Overview

See Istanbul from a completely different perspective with this half-day cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. Once the cruise begins, you're free to relax and take photos as you travel along this natural waterway that links together Europe and Asia. Enjoy the massive skyscrapers and colorful buildings bordered by the city's lush forests and tranquil blue waters. Try to spot some popular tourist landmarks like the Rumeli Fortress, a massive stone structure built on top of hills, and the opulent Dolmabahce Palace, which served as the main administrative center of the Ottoman Empire. Once the cruise is over, you'll then take a bus ride to get to the Teleferik Cable Car Station, where you'll get to see the magnificent Golden Horn, the primary inlet of the Bosphorus. Enjoy a scenic cable car trip up to Pierre Loti Coffee House, where French novelist Pierre Loti came for inspiration. Soak up this unbeatable view of the surrounding areas, with gorgeous views stretching down to the Galata Tower.

Istanbul with the most beautiful views

I am very happy to visit a new scenic spot. I can see the whole of Istanbul, Europe and Asia from a high place. It is very beautiful. It is a pity that the heavy rain did not let me stay too long. Thanks Giray for your company.

The boat is good and the site is fantastic. The guide is very very kind and he has good looking. I

Bosphorus afternoon cruise

Published on Jun, 2023

Well organised, great views, lots of sights included, tour guide was really helpful and driver dropped us off at the end of the tour at our next planned stop rather than the hotel. Excellent service
