The young sultan Mehmet the Conqueror had this magnificent fortress built in March 1452 to keep the Bosphorus under control. (passing by boat)
Beylerbeyi Palace was planned as a summer resort for the Ottoman sultans and a state guesthouse where foreign heads of state or rulers would be hosted, and it was built upon the request of the sultan of the time, Sultan Abdülaziz (1861-1876).
The history of the Maiden's Tower dates back to the times before Christ. When we look at historical evidence, we see that the tower was first mentioned in 410 BC. The tower, built by Alcibiades of Athens, was used to control ships passing through the Bosphorus and collect taxes. Today, it serves as a cafe, museum and restaurant off the coast of Salacak in Üsküdar.

Learned a lot about the city and the history of the city. From the moment we got picked up and the staff on the yacht, they were very passionate and helpful. They genuinely cared about ensuring we had the best experience possible. You won't regret it!
High quality service! Smooth timely pickup from hotel, easy boarding onto the boat, super knowledgeable and friendly guide. We added Turkish traditional dinner to our experience: the boat stopped for 2 mins to pick up our food from a restaurant under the bridge. We had a great time!
If you are visiting Istanbul, definitely should book this activity. The entire journey has been fantastic and team effort with professionalism. The crew was incredibly friendly and there were plenty of tasty snacks and drinks. The crew explanations of the landscape were great and we finished off with a stunning sunset.
