The Bosphorus Bridge is one of two bridges that spans the Bosphorus Strait, connecting the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. It stretches from Ortakoy on the European side to Beylerbeyi on the Asian side and is sometimes referred to as the First Bosphorus Bridge.
literally means "Maiden's Tower" in Turkish. The name comes from a legend: the Byzantine emperor heard a prophecy telling him that his beloved daughter would die at the age of 18 by a snake. So he decided to put her in this tower built on a rock on the Bosphorus isolated from the land thus no snake could kill her.
The Romanesque style tower was built as Christea Turris (Tower of Christ) in 1348 during an expansion of the Genoese colony in Constantinople. Galata Tower was the tallest building in Istanbul at 219.5 ft (66.9 m) when it was built in 1348.
Dolmabahçe Palace is a palace-museum located in İstanbul. The palace was built in the 19th century during the period of Sultan Abdulmecid. After the foundation of Republic, it was used as a Presidential Residence until 1949. The palace was open to diplomatic meetings until 1984 when it became a museum.
Rumeli Castle (Rumeli Hisarı) is an Ottoman fortress dating to 1452. It was built by Ottoman sultan Mehmed II (Mehmed the Conqueror) in preparation of the conquest of Constantinople. The castle is situated on the shore of the Bosphorus Strait at its narrowest point with approximately 660 meters.
Described by some as a miniature Dolmabahce Palace but without the crowds, the Beylerbeyi Sarayı (Beylerbeyi Palace) was commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz to act as an imperial summer residence. With 24 rooms, 6 halls, and a hamam, it would have been quite the summer home, and was also used to entertain visiting dignitaries.
Seen from the Bosphorus cruise, the Bosphorus coastline on the European side resembles a string of villages, each with their own individual character and attractions, and indeed that’s just what it was. Located between down-to-earth Beşiktaş and chichi Kuruçeşme, Ortakoy does what its name suggests and positions itself somewhere in the middle (orta köy means ‘middle village’ in Turkish).

The Fortress of Rumeli Fortress, located on the European shore of the Bosphorus and in the northernmost district of Istanbul, is a striking monument.

The walk itself was quite quiet and beautiful. The big problem was in the end. The boat crashed at a point in a park but apparently had no permission to stop at that point because it was approached by the maritime police and the pilot was driven along with the boat. Boat a little old and in poor condition.
The cruise was fine, the boat was comfortable except for the balloons that could not see well, the very complicated thing was to find it. A gentleman, who turned out to be a "Guide" found us after walking and walking. In doing so he made us walk back and wait for the boat that simply stopped. It's not a jetty proper but the shore. On the way back we were stopped by the police...

I would not recommend this tour. We paid $603 for a private guided tour. Twenty minutes into the boat ride, we asked when the guided tour was to begin since it's 2 hour tour. We were told we had not chosen the guided option. I showed them receipt and they made a call and said they would pick up guide. He showed up 1 hour into a 2 hour tour. We had only planned for 2:15 hours so missed about half the stuff on itinerary. It was a special surprise for my two friends birthdays to do a private guided. It was a complete waste of money. We could've done non-private unguided tour for less than 1/3 of price. They never offered to refund any of our money!!!

Cruise along the Bosphorus to do absolutely at sunset! However, watch out for the very cool wind on the boat, to enjoy the view you should ideally go to the top, but this is also where it is coolest! The cruise starts along the European shore and then along the Anatolian shore on the way back, when the sun is razor-sharp and brings beautiful lights. Passionate comments from Kerem, our guide, quick to discuss and talk about his city or its history. Dinner aperitif served during the cruise: chips, peanuts and others, fresh cut fruit, small desserts. Tour well organized and well run.

Awesome girlfriend's birthday party experience. Rented a yacht for two hours, we made a trip from Halic embarkment to Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and back. I brought champagne and snacks, and the crew helped to prepare and serve them. No need to worry about glasses, forks and etc. The yacht's audio system has Bluetooth, so you listen to your own music. The girl and our friends are delighted. A charming city, fresh air, luxury yacht, and friendly crew. I had a problem - no credit card available, so the manager met me in the city, and I paid the deposit. He also helped me plan the trip and answer the questions, so the experience would be great.
