Highlights

Bosphorus Strait - “This beautiful strait, sometimes spelled Bosporus and sometimes Bosphorus, was so called from the earliest ages by the ancients; from the mythology of 10, the mistress of Jupiter, having passed over it in the shape of a cow. It resembles the Dardanelles, in length, breadth and current, and like it, is a narrow separation which divides Europe from Asia; but it has many features familiar to itself. Instead of being a solitary stream running between deserted shores, it is a body of water full of life and animation, winding its way through banks covered with palaces and villages, shaded with magnificent forest trees, presenting to the eye, at every mile, a new scene of crowded existence.”

Loved the sunset cruise !! - The cruise was amazing ! Yacht wasn’t too crowded, the crew took care of us continuously with snacks and drinks. The views of sunset was marvelous and the sheer beauty of Istanbul was visible with the Bosphorus Sunset Cruise organized by Velena travel. Thank you so much for making it memorable for us as a family.

Perfect way to see the Istanbul by water - Great for guide, the yacht was really nice and clean. They provided a few snacks as well. We went at sunset and it was perfectly timed. Much better than the more crowded but cheaper tours.
