FDT - 2 Bosphorus Cruise & Two Continents
Full Day Tour
We start the tour with a visit to the colourful 17th century Spice Bazaar and its surroundings. The narrow streets lined with shops here beautifully emphasize the atmosphere of old Istanbul. Enjoy the delightful aromas of the fresh coffee, herbs and spices, to see the dazzling mixture of nuts, dried fruits, a thousand varieties of Turkish delights and all being sold as they have been for hundreds of years.
We then take the Bosphorus Cruise, through the waterway separating the two continents, Europe and Asia, with a possibility to take photographs of marble palaces, ancient wooden villas of Ottoman architecture besides modern residentials and luxurious apartments. This is a relaxing way to take in some major landmarks including the magnificent Dolmabahce Palace, the Bosphorus Suspension Bridge and the imposing waterfront villas of Istanbul.
Lunch at a Turkish Fish Restaurant
In the afternoon, visit the Dolmabahce Palace, a fitting symbol of the magnificence and decadence of the 19th-century Ottoman Empire. It's just as a sultan's palace should be: huge and sumptuous, with 285 rooms, 43 large salons, a 4000 kg Bohemian glass chandelier, and a Bosphorus-shore façade nearly a quarter mile long. It's the grandest of Ottoman imperial palaces
Then drive across the Bosphorus Bridge, unique chance to step from one continent (Europe) to another (Asia) in 2 minutes.
Visit Camlica Hill for afternoon tea, exposing a magnificient panoramic view of Istanbul and the Bosphorus.
USD 90- per person.
