Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This is the place to go in Istanbul if you are looking for modest clothing. Lots of brands and lots of scarves to choose from.

    May need to get one of the foot massage they offer in many streets after, cause its huge, especially if also go outside to the cheap stalls , but it is worth it. Not just herbs , tea and spices and sweets but anything possible. Even just the smell when you enter, totally worth some sore feet

    I had an excellent experience at Prens Leather in Istanbul. I purchased two jackets—one directly off the rack and another custom-fitted. The sales team, particularly Gem, provided exceptional and individualized attention throughout the process.

    The first jacket, a reversible suede piece perfect for spring weather, fit me perfectly straight off the rack. For the second jacket, which was slightly too long for my taste, Gem offered to have a custom version made. Impressively, the jacket was completed and ready for pick-up within just four days.

    Both jackets are of outstanding quality, and I am tremendously pleased with the craftsmanship and service. I highly recommend Prens Leather for anyone seeking personalized, high-quality leather products in Istanbul.

    Jennifer's Hamam

    Istanbul

    The absolute best!!

    987018847

    This is long overdue. We had such a great experience shopping at Jennifer’s Hammam. We went in when we saw the Canadian flag in the window to buy kese, saw the beautiful towels and , after a great conversation with Haci, said we would be back. When we went back the next day, a lovely young man walked us the two blocks to the storehouse where Haci once again helped us with our purchases. Our looped cotton towels are magnificent. They are hand woven on looms by artisans who have had these skills passed down through the generations. Besides being beautiful, the quality is out of this world. They are so soft and absorbent!! I reached out to Jennifer after the first wash with a question and got a reply within the day, explaining how to care for the towels. Absolutely everything about Jennifer’s Hamam is top notch…the staff, the customer service and most of all the quality of the products!

    Authentic, owner designed, hand painted, high quartz content ceramics. Sinan is the designer-owner, offered top end Turkish hospitality, knowledge and a huge variety of Traditional Turkish shapes and designs. The items are strong, food safe, and come with an individually completed authenticity certificate for hand made items in Turkiye. Not only did I leave with the highest quality products available from the artisans, but I left with the treasure of friendship. I count Sinan among the trusted people in my circle.

    Very beautiful carpet with Turkish culture. The boss was very enthusiastic, and we bought two small carpets as small gifts, which can be given to family and friends. It was a great experience.

    Galata Leather was in our shopping list while we were planning for a trip to Istanbul , Galata Tower area. And here we are. We jus got a very nice full leather tote bag from this shop, Mr. Mustafa is a very friendly and warm person and we had a good time at the shop. The selection is good n the price is reasonable with quality product you will get. Do drop by if u read this review, cos those good reviews helped us to get to this shop and they r valid 😁

    One of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul was finding this awesome shop! We were drawn in my watching Hamit sitting outside with his cat, searching for just the right thread for a Persian rug from a massive ball of threads! We were graciously invited in and we were treated to an educational history of Persian rugs and Hamit’s work! We purchased several items (purses made from rugs that couldn’t be repaired) and I have ordered more of them twice since we returned to Nashville TN❤️ I can only describe Hamit’s work as very beautiful and full of grace. Everyone I gave one too felt the same way! Don’t miss this shop 💥

    The Sapphire Istanbul, officially known as the Sky Towers, is one of the tallest buildings in Turkey, located in the Levent district of Istanbul. Offering an impressive panoramic view of the city, it stands as a prominent feature of Istanbul’s skyline.

    From the observation deck on the top floor, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of the Bosphorus Strait, the Golden Horn, and major landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and the Topkapi Palace. On clear days, you can even catch sight of the Princes' Islands and the far-reaching Anatolian side of the city.

    The Sapphire Istanbul also boasts luxurious residential apartments and offices, alongside retail spaces, but its most popular feature is its viewing platform, which has become a favorite among tourists and locals alike. It offers an incredible perspective of Istanbul, allowing for both daytime and nighttime views that highlight the city's dynamic nature and blend of modern and historical architecture.

    For those looking to enjoy a full Istanbul experience, the panoramic views from Sapphire Istanbul provide a unique vantage point to appreciate the sprawling beauty of one of the world's most iconic cities.
