Best forbudget travelers · sightseers
A clean, quiet guesthouse where breakfast is included and genuinely praised — hearty and delicious — Agora sits a five-minute walk from the Blue Mosque with easy tram access and a nice terrace. Staff are kind, Japanese-speaking help reassures East Asian guests, and nearby inexpensive restaurants get recommended. Amenities like laundry are lacking, and one bed curtain arrived busted.
