Itinerary
Bosphorus Luxury Yacht Cruise

Your guide meets you at your hotel or at the port, and together you set off to see Istanbul in all its glory from the Bosphorus.

For five hours you cruise on a luxury yacht and take in spectacular views of the city and both shores.

Along the way you see Ottoman palaces, many beautiful 19th- and 20th-century wooden waterfront houses (yali), old mansions, castles, a fortress and modern villas.

Your private motor yacht follows the famous waterway between Europe and Asia while you relax and admire marble palaces, old wooden villas and luxurious modern homes.

You also pass Rumeli Fortress, built to control and defend the Bosphorus, and head towards the Maiden's Tower, whose story goes back to the Byzantine era.

Your private guide explains the history, culture and architecture of each landmark as you go.

At the end of the five-hour cruise your guide accompanies you back to your hotel.
