Review:
The Maiden’s Tower, otherwise called Leander’s Tower, has a storied history. It has served as a watchtower, prison, lighthouse, customs post, quarantine hospital, and radio station. Today, it houses an restaurant with an international menu and a bar with a 360° view of the Bosphorus. A shuttle service ferries diners from the Üsküdar coast to the tower for a traditional Turkish breakfast, a casual lunch, or a romantic dinner with live music. For those interested in learning more about the history and legends of the tower, there is also a small museum that is open during the day.
