About This Tour
Experience Istanbul from the water on this exclusive private Bosphorus cruise. The Bosphorus strait — the only natural waterway separating two continents — is best seen from the deck of your own private boat.
Sail past Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace, and the Rumeli and Anadolu fortresses. Watch the Ottoman-era waterfront mansions (yalıs) glide by as you cross between Europe and Asia. The golden hour light makes this one of the most photographed moments in Istanbul.
Cold drinks and snacks are included on board.
