Legends and Seaside Views at Maiden’s

#holidayitinerary Exploring Maiden’s Tower was such a fun and chill little adventure. It’s that cute tower sitting in the middle of the Bosphorus, and seeing it up close felt kind of magical. I took a short boat ride from the shore and the views from the water were already amazing. The tower itself isn’t huge, but it’s full of character and stories. There’s a small museum inside with info about the legends and history, plus some cool old photos and displays.

The top level has a tiny café where you can grab a drink and just enjoy the view, and honestly, the view is the best part. You get this perfect 360 look at both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, which makes it a super peaceful spot to just hang out. It’s not super crowded either, so it felt calm and relaxing. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for something scenic and iconic without taking up your whole day.
