Ortaköy is one of Istanbul's favorite districts with its beautiful and colorful bazaar and lively atmosphere located in the triangle of the magnificent mosque, mosque, church, and synagogue, situated under the European foot of the Bosphorus Bridge.
It is claimed that the oldest known name of the district, which is thought to date back to the pre-Christian era as a small fishing village, is Hallai, a corrupted form of the word Skallai (piers) written in various ways (Challae, Chilai, Khile) in various sources.
The Rumeli Fortress, which is a magnificent structure with its three big towers and city walls, is located opposite the Anadolu fortress at the point where the two shores of the Bosphorus are at the very closest point.
Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge is the suspension bridge between Kavacık and Hisarüstü in Istanbul, connecting Asia and Europe for the second time after the Bosphorus Bridge.
Anadoluhisarı was built between 1393 and 1394 on the commission of the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I, as part of his preparations for a siege on the then-Byzantine city of Constantinople.
Kucuksu Pavilion (Küçüksu Kasrı) located in the area between Küçüksu and Göksu streams in the Bosphorus, dates back to the Byzantine period. Küçüksu was one of the sultan’s private gardens during the Ottoman period. It is known that Murad IV. (1623-1640) loved it and called it “Silver Cypress”.
Beylerbeyi Palace, which has an impressive structure with its wooden carving and gold embroidery workmanship, is one of the most spectacular buildings in Istanbul.
One of the most romantic symbols of Istanbul, the Maiden's Tower was restored in 2000 and started to serve as a restaurant. Üsküdar coastal boats reached the island in 5 minutes to offer marriage to the girl, became one of Istanbul's customs. There is no need to eat in the restaurant to visit the Maiden's Tower, you can only see the Maiden's Tower by paying the toll on the boat.

The New Year's Eve boat party was absolutely unforgettable! Cruising along the Bosphorus with stunning views of Istanbul’s iconic landmarks was a magical way to celebrate. The vibrant music and traditional performances made the night enjoyable for everyone, and the fireworks at midnight were simply spectacular. It was an extraordinary evening full of joy and excitement!

The New Year's Eve boat party was an amazing experience! The vibrant atmosphere and unlimited drinks made every moment worthwhile. Watching the fireworks over the Bosphorus while cruising past Istanbul's iconic landmarks was mesmerizing. The DJ performances and belly dancing show kept the energy high throughout the night. It was the perfect way to ring in the New Year with unforgettable memories!"

Pre-arrange a taxi or ride because it is impossible to get a taxi. The cruise itself was fun, unlimited drinks but the turkey was dry… the pasta plate or falafel looked better. Lots of dancing and great fireworks show.

Thank you for your nice comment. Thank you for choosing us. We wish you a nice day.
The pick up at our hotel was an hour and fifteen minutes late. When we arrived at the boat all the other over 350 guests had already finished their first course. We were paying a high price for a meal and open bar. But it was extremely challenging to get a refill for our glasses of terrible quality white wine and the food was tasteless and very disappointing. The show was extremely mediocre especially the belly dancer whose main interest was to swivel her belly in front of men prepared to give her a tip. As for the fireworks - there was no show just a few fireworks at different spots around the Bosphorus. This experience was a waste of money, we would have been much better off going to a good restaurant in Istanbul for a special meal.
Hello, first of all, we couldn't understand your comment. About 350 people participated in the tour you mentioned and we received positive feedback from many of our customers. Maybe this tour does not appeal to your area of interest. You bought the tour directly from our website and all the details and videos about the tour have been published on our website. And you bought them on purpose. You are right about the transfer, there was a delay, but we warned you a few days before the tour day. Traffic in Istanbul is very busy at New Year's, and there is nothing we can do about it. All our customers have been given the necessary importance in terms of food and drink and everything declared on our website has been provided. If there was a problem, I wish you had reported the situation to our staff on the boat at that time and we provided a solution for you immediately. However, we are sorry for the negative experience you had. If you come to Istanbul again, we would like to host you. We do not want any of our customers to have a bad experience.
Everything was perfect. organization and service beyond our expectations. The waiters are attentive to our needs and always ready to serve. The show was interesting and beautiful. The atmosphere of the party was created by the people who chose to spend New Year's Eve on the Bosphorus. I recommend!
Hello, Thank you for your nice comment. We will be pleased to see you again on our yacht tour. We wish you a nice day.
We came for the New Year's tour. It was a great tour. They asked us to comment on our trip last year. Last year we liked everything. Belly dancer, folk dance, food was very good. They arranged us an unforgettable night. If we have the opportunity in the future, we plan to participate again. Thank you for last year. We recommend Acetes to everyone. Thank you...

We attended the New Year's Eve party with Acetes travel for the years 2022 and 2021. It was a great party. We examined the program, it was the same this year. We are considering joining with our family. I want to talk a little bit about my experience last year. We made our reservation before we came to Turkey. They informed us in detail about the program. They picked us up from our hotel on New Year's Eve. When we got to the boat, appetizers were waiting for us on our table. They started with the whirling dervish show. Then we ate the turkey which is on the main menu. It was delicious. There were a lot of shows during the night. The most memorable for us was the fireworks in the Bosphorus. There was a tremendous show. It was unforgettable for me to watch the sky like that with my loved ones. When the tour ended, they dropped us back to our hotel. When I came across the tour on Tripadvisor, I wanted to comment. Thank you for the past years :>>>
