This place is historical but it’s not heavy or overwhelming with too much historical data. The garden grounds are very calming and it’s easy to walk through it while enjoying the magnificent architecture. The view at the back facing the Bosphorus is amazing and be sure to check out one of the rooftop coffee shops before leaving
