Accommodation
An urban retreat, this restored nineteenth century palace fuses Ottoman influences with up-to-the-minute design. Its spacious interiors lead to large external terraces commanding breathtaking views across to the Asian shores of the Bosphorus. Relax in richly-decorated rooms and suites graced with ornate ceilings featuring hand-painted motifs. Feast on fine Italian cuisine at Aqua with its picturesque terrace; alternatively dine at the Pool Barbecue on grilled kebabs, succulent fish and legendary octopus salad while being fanned by the cooling breezes which blow onto the quayside. Relax in the spa with ten treatment rooms, Turkish hammam and a large outdoor swimming pool; take a yacht cruise from the hotel’s dock or a private boat to the airport.
Turkey is a vast country that incorporates both a Mediterranean and continental climate, the temperatures in the north being cooler than the south. For sightseeing and visits to Istanbul, spring and autumn are recommended to avoid the peak summer temperatures. November to February can be cool with increased rainfall. Southern Turkey has a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and mild winters, July and August being the hottest months. Spring and autumn are good times to visit as it is still warm and less crowded.
