Itinerary

Climb aboard a pleasure boat and forget your worries as you enjoy a relaxing half-day cruise down the Bosphorus Strait. Marvel at the views of beautiful Ottoman-era mansions and the minarets of the city mosques as you sit down to a lunch of grilled chicken and typical meze dishes. Go for a stroll on deck to soak up the sun and see the many famous sights that line both coastlines, such as Galata Tower and the immense Bosphorus Bridge that connects Asia and Europe. Sail to the Black Sea, and then make your way to the small coastal town of Anadolu Kavagi. Drop anchor and enjoy a walk in the lush hills of the surrounding area. See the ruins of a medieval fortress and other landmarks before the cruise back to Istanbul in the late afternoon.

The cruise was delayed by well over an hours and the boat was in a poor condition. No safety briefing provided and the sound equipment was terrible. The guide tried his best to ensure all guests were (Read More)enjoying the cruise, but the odds were against him. We did appreciate the guide’s assistance in taking us to the tram station as we needed to be at our next appointment within 30 minutes. His directions were clear and we made it.

The beach on the Black Sea was disappointing. It was very dirty and very crowded.

It was entirely pleasant - but it does not go to the Black Sea, despite the title, as someone else below also mentions. Very frustrating since I did not read through the reviews before booking. It was (Read More) mellow, the guide was difficult to hear between his accent, voice tone, and the volume of the speakers. Our one landing spot was painfully tourist oriented and not at all the charming town whose photos are used.
