Itinerary

Pierre Loti
Admission included30 min

The famous café entitled with the name of Pierre Loti, a famous French writer, is reached on getting to this ridge on which the perfect view of Golden Horn can be watched. We get down the hill by cable car.

Eyup Sultan Mosque
60 min

This important complex marks the supposed burial place of Ebu Eyüp el-Ensari, a friend of the prophet who fell in the battle outside the walls of Constantinople while carrying the banner of Islam during the Arab assault and siege of the city (AD 674 to 678 ). His Tomb is Istanbul's most important Islamic shrine

CamlIca Mosque
50 min

The Great Camlica Mosque, which is considered the newest symbol of the city since its foundation, was designed with inspiration from both today's lines and history, as well as Ottoman and Seljuk architecture. Each mixture of the Grand Camlica Mosque has been designed with the finest detail in mind, and it is truly eye-catching both visually and functionally.

Beylerbeyi Palace
Admission included60 min

Beylerbeyi Palace is perched on the Bosphorus Strait and has a nautical theme that runs through the decorations inside, thanks to the passion Sultan Abdulaziz had for the sea. Paintings on the wall and designs on the ceiling depict water-and-ship-themed images, and the palace is dotted with fountains and pools.

Golden Horn
Admission included120 min

When we reach our boat, which is moored in the estuary, the departure point of our boat, we get on the boat for our Bosphorus tour.

Bosphorus Strait
Pass by

The Bosporus or Bosphorus is a narrow, natural strait and an internationally significant waterway located in northwestern Turkey.

Rumeli Fortress
Pass by

Explore the historical Rumeli fortress constructed by Fatih Sultan Mehmet that marks the narrowest point of the Bosphorus. During the Bosphorus tour, our guide will give you information on every important point passed. A fantastic place with a panoramic view, perfect for taking photographs and boarding your sightseeing boat.

Bosphorus Bridge
Pass by

The Bosphorus Bridge, also popularly known as the “First Bridge,” due to its being the first bridge to be constructed over the Bosphorus, is a suspension bridge that connects Asia and Europe via a highway between Ortaköy and Beylerbeyi. The idea of connecting the continents of Asia and Europe with a bridge and enabling an easy journey between the opposite shores has been on the agenda throughout history. As a matter of fact, the story of the construction of the first bridge over the Bosphorus is to some extent mythical.
