Break away from the hectic pace of Istanbul’s city center with a half-day leisurely lunch cruise of the Bosphorus Strait. Set sail towards the Black Sea and discover the town of Beykoz on the Asian coast.

Step aboard a leisure boat, shrug off your concerns, and indulge in a tranquil half-day sail along the Bosphorus Strait. Gaze at the sight of beautiful Ottoman-period mansions and the city’s mosque minarets as you indulge in a lunch of grilled chicken and traditional meze platters.

Take a leisurely walk on the deck and soak in the sun while admiring the many renowned landmarks dotting both shores, such as the Galata Tower and the massive Bosphorus Bridge, the linking point of Asia and Europe.

We were impressed - Last August we were so lucky to have a great day on Bosphorous cruise. We booked a tour in advance. The service was great, we were met and placed . During the tour we contemplated the incredible views of the beautiful city with a cup of tea and delicious Turkish dishes. We were really impressed. Next time will repeat it with pleasure. Recommend to all

Not what you’re expecting - Ah man where do I start. Food was horrible. Tour was interesting when you could hear it. Had to sit with strangers for lunch. I’d recommend getting a private tour if you’d like to explore the Bosphorus. The fishing village 2 hours down river was cool, but you get like 20 minutes enjoy it. We were over this tour after the first hour of a four and a half hour experience.
