When "Orient Express" reached Istanbul five years after its operation in 1883, the first hotels of Istanbul had already begun to appear, in the very cosmopolit westernized section of the city called "Pera". One of those hotels was "Hotel Buyuk Londra" or "Grand Hotel De Londres", which soon after its opening took its place among the best hotels of Istanbul, together with Tokatliyan and Pera Palace.

Hotel Buyuk Londra is one of the few establishments managing to survive from that era to our time. Passing through many renovations, the hotel nevertheless still graciously reflects the atmosphere of the 1900's.

Çiya --- like its name, brings to mind high mountain peaks and mountain flowers. In the old days when one would go only for a good kebab or a good lahmacun and those that knew the name "Çiya" could learn the meaning just by asking, a dinning experience that is known as "Çiya" was born in this nest. To this wealth of gourmet expertise a second specially set-up "Sofra" or Kebab House was added. Soon after within a few meters of each other a third "kebab house" was added, hence the three"Çiya"s. Located in the Fish Market district of Kadiköy, where one's path will definitely be drawn to one of these establishments .
