The allure of the Bosphorus with its seagulls, waterfront mansions and countless neighborhoods dares you to feel the nostalgia of a by-gone era. As it carries you along two continents, the 2.5-hour cruise and your local guide will treat you with fresh seasonal fruits, tea and coffee, as well as panoramic views that will take your breath away.

In just one trip, float around and get a good look at Besiktas, Ortakoy, Arnavutkoy, Bebek, Rumeli Hisarı, Emirgan, Tarabya, Yenikoy, Istinye, Sariyer, Uskudar, Kanlica, Beykoz, Anadolu Hisarı, Beylerbeyi and Cengelkoy districts and more!

Skip the line and visit the Dolmabahçe Palace, the elegant symbolic structure of the Bosphorus, where 14 tons of gold were used to decorate ceilings in gold leaves, and the successor of Topkapi Palace. Iit has the most impressive, lavish interiors as well as a painting collection. No wonder that the palace can be entered only with a guide.

Any tour of Istanbul without a visit to the Spice Bazaar will be complete. Fragrant and colorful, Mısır Çarşısı is also known as the Egyptian Bazaar or the Corn Market, because of the synonyms of word Mısır, Egypt and corn. Shop for pomegranate sauce, Iranian saffron, rosebud, jasmine, fruit teas and lukum in every color and flavor. And surely, don't miss honey and nut soaked baklava as well as iconic Turkish coffee!
