Definitely worth it
In Istanbul we took several trips, one was a Bosphorus cruise, where we visited Beylerbeyi Palace, under the intercontinental bridge linking Asia and Europe. It was the summer palace of the sultans and illustrious guests, such as Eugenia de Montijo, the Shah of Persia, etc. stayed here. The best thing about the palace is its situation - in the middle of the Bosphorus with outstanding views and surrounded by gardens. Inside, the palace is a Baroque overloaded and all the furniture and decor are very well preserved (you're not allowed to take pictures).
