Golden Horn & Bosphorus Cruise

Description

We'll meet at 3 pm in n front of the Şirvan Sofrasi restaurant in Istanbul. After meeting with the local guide, and before the Bosphorus cruise, we'll first take a 30-miunte guided walking tour.

For about an hour, we'll explore the city and discover some of the most iconic monuments of the city, 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: go down to explore the area and return on your own later or continue on board and return to the port of departure on the ship. It's up to you!
