Searching for the ideal Istanbul apartments for your family holiday or romantic break? If you are looking for the perfect blend of style and comfort for self-catering, Istanbul may not seem to offer many options.  It certainly makes sense to look outside the main tourist areas of Istanbul. Holiday apartments on the Princes’ Islands, set in the Sea of Marmara, for example, could be the perfect choice. Istanbul's Princes' Islands are connected by regular ferry services to the mainland, just a 45 minute trip into the historic centre. If you want to visit the historic sites of Istanbul, the holiday apartments of the stylish Karamanyan are great as a base. Explore the palaces and mosques and haggle in the famous bazaars – and at the end of a busy day you can retire to the peace of Heybeliada.

Renting these stylish Istanbul holiday apartments on Heybeliada gives you the best of both worlds - you can have a relaxed Turkish beach holiday and also see the sights of Istanbul. Apartments at the Karamanyan are within 10 minutes walk of the nearest Istanbul beach club, so you will also have plenty of opportunity for swimming and sunbathing during the summer months.

If you are looking for self-catering in Istanbul, the luxury holiday apartments of the Karamanyan could be the perfect choice and a great alternative to traditional Princes' Islands' Hotels.
