The Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Kariye Camii are all tourist attractions located in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul embodies a beautiful mixture of architecture from the Byzantine and Persian empires, most of which still stand today. Don't miss out on the Great Bazaar, where you can sip tea while perusing wares, or the Fountain of Ahmet III which was constructed during the Ottoman Rococo period.

And the place to stay while indulging in the various pursuits of Turkey holidays is the Sirkeci Konak, located in the heart of the old city of Istanbul. Sirkeci Konak or 'Konak' - meaning 'large mansion house' in Turkish - boasts an architecture that is based on the classical Ottoman Konak style.

You cannot truly say that you've experienced holidays in Turkey unless you've experienced a Turkish bath, or hammam as the locals call it, as it is an integral part of Ottoman and Turkish culture, and has been so throughout the ages. Luckily for you, Sirkeci Konak has its own Turkish bath where you can relax with other bathers in the marble hammam and even enjoy a massage.

Other amenities include a sauna, fitness area, Jacuzzi and massages. Services include on-call doctors, free wireless internet, reservations for concerts and theatre performances, and valet services. The rooms are well-proportioned and have a definite, charmingly Turkish air in their decor. And after a long day of haggling at the Bazaar and standing in wonderment at the sight of the Hagia Sophia, the Neyzade Terrace rooftop restaurant is an excellent place to unwind and watch the sun go down while enjoying a glass of champagne.
