Cruise The Bosphorus In A Private Boat (2 hours)
Istanbul
You will transfer to your private motor yacht for an exciting and entertaing cruise on the Bosphorus Strait.
This cruise includes excellent waterside views of Ottoman palaces and many beautiful wooden yalis (seaside villas) that have remained in situ since 19th and the early 20th centuries.
You will also be in a privileged position to see surviving mansions and lavish modern villas. A special delight of this cruise is the Beylerbeyi Summer Palace, just tnorth of the Bosporous Bridge, with its elegant waterfront setting. This palace was begun in the 1830 and was eventually reserved for the use of visiting heads of state, or high ranking visitors such as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
On your trip you will have an opportunity to savour just how Istanbul life has for millenia centred itself upon and around the romance and magic of this bustling natural shipping lane.
