Bosphorus Cruise & Two Continents Tour
If you want to learn about the places to visit in Istanbul and make the most of a day, this Istanbul Outdoor Activities tour is just right for you. Our tour starts with picking you up from your hotel in the morning with our private vehicle. We'll take a short trip to the palace, and upon arrival, our professional guide will...

Dolmabahçe Palace is one of Istanbul's most extraordinary buildings. With its history, architectural design, and cultural significance, this palace is a must-see in this beautiful city. Ottoman sultans and presidents have resided here, and it has been a tourist dream since construction began in 1856.

Dolmabahçe Palace has three main sections: the Administrative Offices, the Ceremonial Hall, and the Imperial Harem. It contains 285 rooms, 46 reception halls and galleries, 6 Turkish baths, and 68 toilets. Here you will have the opportunity to explore all these areas during your visit.

After our visit to Dolmabahçe Palace , we head towards the Bosphorus. The journey won't take long, as Dolmabahçe offers a direct view of the Bosphorus Bridge and is located right next to the sea. The Bosphorus Bridge is one of the most important architectural structures in Istanbul . Spanning two continents, the bridge is also a masterpiece of art. From here, you can gaze upon both continents and take in the breathtaking views of the city and the sea.

A short journey from the Bosphorus Bridge takes you to Çamlıca Hill . At 288 meters high, you can see all the beauties of Istanbul from here. This hill may be the only place that truly appreciates the city's beauty. Untouched nature awaits you, allowing you to gather remnants and rest to recharge your energy.

Next, we will arrive at Pierre Lotti Hill . This location was an incredible source of inspiration for the famous Louis Marie Julien Viaud. When you find this place, you will see why it was an artistic inspiration for the author. The view of the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara, and the organic nature surrounding the place, will certainly be inspiring for you as well. We will reach the summit of Pierre Lotti Hill by cable car. After this adrenaline-filled experience, we will explore the surroundings, admire the view, and relax while enjoying Turkish coffee.

Seen as a powerful link between Asia and Europe, the Bosphorus is one of the many reasons for Istanbul's significant development. During the cruise, you'll feel the fresh sea breeze, the range of seagulls will continue, and the magnificent sea view, along with the traditional mansions along the shore, will give you a glimpse of the real Istanbul. The Bosphorus Tour is truly the best way to convey the city's recognition.

Finally, we head to Anadolu Kavağı . This place, where you can buy fish, is a hidden gem, frequented only by local fishermen. It's one of Istanbul's lesser-known beauties, so there's plenty to buy. Small boats are accessories to Anadolu Kavağı and its breathtaking features. We also visit Yoros Castle and Ali Reis Mosque, two locations that will help us understand the historical context of this humble place.

After a busy day, we'll drop you back at your hotel, and our tour will end.
