Traditional Mehter performances organized by the Directorate of National Palaces have resumed for the summer season and will continue until Sept. 30.
The performances will take place every Tuesday at Dolmabahçe Palace, every Wednesday at Topkapı Palace and every Thursday at Yıldız Palace.
With the start of the summer tourism season and rising visitor numbers, the events are expected to attract significant interest once again this year.
The concerts will begin at 11 a.m. in front of Dolmabahçe Palace’s Treasury Gate, at the Babüssaade entrance of Topkapı Palace and in the first courtyard of Yıldız Palace. Each performance will last about 30 minutes and will be open to palace visitors.
