Beylerbeyi Palace is a beautiful palace on the Bosphorus and well worth the entrance fee. It reminds me of Dolmabahçe, especially with its gates opening directly onto the Bosphorus, which you use to enter and exit — a perfect spot for stunning photos. The garden is also very beautiful, peaceful, and well maintained. The interior of the palace is rich and lavish, though photography and video recording inside are not allowed. Overall, it is a very memorable and worthwhile experience.
