📖

Full description

This yacht cruise lasts about 2.5 hours and passes waterfront palaces, mosques, mansions, bridges and Rumeli Fortress, with a guide adding historical context. Unlike a simple sailing, it includes a brief stop at Beylerbeyi or Kanlıca on the Asian side, where guests step ashore to explore independently.

Pastries, snacks, fruit, Turkish coffee with lokum and tea are included, while some packages add alcohol or hotel transfers. Departures run at 10:30 and 14:00.

Reviewers praise knowledgeable guides and a peaceful morning, though some mention late pickups and a less satisfying Asian stop.
