A highly recommended find from the Michelin Guide is the famous Giritli Restaurant. This wonderful place has been serving authentic Greek cuisine for centuries. Visit their breezy outdoor terrace and savour fresh salads, seafood dishes and fabulous Mezze options. At both lunch and dinner, the restaurant is buzzing with locals and feel-good energy. 

A very romantic traditional fish restaurant housed in a wonderfully restored Ottoman mansion with a cosy terrace. Take a well deserved lunch break after your visit to the Blue Mosque & the Hagia Sophia. We recommend to order the rice with mussels and pumpkin with yogurt. 

The Four Seasons Sultanahmet is a luxurious hotel located in a historically rich district, only steps away from landmarks like the Blue Mosque. If you are looking for somewhere intimate, with exceptional views and superb service, you must consider this prestigious retreat. 

One of Istanbul's most iconic landmarks. With its striking blue-tiled interior (hence the name), it’s a stunning example of Ottoman architecture. Take some time out of your day to admire the intricate patterns and peaceful ambiance that fills the space. Don’t forget to dress respectfully and plan your visit around prayer times!
