Bebek Hotel in Istanbul

You can lie in your comfortable bed at the Bebek Hotel, Istanbul and hear the deep boom of the giant ships making their way up the Bosphorus Strait to the Black Sea. By day, the view out over the water from your balcony is sublime and there’s a great bar downstairs where you can sit on wicker chairs, with a huge blanket thrown over you if it’s chilly in the evening, drinking apple tea. Early evening you might opt for something more robust, like a great glass of Turkish wine or a big G&T. Divine
