Eyüpsultan stands on the short stretch of shoreline at the inner end of the Golden Horn and gives its name to the district around it. At its core are the Eyüp Sultan Mosque and the tomb of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, a companion of the Prophet; the mosque was built by Sultan Mehmed II shortly after the conquest of the city, and Ottoman sultans were girded with the sword here. The historic cemeteries around it hold the graves of Ottoman statesmen, scholars and artists. On the waterfront is Feshane, founded by Mahmud II to produce the fez, and on the hillside behind the mosque is Pierre Loti Hill, reached by cable car or on foot through the cemetery. This is not a holiday neighbourhood in the usual sense: above all it is a place of religious pilgrimage.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is 44 km away, about 43 minutes by road, which makes Eyüpsultan one of the closest central neighbourhoods to the airport. Local traffic, though, follows the religious calendar: Friday prayers, Ramadan, religious holidays and holy nights noticeably increase congestion around the mosque. Leave extra time if your transfer falls on one of those days. Landing at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) makes the journey considerably longer, since it means crossing the Bosphorus from the Asian side.

There are two practical points. First: the area immediately around the mosque and tomb is pedestrian only and closed to cars, and the square and its surroundings are in the middle of a large redevelopment, so permitted drop-off points shift from time to time. Most hotels here are on the narrow lanes feeding into the square; our driver takes you as close as vehicles are allowed and helps with your bags over the short remaining distance. Second: Eyüpsultan is not just this historic core — it is a very large district of 29 neighbourhoods reaching from Alibeyköy and Rami out to Silahtarağa and Kemerburgaz. If your address is in one of those outer neighbourhoods rather than by the mosque, both the route and the journey time change completely, so please give the neighbourhood name when you book.
