See some of Istanbul’s top attractions from the water on this private 1-hour Bosphorus cruise! Sail along the famous Bosphorus Strait that divides Europe and Asia for magical views over the Rumeli Fortress and Dolmabahçe Palace, among other highlights. Sip on a complimentary glass of wine as you glide under the Bosphorus and Fatih Mehmet bridges and have your camera ready to capture the wooden Ottoman villas, mansions and mosques strung along the shores — all made doubly enchanting by the gauzy light of dusk.
Dolmabahçe Palace, recent residence for Ottoman Sultans built by two Ottoman architects Karabet and Nikogos Balyan on a 110.000 m² area and served as the main administrative center of the Ottoman Empire. Famous with great collection of European antiquity, furniture and 4.5 tons chandelier, the palace has 285 rooms and 46 halls.
Rumeli Fortress (from the boat – no interior visit), historical armament built by the Conqueror to control and protect the Bosphorus. A unique example of military architecture.
Bosphorus Bridge, unique chance to step from one continent (Europe) to another (Asia) in 2 minutes.
