Cruise Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Dolmabahçe Mosque. From there, we'll board a yacht that will take us along the Bosphorus Strait.

We'll gaze at the scenic European and Asian banks, lined with wooden houses, palaces, fortresses, and bridges of various periods. Relax as the boat gently rocks on the waves.

During the first hour of the cruise, you'll sail past the European side of Istanbul, admiring landmarks such as the Galata Tower, Dolmabahçe Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, and Rumelihisar?, commissioned by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in the 15th century.

During the tour, you will enjoy coffee, tea, fruit, and delicious Turkish sweets.

We will float underneath one of the major city bridges to reach the Asian Side of Istanbul. Once there, we will disembark in Kanl?ca, allowing you 20 minutes to explore the neighborhood. Numerous bourgeois mansions from the Ottoman Empire can be seen, and we recommend trying the yogurt served in local cafes.

After two and a half hours aboard a comfortable boat, we'll end the cruise back at the pier in the port of Kabatas.
