There are 365 yalis on the Bosphorus and only a handful you can rent. This one was the family home of an Ottoman finance minister and still has his wife's prayer rug. The view never stops moving.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bebek safe?

It is the most expensive square in Istanbul. Embassies, private banks, and the kind of cafés where ambassadors lunch. Yes.

How long to the airport?

Istanbul (IST) is 45 minutes off-peak, 90 in traffic. The yali has a helipad licence (extra).

Can we have private boats deliver dinner?
