  You can go there with a boat tour for good price. Is a luxurious palace but not very big.

  We went here as part of a ferry package. It was a simple palace full of living rooms. No pictures allowed inside. It was nicely maintained and beautiful scenery outside.

  Kucuksu Pavilion was built by Sultan Abdulmecit in mid-19th century at the location known as Bagce-i Goksu on the Asian shores of the Bosphorus, near the Anatolian Fortress. The pavilion was completed in 1857 by the imperial architect Nikogos Balyan. It has three floors including the basement where there were kitchens and storage rooms. Kucuksu was used as a hunting lodge and as a resting mansion by several sultans and restored by Sultan Abdulaziz surviving until our days. The building has a European style in its architecture, rooms and halls are decorated with exquisite fire places made of Italian marble, fine wood parquet floor, European furniture, crystal chandeliers and mirrors with sultans' Tugra, Hereke carpets, paintings etc.

  Very lovely to visit - although comparatively it is very small to some of the other Palaces in Istanbul.
  
  It is worth a visit of you have book the ferry and road full day tour through your hotel.
  
  There is also a beautiful mosque opposite the Palace.

  It was basically a hunting palace of sultans and has 4 rooms. We took a paid tour to come here. I did it for the convenience of my parents. However one doesnt need to spend money to come here. Spoiler. photography is not allowed

  If I remember, the original palace was torn down in the mid-1850s and replaced with this western-style building. That isn't a negative, because this place is gorgeous, but it would've probably been more interesting to see whatever the original building was, at least to me.
  
  This place was mostly just used with foreign dignitaries for meetings int he like a long while back now. Every room is, unfortunately, give or take the same. We spent a long time in here because they give you an audio player that activates depending on which room you're in that describes the objects in the room, but to be honest, all the rooms are basically the same. It's still worth going to and I think it was fairly cheap, but once you make it past the first one or two conference rooms, everything is essentially the same and you can turn the audio device off and wander freely after that!

  A really beautiful but not widely known tourist attraction that should not be missed out.

  A summer palace built by Sultan Abdulmecit in 1856 upon the ruins of an earlier building. The style is Western and the architect is Nikogos Balyan.
