Hotel pick-up. Enjoy a full-day Bosphorus tour combining history, culture, and breathtaking views of Istanbul.
In the morning, we begin with a visit to the Egyptian Bazaar (Spice Bazaar), built in the 17th century and located in the historic Eminonu district. This vibrant market is famous for its spices, aromas, and local delicacies.
We then proceed to the pier to board a regular Bosphorus cruise, sailing along the Marmara Sea and the Bosphorus Strait, where Europe and Asia meet. During the cruise, you will admire iconic landmarks such as Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace, and the impressive Rumeli Fortress, among many others.
After the cruise, we continue to the Beylerbeyi Palace, an elegant palace built of white marble in the 19th century by Sultan Abdülaziz. It served as a summer residence for Ottoman sultans and as a guesthouse for foreign dignitaries.
Our tour concludes with a visit to Camlica Hill, also known as the “Hill of Lovers,” offering a magnificent panoramic view of Istanbul and the Bosphorus from the Asian side.
