Travel Note
We made this list to recommend some of our favorite things to do and see, and our favorite places to eat and drink, across Istanbul.
Hotel
We recommend this hotel, a Marriott property located in the vibrant neighborhood of Karakoy.
Hotel
A famous, historic, and luxurious hotel in the heart of Istanbul. Agatha Christie, Ernest Hemingway, and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (the founder of modern Turkiye) have all been among their guests...
Hotel
Another recommended Marriott property, also in the heart of Istanbul's Karakoy neighborhood.
Travel Note
Istanbul is a huge city, and can be complicated to navigate. Istanbul serves as the bridge between Europe and Asia, with the famous Bosphorous down the middle. Our wedding will take place on the Bosphorous line, on the Anatolian (Asian) side, but we're recommending our out-of-town guests stay on in the Karakoy neighborhood on the European side. Karakoy is rich in bars, restaurants, shopping, and other local attractions -- and is not far from all the famous historical sites. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions about where to stay! We will provide transportation from the Karakoy neighborhood to our venue on the day of the wedding. Details will be updated!
