Istanbul Express Old City and Golden Horn Motorcycle Photo Tour

Itinerary

40 min

After your sea journey that began in Üsküdar, we are now on the European side, in the historical peninsula. Here, we will have the opportunity to closely observe Istanbul's historical city walls with a panoramic motorcycle tour along Kennedy Street. You could even call it time travel. Our next stop is the point where Istanbul's sea walls meet its land walls. From here, we will extend to the Yedikule dungeons, a wonderful place where we can add unique photos to our photo album.

Pass by

You will never forget your journey along Kennedy Boulevard in the historic peninsula. Here, we will have the chance to see Istanbul's sea walls from every angle. We will record this journey with an action camera.

Pass by

One of Istanbul's iconic landmarks is the historic Galata Bridge. Crossing it is absolutely essential. Connecting the two sides of the Golden Horn, the bridge features the Galata Tower on one side and the New Mosque on the other. Frequently seen in old photographs of Istanbul, the bridge offers many surprises.

30 min

Your tour of the dungeons has ended, but our tour of the historical peninsula continues. We will explore the different beauties of the city along the coastal road through Sirkeci, Eminonu, Balat, and Eyup. Finally, we will reach Pierre Loti Hill. This is one of the best places to view Istanbul, so much so that travelers often mention it at length in their notes. Here, we will take a short break with coffee, tea, and snacks while enjoying the unique view.

20 min

A break in Balat, steeped in history. We will take a break in Balat, a neighborhood famous for its iconic colorful houses and cobblestone streets from the Ottoman era. We will take photos in this historic part of Istanbul and add new images to our memory book.

5 min

Your motorcycle tour of the Historical Peninsula has ended where we started. Now it's time to say goodbye. From here, you can easily reach your desired destination by tram (land transport) or by sea (city ferry).
