CHECK-IN ISTANBUL
TRAVELIFE MAGAZINE
Yet it was the Terrace Suite that captured my heart from the start. In spite of my good intentions to stay put, I ended up leaving for a few hours for a quick visit to see the paintings of Osman Hamdi Bey at the Pera Museum and for a stroll through a weekend antiques market, but soon the thought of it pulled me back. Then, for the rest of the day, I sat on my terrace as it was unusually warm for that time of year and ordered a platter of mezze and a glass of wine for my first proper Turkish meal. For once in a very long time, I didn’t even open my computer as I was completely mesmerized by the changing of colors and light as the sun faded on one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Sometimes, a Travelife is really meant to be experienced just like this. n
