The Turkey Homes team are delighted to offer this prestigious apartment in Istanbul for sale, located on the shores of the Bosphorus in the wealthy Sariyer neighbourhood of Rumeli Hisari near Bebek on the European side of the city.
Sariyer is a very prestigious district of Istanbul, known to attract wealthy citizens as they prefer a life away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, with homes offering stunning views of the Bosphorus or surrounded by nature with dense forest areas for a breath of fresh air as opposed to the pollution of the city centre areas.
The neighbourhood of Rumeli Hisari is one of Sariyer's coastal areas, situated south of Emirgan and its beautiful historical park and slightly north of notorious Bebek. The area is home to the ancient Rumeli Hisari fortress which played a role in the siege and fall of Constantinople in 1453 hence the area's name, attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists every year, many viewing the castle via a Bosphorus cruise passing under the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge which crosses the Bosphorus to the Asian side of Istanbul, the bridge with the stunning colourful lights that often feature in photographs of the city.
