Samatya, one of Istanbul's oldest residential areas, has been a melting pot for various cultures throughout history. This neighborhood, where Greek, Armenian, and Muslim communities have coexisted, is notable for its rich cultural heritage. Nestled in the heart of this historic district, K-K Suites & Apartments is located in a setting that echoes the past.
The picturesque landscape of Samatya, reminiscent of bygone eras, begins just below the train station and extends to the square adorned with fishermen and taverns. One of the spiritual symbols of the neighborhood is the Hristos Analipsis Church, dating back to the 16th century. There is also another Greek Orthodox church named after Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and fishermen, known worldwide as Santa Claus. Additionally, the Sulu Monastery, or Surp Kevork Church, a former patriarchal church, is a significant part of the religious and cultural history of the area.
Samatya is shaped not only by its buildings but also by the stories of those who have lived there. Reflecting the spirit of Istanbul, this place is like a treasure waiting to be discovered by both locals and foreign tourists. Also nearby is the restaurant where the famous Turkish TV series "İkinci Bahar," starring Türkan Şoray and Şener Şen, was filmed. This venue offers a nostalgic journey with its enchanting atmosphere.
