KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Taverna 37 from Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens is featured at AQUA in Istanbul for a limited time.
• The dining experience focuses on Greek meze, grilled dishes and Aegean flavours for sharing.

A taste of the Athens Riviera has arrived on Istanbul’s Bosphorus waterfront, where Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus is hosting a limited-time Greek dining experience at its AQUA restaurant. The collaboration brings the concept of Taverna 37, the beachfront restaurant at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, to a new setting overlooking the strait.

Rather than opening a separate permanent restaurant, the hotel is incorporating the Taverna 37 experience within AQUA. The offering centres on Greek meze, grilled dishes and Aegean flavours, with an emphasis on plates intended for sharing. It introduces an Athens Riviera-style dining option for hotel guests and other visitors seeking an evening meal beside the Bosphorus.

Taverna 37’s approach draws on the relaxed conventions of Greek taverna dining, where a selection of dishes is served across the table. Its temporary appearance in Istanbul connects two Four Seasons properties through a restaurant concept while retaining AQUA’s waterfront location and established dining setting.

The hotel describes the experience as limited-time, but its announcement does not specify an end date. Travellers considering a visit should therefore check directly with the restaurant for the latest availability and menu details rather than assume the experience will run throughout a particular season.

Dinner overlooking the Bosphorus

AQUA’s indoor dining room and terrace look out onto the Bosphorus, providing the setting for the Greek-themed evening service. According to the hotel’s published dining information, dinner is offered daily from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Reservations and further information are available through AQUA’s official restaurant page or by calling +90 (212) 381 40 00. Guests can also explore the property’s other dining venues during their visit.
