  • A Bosphorus and Black Sea sojourn

    Embark on a half-day journey that starts with a pick-up from your central Istanbul hotel and set sail on the Bosphorus Strait, cutting through the heart of Istanbul. An experienced tour guide, well-versed in the city's rich tapestry of history, regales you with tales of stunning Ottoman-era mansions, striking city mosques, and the iconic Galata Tower that dot the strait. Glide under the Bosphorus Bridge, a marvel connecting two continents, a testament to Istanbul's unique blend of Asia and Europe. Complementing these visual treats is a 2-course meal of sumptuous grilled chicken and traditional meze dishes, accompanied by soft drinks, Turkish tea, and Nescafe.
