Full-Day Private Bosphorus Boat Riding.

To sail through Bosphorus by private yacht/boat will give you an idea of how big this amazing city is. Imagine that you will sail through the most important and strategic natural water strait in the world. Sailing by boat will point you the hills where Istanbul was established on. Remember that Istanbul was established on 7 hills as Rome was. You will see Süleymaniye Mosque, Galata Tower, Maiden's Tower, Dolmabahce Palace and more from the boat while sailing through. You will have the chance to see the beautiful ''yalı'' (waterside private house) dating back to 16th-19th centuries while sailing. Legends about those houses are still alive by the locals. Who doesn't want to learn those? I'm the best storyteller. We are going to combine this tour with local attractions by visiting a local site, called "Kadikoy" (ancient Khalkedon). We'll experience a local public ferry to go to Kadikoy. Enjoy the local life of Turkish people by merging with them with me as your captain.

After meeting you, we will start to sail through Bosphorus for about 2 hours by private boat. Then we'll change the pier to take the public ferry to go to the local neighborhood'' Kadiköy '' in the Asian part of Istanbul. After walking around the site for about 1 hour, we'll have a lunch break where you will be able to taste the most delicious samples of Turkish cuisine at a famous local restaurant. Then head back to the pier again to take the public boat back to Europe to experience and smell the ''Spice Market '' with its amazing spices, Turkish delights, nuts, dried fruits, and more. End the tour by visiting Rustem Pasha Mosque where you'll see the best Iznik tiles ever. * Bosphorus cruise by private yacht * Local neighborhood of Kadıköy * Spice Market * Rustem Pasha Mosque * Lunch in Kadiköy * Public ferry to Kadikoy (round trip). ** Please keep in mind that this is a suggested itinerary.
