The Maiden's Tower

  The Maiden's Tower, or Kız Kulesi, rises on a small islet off the coast of Üsküdar in Istanbul. Dating back to the 5th century, this iconic structure served various purposes over the years, including as a lighthouse and a watchtower. Today, visitors can explore its charming interior and enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Bosphorus Strait from its terrace. This site transforms beautifully during the summer months of June to September when it often hosts special events and boat tours. Guests can also indulge in a meal at the restaurant while soaking in the picturesque surroundings and the vibrant atmosphere.
