Program details
In this afternoon tour, you can discover Istanbul from the sea as well as from above as you take an invigorating
cruise on the Bosphorus and then
climb high above the city in a cable car. Explore an
exotic spice market and discover the heart of Istanbul as you watch its most famous sights glide by from the deck of a river cruiser.
After being picked up from your hotel, we'll head straight for the waterfront and board a river cruiser for a cruise along the Bosphorus between two continents. We'll pass the sumptuous
Dolmabahçe and Beylerbeyi Palaces, the impressive Rumeli Fortress, built by Sultan Mehmet II the Conqueror during the siege of Constantinople in 1453 and
Leander's Tower, one of the symbols of Istanbul.
Then we'll climb to the top of
Pierre Loti Hill by cable car where you can enjoy
amazing panoramic views over the Bosphorus, the
Golden Horn and the city. Next we'll reboard the bus and head for the Golden Horn. This natural and extremely secure harbour has played an important role in the development of Istanbul.
