Half Day Afternoon Bosphorus Tour by Public Catamaran

Take a public boat on a Bosphorus cruise to see the Bosphorus and its unique beauty as you travel between Europe and Asia.

The Conqueror constructed the historic weapon to monitor and defend the Bosphorus. We won’t be visiting the Castle, however, it’s even worth seeing from the water. An extraordinary structure of the military design.

The first Byzantine colonies were established in what is now known as the Golden Horn (from the bus), a natural harbour on the historical peninsula separating the old and new parts of Istanbul. Besides being the home of Muslims, it is also home to Byzantine Jews, Italian merchants, and other non-Muslim minorities. Visit the 22 kilometres of Byzantine City Walls, the most formidable fortification of the Middle Ages, the Jewish Hospital (Or-Ahayim), the Fener Orthodox Patriarchate, and more on a driving tour of Balat’s historical sites.

Take the teleferique (cable car) to the Pierre Loti Cafe.

IMPERIAL GARDENS OF ROYAL YILDIZ PALACE BOSPHORUS BRIDGE connecting EUROPE & ASIA continents • BEYLERBEYİ PALACE will be observed from the boat.
