Rumeli Fortress
Rumelihisarı (also known as Rumelian Castle) is a medieval fortress located in Istanbul, Turkey, on a series of hills on the European banks of the Bosphorus. Conceived and built between 1451 and 1452 on the orders of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, the complex was commissioned in preparation for a planned Ottoman siege on the then-Byzantine city of Constantinople, with the goal of cutting off maritime military and logistical relief that could potentially come to the Byzantines' aid by way of the Bosphorus Strait. You will be able to see this huge fortress from the yacht. It is one of the best buildings to see from the Bosphorus strait.
