It is very interesting and unusual. I definitely recommend it. Mostly they are visited by locals. If you want to know how the sultan's harem lived, how 200 years ago they swam in pools, and the servants lived in the basement, go there.
A great place for a guided tour.
The palace is huge. There are basement rooms where you can get to. You can go to the mosque located on the territory.
Entrance is 70 TL
, You can get there by dolmush (local minibus) price 12TL one way
