Detailed Description
After a long day of sightseeing in Istanbul, unwind yourself on this 2-hour Golden Horn and Bosphorus cruise. Meet your guide across from the Hagia Sophia, and go together down to the pier behind the Hagia Sophia. From there, you can explore the Golden Horn, a major urban waterway and the primary inlet of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, as well as the 32-kilometer-long Bosphorus, which connects Europe and Asia. You will be able to see the main attractions of Istanbul, such as majestic palaces, old castles, famous hills and parks, and spectacular seaside mansions from various ages. All of this sightseeing will, of course, include passing beneath some of Istanbul's most iconic bridges. You can catch sight of the Dolmabahce Palace, Ciragan Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress, and Beylerbeyi Palace along the way.
