself was closed off and we were protected from the rain. Everything was organized well and all the crew were very nice.
