Itinerary

Day 1

Bosphorus and Discover Two continents Istanbul

On the day of your excursion, a comfortable bus will pick you up from your hotel in the morning. The bus will drive you towards the starting point of our excursion. During this experience, a tour guide will be with you to guide you through the monuments and explain interesting facts about the places of interest and the city’s history.
The first stop will be made at the infamous Spice Bazaar. Also known as the Egyptian Bazaar this location offers you a first-class opportunity to exercise your bargaining skills. There, you will spend 45 minutes strolling around the bazaar. During this time, you may observe an incredible variety of spices and understand the culinary tradition of Turkey.
Then, accompanied by your tour guide, you will enjoy a cruise in the Bosporus between two continents. During the cruise, you can observe the spectacular Ottoman villas on the sides of the Bosporus and admire their distinct architectural design. In addition, you will be able to see some notable monuments such as the Ciragin Kempinski, the Dolmabahce Palace, and the Leander’s Tower. The cruise has an approximate duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes.
By the end of the cruise, you will be transferred to a local restaurant for a lunch break. This is the perfect time to get energized and relax for a while before reaching the Asian side of the city.
A fully air-conditioned bus will drive you towards Asia by passing through the imposing suspended Bosporus Bridge. Driving between two continents will also be a great experience as you can enjoy magnificent views. According to the schedule, the first stop on the Asian side will take place at the Beylerbeyi Palace Museum. During the period of the Ottoman Empire, this place was used as the summer mansion of the sultans. Nowadays, it hosts a great museum that maintains the Ottoman decoration and demonstrates the Ottoman architecture.
The last stop of this excursion will take place at Camlica Hill. This is the highest point of Istanbul and the perfect point to enjoy some spectacular panoramic views over the city. Do not miss the chance to snap some photos of two continents. The bus will then transfer you back to the European side. Return to your hotel is expected during the afternoon.
