Florya

Sultanahmet
Sultanahmet is the core of the historic peninsula, the UNESCO-listed heart of both the Byzantine and Ottoman capitals. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace are only minutes apart on foot, so a large share of short-break visitors stay here. Most hotels are small boutique properties set in converted Ottoman wooden houses on back streets such as Cankurtaran and Küçük Ayasofya. Area guide ›
