Little House location lets you save your energy for the more important and extensive site-seeing walking.

Lots of historical sites and places of interest are within walking distance of the sea and the Kabatas-ferryboats to the Prince's Islands, Dolmabahce Palace, Ortakoy and the fantastic street markets at weekends, Galata Tower, Eminonu.
