YAĞCI ŞEFİK BEY Yalısı / YAGCI SEFIK BEY Mansion

In the place of Yagci Sefik Bey Yali, there was an earlier mansion belonging to Cemile Sultan, the sister of Sultan Abdülhamit II.

In 1905, Sefik Bey, a successful businessman and also the founder of Association of the Naval Fleet, built this magnificient yali. The larger of the two parts of the house is the Haremlik - reserved for women, and the smaller building is the Selamlik – reserved for men.

As you travel towards Çubuklu from South to north, you see the 7-8 Hasan Pasa Yali and the  Rasim Pasa Yali, recently turned into a boutique hotel.
