A cruise along the Bosphorus is a must for every trip to Istanbul. On board this boat, we'll sail around the Golden Horn, the oldest quarter in this Turkish city.
Description
We'll meet at 3 pm in front of the store Pasion Turca in Istanbul. After meeting with the local guide and before the Bosphorus cruise, we'll first take a 15-minute guided walking tour.
For about an hour, we'll explore the city and discover some of its most iconic monuments, including the Byzantine mural. Did you know that it's considered one of the most important artworks in Constantinople?
Then, we'll walk to the port to board the boat that'll take us to explore the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn and embark on a sightseeing adventure to visit the most outstanding tourist attractions in the city from the water. For an hour and a half, we'll sail through the Golden Horn, the oldest quarter in Ottoman Istanbul.
From the boat, we'll see iconic landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace, and the Galata Tower. Afterward, we'll continue sailing along the Bosphorus, crossing its famous bridges and continue admiring other major sights of Istanbul, such as the Dolmabahç Palace, Çırağan Palace, the Ortaköy Mosque or the Rumelihisari Fortress.
The boat will take us to the Asian side of Istanbul, where we'll arrive at approximately 6 pm. Here you'll have two options: you can either get off the boat to explore the Üsküdar port and return on your own later, or stay on board and return to the port of departure on the ship. It's up to you!
