Istanbul Old City. Recommended traditional accomodation?

Posted by: shmulib on Oct 25, 12 at 02:50 PM Posted in: Europe Tagged: Jump to last reply

We will be in Istanbul for 4 nights in December for a quick look at the city. In the past when we have travelled (Marrakech in particular) we have looked for traditional accomodation to get more of an idea of the culture of the city. Does such a concept exist in Istanbul or is it too 'modern' a city? The most important other factors are for the accomodation to be clean and quiet.

Also - any nice day trips from Istanbul? Nice surrounding countryside nature as well as regular city tourist sites?

Many thanks

sam
