This converted 19th-century raki distillery on the Asian shore offers a unique Bosphorus experience away from the bustle of the European side. The industrial heritage creates distinctive character, while the waterfront setting and private jetty (with complimentary boat service) provide unmatched tranquility and water access.

Editor's Tip

The private boat to European side is a highlight. Unique industrial heritage. Asian side tranquility with easy access across.
