Visit especially in spring to see the garden with colorful flowers. It has a great view of bosphorus. There is a restaurant inside of the histrorical building and a cafe in the garden . On weekends restaurant offers brunch. It's very crowded in spring and summer season.

After an authentic and eye-opening bus trip (which caused us to miss our 1TL tea in perfectly servicable cafe watching the enthusiastically shouting fish traders) we trekked through the Kanlica ghetto, up the HILL (an understatement).

You should go early in the morning and gave breakfast after a short walk in the walking path. On special days the restaurant has discounts so It will be crowded. Better to go in regular days. You should find some other reviews about the Hidiv Kasrı in the following link http://www.vidistanbul.com/attractions/khedive-palace/ .
