About this experience
If you have already visited the main attractions of Istanbul, it's time to embark on a journey through the non-touristic part and get to know the other side of the multifaceted city: leisurely stroll along the Bosphorus, learn about the high society lifestyle, enjoy the views from the fortress, and feel like a local.
What to expect
Historical fortress and upscale district
In Rumeli Hisar Fortress, you will hear about the fall of Constantinople and enjoy the views. And in the elite Bebek district, you will walk along one of the best waterfront promenades in the city, count the number of white yachts, and observe the leisurely life of Istanbulites. We will tell you why locals love this district so much.
"Albanian village" and ferry ride
Arnavutkoy (Albanian village) is a district with colorful houses where aristocrats live. We will take a ferry ride to admire the "lace" villas from the water. And when we disembark, we will visit the beautiful Ortakoy Mosque and see the first bridge connecting Europe and Asia.
Turkish cuisine
At the end of the walk, you will have the option to try the popular dish - kumpir. It's a whole baked potato with fillings of your choice inside. Delicious? Very!
