Ciragan Palace Kempinski
This palace was built by Abdulaziz I between 1863 and 1867. This was a period in which all
Ottoman sultans used to build their own palaces rather than using those of previous sultans.
Unfortunately because of a fire in 1910 this beautiful palace was just a ruin until very
recently when it became one of the most exclusive hotels in Istanbul.

Flower Mall
Beyoglu's ornate Çiçek Pasaji (Flower Passage) on Istiklal Caddesi at Galatasaray Square is filled
with restaurants.
Each evening the tables are filled with Turks and foreigners who come to talk, eat, laugh and linger
over dozens of plates of meze, succulent kebaps, seafood, sweet desserts, and glass after glass of
milky Turkish raki, beer or wine.
Beyoğlu nightlife once revolved around the meyhanes (Turkish tavernas) of Çiçek Pasajı, formerly the
Cité de Pera building (1876), a combination shopping arcade and apartment block. Its heavily restored
facade faces the school gates. These days it's the domain of tourists, a beautiful glass-roofed setting
for an over-priced middling meal. Adjacent is the Balık Pazarı (Fish Market), still lined with shops
fronted by great wooden trays of piscine still-life on ice. On the east side of the market passage at
No.24A, hidden behind big black doors, is the Armenian Church of the Three Altars - it's rarely open
but worth sticking your head in if you spot the chance.
Esma Sultan
A multipurpose event space in the Ortakoy district of Istanbul, built inside the ruins of a brick
palace that was built in 1875 by architect Sarkis Balyan for Esma Sultan, sister of Sultan Abdulaziz.
The incorporated structure is built out of steel and glass within the original brick exterior. The
glass box is tethered to the walls with suspension rods, which ensure that the structures remain
equidistant from each other and are able to withstand bad weather and earthquakes. The building is set
on several levels and includes a bar, a restaurant, and an event hall.
Feriye
Moving in the 19th Century from Topkapı Palace to their new magnificent palaces in the Bosphorus, the
Ottoman Sultans literally started the history of Feriye, built then as a precinct.
As the terminus of the new palatial area extending from Beşiktaş to Ortakoy with Dolmabahce and Ciragan
Palaces, Feriye is actually an embodiment of the interesting architectural features peculiar to its age.
Further to the restoration carried out in 1995 by Kabataş High School Foundation, Feriye Complex has
become an exceptional spot to make you meet the past on the Bosphorus.
Leander's Tower
The Leander's Tower is a tower located on a stone pile, at an arrow shooting distance from the Asian coast,
at the intersection point of Asia and Europe. It is one of the unique structures throughout the world,
between two continents. Today, there is a restaurant in the first floor and a café at the top of the tower.
It is a popular tourist destination.
Sait Halim Pasa
Sait Halim Pasha was the eldest of Prince Abdulhalim Pasha's four sons and the grandson of Kavalali Mehmet
Ali Pasha, Governor of Egypt. Abdulhalim Pasa bought this mansion, which was built in 1864 from its
previous owners, but then considered it to be a wreck and not big enough to suit Egyptian aristocratic
taste. So he instructed architect Petraki Adamandidis of Canakkale to rebuild it. After Abdulhalim
Pasha's death in 1890 the property was inherited by his nine sons. Sait Halim Pasha, gathering all shares
from his brothers came into the sole ownership of the mansion in 1894. Today, this charming mansion with
its 10 separate halls of different capacities and 2 gardens is one of the most popular venues for private
receptions in Istanbul.
