Afternoon Bosphorus Cruise Along the Shore

Take in the breathtaking views of Istanbul's fairy-tale skyline from the water on a 4-hour afternoon cruise along the Bosphorus. As you glide along the strait, take in the ancient and modern sites that line both sides of the Bosphorus. Spot elegant homes on the shoreline, Ottoman fortifications, and the neighborhoods of Ortaköy, Bebek, and Beşiktaş. Take in the deep bays and rambling palaces, and watch as slender minarets and soaring domes drift by. Finally, hear the ancient legends about Kizkulesi, a Byzantine lighthouse on a tiny Bosphorus islet.
