Golden Horn & Bosphorus Cruise

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.

Cruise Details

We'll meet at the indicated time 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.

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. 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 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 admiring sights like the Dolmabahç Palace, Ç?ra?an Palace, the Ortaköy Mosque, and the Rumelihisari Fortress.

The boat will take us to the Asian side of Istanbul, where we'll conclude this approximately 3-hour cruise. 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 continue sailing to the Eminönü - Haliç - Bo?az ?skelesi pier—it's up to you!

Important Info
