Beautiful place to stay for a few days. Clean rooms, quiet also if on the backside. Breakfast sober but good enough. Dinner no surprises.

Interesting concept, we were in the tower suite and it was a very large and clean room. The view was nice too. However for what you get, I feel it's too expensive. The breakfast was OK, cold meats, cheeses, yoghurt, fruits and muesli style cereal. The only cooked item was scrambled egg or a boiled egg. We also ate at the restaurant and the food was tasty and cooked well, but again nothing special. I could have gone to a local small restaurant and had similar for a cheaper price. All in all, it's nice but not something I would say is a must see.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
