BETELVE Posted January 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Does anyone have recommendations for a pre-cruise hotel for three days of sight seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bull Posted January 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2023 No specific recommendations, but make it a hotel in Sultanahmet - most of the sights are easily walkable. And a bonus if it's one with a rooftop terrace - ideal for breakfast, for dinner if you dine-in, and for late-evening drinks. For their local flavour we always try to choose a lodging appropriate to the place rather than a cloned modern international hotel. For instance in Miami it's an art-deco South Beach hotel, in hills & forests a log cabin, in African game areas a rondeval, in France a chateau, in England a coaching inn. And in Istanbul an Ottoman House. But a mistake that we made in Istanbul was not to ensure that it had an elevator - I'll swear that each day while we were out they added an extra floor 😏 JB 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bull Posted January 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2023 BTW repeat your question on the "other Mediterranean ports" board Yes, I know, it's not in the Med. 😏 But that's where you'll find questions about Istanbul - and much higher footfall.
