The Bosphorus sights, narrated and unhurried, from a private yacht. Dolmabahçe, Beylerbeyi and Küçüksu palaces, the Rumeli and Anadolu fortresses, three bridges and the yalı mansions — at the pace you set.
A sightseeing cruise takes in the landmarks that line both shores of the Bosphorus, European and Asian: the grand Ottoman palaces at the water's edge, the medieval fortresses that once guarded the strait, the Ortaköy and Bebek waterfronts, and the long wooden yalı houses built for the old Istanbul families. Because you are private, the captain slows for the ones you want to photograph.
Push all the way to the second bridge and the Black Sea mouth, or keep to the palaces of the lower strait — the route is yours. It is the most complete way to understand the city that grew up on both sides of this water.
First-time visitors and anyone who wants to see the Bosphorus landmarks properly.
Dolmabahçe, Beylerbeyi and Küçüksu palaces, the Rumeli and Anadolu fortresses, Ortaköy mosque, the three Bosphorus bridges and the historic yalı mansions — depending on how far up you choose to go.
As far as you like within the time — up to the second bridge and the villages near the Black Sea, or a shorter loop of the palaces.
