ITINERARY
- Sailing through the Bosphorus offers a breathtaking view of Istanbul, where Europe meets Asia. This natural waterway connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara and is famed for its sparkling blue waters and historical significance. The name “Bosphorus” is rooted in ancient mythology.
- Originally an Ottoman imperial palace, Çırağan now operates as a five-star hotel with an elegant riverside setting. Its opulent architecture and exclusive atmosphere reflect the lavish lifestyle of the sultans.
- This grand palace served as the administrative center of the late Ottoman Empire. Located in Beşiktaş, its blend of European and Ottoman styles and waterfront beauty make it one of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks.
- Known unofficially as the First Bridge, it’s a suspension bridge linking the European and Asian sides of the city. Towering 64 meters above sea level, it’s both a symbol of unity and an engineering marvel.
- Situated on the Asian shore, this elegant marble palace was used as a summer residence by Ottoman sultans. Its tranquil gardens and waterfront setting create a peaceful contrast to the bustling city.
- This historic bridge spans the Golden Horn and connects the heart of the old city. It’s a cultural icon featured in Turkish poems, novels, and daily life, where fishermen still cast their lines into the water.
- One of Istanbul’s oldest towers, Galata Tower provides a panoramic view over the city. Built by the Genoese, it marks the boundary between the Golden Horn and Bosphorus and stands as a symbol of the city’s rich past.
