Rare John Bull Posted December 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Without a doubt the best area to stay is in the old-town area of Sultanahmet - Sultanahmet Camii (the Blue Mosque), Hippodrome, Hagia Sofia (various spellings), Yerebatan Sarnici (Roman cistern), hotels, shops, restaurants, etc. Short walk to the Grand Bazaar or to Topkapi Palace or to the Golden Horn waterfront at Eminonu. Here's a useful thread on hotels https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2783789-istanbul-hotels/#comment-66488075 Ships berth at Galataport - a new cruise port on the other side of the Golden Horn. Easy tram journey from Sultanahmet - but not with luggage 😮 Ask your hotel to fix a taxi. Istanbul is discussed on the board for Europe - other Mediterranean ports. You'll find plenty of Istanbul info on that board - and it's worth repeating your question there Super-interesting city, friendly folk.

Kiwi Dreamer Posted December 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Sultanahmet Cesme Hotel We stayed at this hotel and found it great. Handy to all the places mentioned above as well as being wonderful to eat in the restaurants frequented by the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
