Beautiful palace at a fraction of the price of Dolmabahce, despite the same ban on photos inside. Not far from Uskudar pier but you need to cross the road to get on the right bus. Combined tickets available for other palaces/pavillions farther North but not suitable if you have little time or not staying on the Asian side.
If you plan to visit Kadikoy/Moda afterwards, direct buses from Beylerbeyi are always late, even 10 minutes so consider going back to Uskudar and change there.
