Istanbul: Bosphorus Cruise on A Private Luxury Yacht

Meet your private guide at your hotel or port to enjoy a 2-hour cruise on the Bosphorus, a natural strait connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. Hop on board a luxury yacht, and take in the spectacular views of Istanbul and the Bosphorus shores. During the cruise, pass by Ottoman palaces, as well as many 19th and 20th-century wooden yalis (houses), old mansions, and modern villas. Relax on your private motor yacht as you go along the famed waterway that separates parts of Asian Turkey (Anatolia) from European Turkey. Sit back and admire marble palaces, ancient wooden villas, and modern luxury residences and apartments. See Rumeli Fortress, a historical armament built to control and protect the Bosphorus and head for Maiden’s Tower, a Byzantine fortress from the 12th century. At the end of the private Bosphorus tour, be accompanied back to your hotel by your private tour guide.
