Istanbul hotels with Bosporus view provide an opportunity to live like a sultan for a while, not spending too much money.
Turkish people are very romantic and sentimental, though courageous and amazing. One of the Turkish features is their touching affection for four things. First, women. Second, football. Third, children. Nothing needs to be commented, except the fourth kind of affection. It’s the Bosporus. Turkish people have an interesting proverb, saying that "if you feel sad, go to Bosporus, it will melt your worries away".
Every year hundreds of Turkish people, even millions of Turkish people act this way. They go to Istanbul, to see the Bosporus strait. Tourists do the same thing. Tourists love the view of the Bosporus and Istanbul just as much as Turks do! A lot of tourists fly to Turkey, cruise to Turkey, drive to Turkey. A lot of people stay on the sides of Bosporus. There are a lot of hotels on its sides. This is amazing. During the times of strict sultans of Ottoman Empire it was only allowed for aristocracy to get a place next to the Bosporus banks. Not even every person from aristocracy, only councilors of Sultans, who were in Divan. That’s why they called the Council – Divan, a place where people sit. Those who had a right to sit next to sultan had the right to live close to Bosporus. Any other person who would dare to live next to the "cow ford", that’s how the ancient Greeks used to call the most wonderful strait in the world, would get a wooden plate. That’s where they used to put a cut head of a person. For people from aristocracy they used a silver plate. So, the Bosporus was a very prestigious place to live at!
Nowadays, you won’t miss your head if you get to live close to the Bosporus, but it’s expensive. A villa next to the Bosporus may cost from 5 million euro and higher. But for tourists there is such an opportunity and you don’t need to have 5 million Euro. Just ask for a room in an Istanbul hotel with Bosporus view.
It’s not very expensive as it may seem. It’s a good thing about Istanbul hotels, you don’t need to pay extra for a nice view. In Istanbul every view is gorgeous. It’s not going to be very expensive to get a room in a hotel next to Bosporus and get rid of a sad mood, if you have it. Go to Istanbul, get a room next to Bosporus and go for a walk in the city. "Hos geldiniz" as Turkish people say or "Welcome"!
