    Kiz Kulesi (Maiden’s Tower)

    Posted by JillGuest 20 February 2006

    One of Istanbul’s most photographed monuments which incredibly dates back over 2,000 years, you simply cannot miss the iconic Kiz Kulesi or Maiden’s Tower, out on its own little island at the mouth of the Bosphorus.

    In its capacity as customs control, defence tower, lighthouse and now restaurant, you can’t help but wonder what this intriguing structure has bore witness to over the centuries. This is truly a unique dining experience in what is itself a one-of-a-kind city.

    The food is good, but who cares? It’s the view of the sun setting over old Istanbul from the tower’s summit that people really come here for.

    Transfers from Salacak (Asian Side) and Ortakoy (European Side) daily – check the website for times. Booking recommended.
