Bosphorus Strait
Experience the enchanting beauty of Istanbul illuminated by night as we sail through the legendary waters of the Bosphorus. This two-hour guided evening cruise offers a unique perspective of the city’s iconic landmarks, bathed in the warm glow of city lights and history.
Our journey begins near the historic Galata Bridge, a vibrant symbol of Istanbul connecting continents, where the modern city meets its ancient soul. As we glide by, the striking silhouette of the Galata Tower stands proudly over the old city skyline.
Cruising north along the European shore, we pass the majestic Dolmabahçe Palace, a masterpiece of Ottoman grandeur, followed by the elegant Çırağan Palace, now a luxurious hotel with a royal past
As the Bosphorus narrows, we approach the powerful stone walls of Rumeli Fortress, built by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror in the 15th century. Directly across the strait stands its counterpart, the lesser-known but equally charming Anadolu Fortress, marking the historic control of the strait.
We cruise beneath two iconic suspension bridges: the 15 July Martyrs Bridge and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, both connecting Europe and Asia, illuminated beautifully at night.
On the Asian side, we admire the graceful structure of Kuleli Military High School, an architectural gem by the waterfront, and soon arrive at the elegant Beylerbeyi Palace, a summer residence for Ottoman sultans.
enjoy complimentary tea and cookies as our expert guide shares fascinating stories and historical insights, turning every sight into a window into Istanbul's rich and layered past.
