			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time when the &#8220;Yali&#8221;s, wonderful seaside mansions, so essential to the Istanbul cityscape, were lined up one after another along the shores of Kuruçesme. These were huge mansions settled in Eden-like gardens, where extended families lived together happily ever after.  Regrettably, with time almost all of these beauties vanished.</p>
<p>Fortunately, one of the remaining Yali&#8217;s, the one called &#8220;Muhsinzade Mehmet Pasa Yalisi” is now resurrected to a hotel of unprecedented service and luxury.</p>
