The houses built against the palace walls from part of a complex that includes the fountain dated 1810 and a cistern forming part of the chain of great water depots from the Roman period, the whole reflecting the character of a city that has served as capital of three great empires.In 1985 the district was taken in hand by the Turkish Touring and Automobile Association, which has restored many sections and revitalised in the service of present-day tourism and cultural life.The nine hotel buildings consist of a row of guesthouses with a reception office between the cistern and the library. On arrival, the visitor receives a single key from the reception office serving both for the street door and the door of the rooms, making the visitor feel completely at home. The street is closed to traffic and every house is named as parfumes. The houses consist of between five and ten rooms, each furnished in a particular colour. The interior is furnished in the 19th century Turkish style in which traditional taste and western influence achieved a perfect balance. The armcharis with tasselled fringes, the velvet curtains, the brackets and mirrors, all offer the visitor a warm, friendly athmosphere. Rates are in Euros
