Istanbul Bosphorus Sunset Cruise on Luxury Yacht

5.Istanbul Bosphorus Sunset Cruise on Luxury Yacht

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,465 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $30Top rated

Cruise from Kabataş on a small yacht past Ottoman palaces, waterfront neighborhoods, bridges, fortresses, and the Maiden’s Tower. Your guide explains the sights while the crew serves tea, coffee, lemonade, fruit, baklava, and cookies. Indoor and outdoor seating, a restroom, and a maximum of 40 people make this a relaxed way to see both sides of Istanbul at sunset.

“I really enjoyed the cruise, even though sunset was just at the end due to the time of year (July). The commentary provided was excellent (and better than a city tour I had taken earlier - and paid more for), and the snacks and drinks were a welcome addition. I'd recommend sitting on the left-hand side of the boat (in the direction of travel) as ALL the sights are on that side of the boat, and we had taken seats on the other side :( Still, I'd recommend this experience as it was an enjoyable and memorable couple of hours. Oh, and get to the meeting point when they suggest.…”
