Our Hotel

We stayed at the Hotel Sebnem in the Sulthanamet section of Istanbul near the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. A great location with lots of restaurants and shops and near the tram. This is the view of the Sea of Marmara from the rooftop terrace where we ate breakfast.
There was also another higher terrace.
The beautiful painting makes a great backdrop.
The terrace at another hotel.
Huge birds would swoop in and snatch anything from an unattended plate.
