Cruise Details

We'll meet at the indicated time in front of the store Pasion Turca in Istanbul. After meeting with the local guide, 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, which is 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, embarking 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 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 other major sights of Istanbul, including 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, concluding 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.
