The iconic Maiden’s Tower is only a short walk away along the long beautiful coastline
This is one of the most historical sights in Istanbul. The story behind this place is it literally means "Maiden's Tower" in Turkish. The name comes from a legend: the Byzantine emperor heard a prophecy telling him that his beloved daughter would die at the age of 18 by a snake. So he decided to put her in this tower built on a rock on the Bosphorus isolated from the land thus no snake could kill her. Currently there are restaurant in the tower and boats going to there. Guests can go there by car or bus in 20-25 min from the flat.
