What to Expect

⛴ 'Grand' Istanbul from the Water. You will sail along the facades of the sultans' Topkapi Palace, see the Maiden's Tower up close, admire the Dolmabahce and Beylerbeyi Palaces. You will see the panoramas of Rumeli Hisari Fortress and Ortakoy Mosque. You will also pass under the Galata Bridge and the first and second Bosphorus Bridges. Along the way, the guide will tell you about the places on the route and will be happy to answer your questions.
🚶 Stop in Beylerbeyi Area. You will have an hour of free time, after which you will continue the journey on the boat. You can walk to the Beylerbeyi Palace, stroll through the landscaped park and promenade, see an ancient mosque up close. Nearby, there is also a city park and shopping centers.
🥗 Breakfast on Board. Breakfast in Turkey is not just a meal, it is a special ritual. And when the sapphire waters of the strait and the picturesque Istanbul shores are in the background, such a morning is the key to a great mood all day long. A table will be set for you with a variety of dishes. The menu includes a cheese platter, pastries, vegetables, eggs, and of course, aromatic tea in tulip-shaped glasses.
🚌 The journey will end at the pier where you departed. You will be taken back to the hotel, or you can choose to stay and continue exploring the city.
