According to Turkish legend, a princess was locked in this tower to protect her from being bitten by a snake. Over the years the tower has been used as a customs station, lighthouse and a residence for retired naval officers.
I really cant praise this place enough... we went with slight trepidation due to the some of the scathing reviews on here.. but we need not have worried.. the food was fantastic and to a very high standard.. tasty well prepared dishes bursting with flavour... we were a group of 4 who all chose from the superior menu and every dish we had was excellent. The trip out from and back to Kabataş pier takes about 15 mins on a small private boat and is included in the price . Staff were courteous professional and friendly from beginning to end. The location is original, historical and has amazing views of Istanbul... the trip up to the watchtower at the top is worth the small climb.. there is a lovely bar and seating area in the tower to enough a drink and admire the view

Situated by the ancient city walls, this remarkable 19th century tower has a square shape and was constructed of rough and hewn stone.
It is the tower built in 1901 by Sadrazam Küçük Said Pasha, which is one of the landmarks of Antalya in Kaleiçi, one of the busiest places , It was built in memory of the 25th anniversary of the throne of Abdülhamit II. The tower, which seems to be integrated with the walls, is 22 meters high from the ground. The criminals executed in the iron hanging from the outside were also exposed. It is a historical value of Antalya to be seen.
