Visit Maiden Tower with Your Friends


A common Turkish tradition claims that the Byzantine king imprisoned his daughter here after an oracle predicted that she would die of a venemous snakebite on her 18th birthday. When the big day arrived, her overjoyed father presented her with a fruit basket as a surprise, but he had no idea that the deadly snake was hidden inside. 


It's a perfect spot for a panoramic view of Istanbul. Take a seat in the café, order a cocktail from the counter, or dine in the restaurant. Breakfast and brunch are available. From either Kabataş or Üsküdar-Salacak, you can take a cruise to the island. The Maiden Tower is way better with a group! It is an amazing experience to chat with your friends and family while the sun sets and you sip your tea at the top of the tower.


Hang Out in Kadikoy!


Kadiköy is the name of the district's residential and commercial neighborhood, which is the cultural heart of Istanbul's Anatolian side, with its various pubs, cinemas, and bookshops. There are also several bike opportunities. In any corner of Kadikoy, visitors can sample the finest traditional Turkish cuisine. They can also visit a variety of pubs, bookstores, and cafes. When you are with a group, Kadikoy visits become even better. Explore the best cafes, restaurants and bars. Have chats with strangers and explore the beautiful street art in Kadikoy!


Eat Kumpir in Ortakoy


This bustling square is lined with posh waterfront cafés, pubs, cafes, and nightclubs. Young Turks come here to play backgammon and play board games while smoking nargile (Turkish water pipes). A lot of people come here to eat “kumpir” (st■ baked potatoes). 


Stop by Ortaköy Square to take in the scenery and mingle with the trendy young couples who crowd the cafés. There's also a lovely baroque mosque situated on the water's edge, which is one of the best examples of the prolific Balyan family's work. This newly restored masterpiece is well worth a visit. This is one of the best spots in Istanbul for eating, drinking and having a great time!
