Sail Loft Vakkorama
Bosphorus rooftop cocktails atop Vakkorama at Galataport
Sail Loft Vakkorama occupies the coveted rooftop terrace of the iconic Vakkorama store at Galataport, offering one of the most spectacular sunset views in Istanbul. This collaboration between the legendary Sail Loft brand (originally from Bodrum) and luxury retailer Vakko creates a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere where Mediterranean cuisine meets craft cocktails. The terrace transforms from a sunny afternoon retreat into a glamorous evening destination as the Bosphorus lights up and the historic peninsula glows golden.
Editor's Tip
Best sunset spot at Galataport. Arrive by 17:00 for prime terrace seating. The Vakkorama connection means an exceptionally stylish crowd.
