Set in a tall Ottoman building, in a street full of stunning architecture you’ll find Litera. A laidback rooftop bar on the fifth floor of the Goethe Institute, BarChick comes here to get her smart on and mingle with literary types.

Take in epic views as you perch on high stools gazing through glass walls. By night the Asian side of Istanbul, the Bosphorus and Sultan Ahmed are lit-up and the whole effect is kinda sexy.

With a café-like atmosphere by day, there’s some decent food on offer but it’s all about the after dinner vibe for BarChick. The dance floor is the perfect place to shed that geeky demeanour, get low and make the most of this unpretentious terrace bar.
