Is a holiday rental in Istanbul worth it?

A holiday apartment in Istanbul offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Fascinating culture, Excellent cuisine and experience Istanbul like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.

Istanbul, the only metropolis in the world that spans two continents, is an overwhelming Gesamtkunstwerk of Byzantine splendor, Ottoman grandeur, and vibrant modernity. Located on the Bosporus, which separates Europe and Asia, the city was the capital of two empires for centuries as Constantinople and is now the cultural and economic heart of Turkey with over 16 million inhabitants.

The Hagia Sophia, built in 537 as the largest cathedral in the world and later converted into a mosque, is an architectural wonder, whose 56-meter high dome still leaves visitors in awe. Opposite rises the Blue Mosque with its six minarets, and the Topkapi Palace offers insights into the lives of Ottoman sultans over four centuries. The Grand Bazaar, with its over 4,000 shops in 61 covered streets, is one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world.

But Istanbul is much more than its historical monuments. The Karaköy district and Istiklal Street in Beyoğlu pulse with contemporary art, rooftop bars, and creative gastronomy. A Bosporus ferry at sunset, a glass of tea in the fishing district of Ortaköy with a view of the bridge, a visit to the 500-year-old Cemberlitas Hammam, or the nightlife in Kadiköy on the Asian side — Istanbul offers endless layers to discover. Culinary offerings range from the legendary Balik Ekmek (fish sandwich) in Eminönü to Michelin-starred restaurants in Nişantaşı. Istanbul is not a city to check off — it is a city that never lets you go.

What are the highlights of Istanbul?

Hagia Sophia

The architectural wonder was the largest church in the world for 1,000 years, then a mosque, museum, and since 2020 back to being a mosque.

Blue Mosque

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque with its six minarets and over 20,000 blue Iznik tiles is a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture.

Grand Bazaar

One of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world with over 4,000 shops – since 1461.

Topkapi Palace

The residence of the Ottoman sultans with the harem, the diamond of the spoon maker, and a view of the Bosporus.

Bosporus Ferry

The ferry ride between Europe and Asia costs only a few lira and offers the best view of the skyline.

Pay attention to reviews from previous guests and check if final cleaning and bed linen are included in the price.

Is a holiday rental worth it for a longer stay?

Holiday apartments are particularly suitable for longer stays: From a week onwards, the price per night often drops significantly. Use the private kitchen to save money, and enjoy the freedom to shape your day at your own pace – without fixed meal times or hotel rules.
