During our journey, you will admire colorful neighborhoods, see elegant wooden villas, and explore magnificent sultanate palaces. Among them, Küçüksu stands out - sometimes called the Palace of the Heavenly Waters. I will explain why it is called that and reveal the secret of its beauty.

The yacht will pass by massive ships and sail under the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. You will also see the "Throat-Cut Bosphorus" and uncover why it has such a chilling name.
