An unforgettable day awaits you in the heart of history, by the sea!
During our day trip to Istanbul, we will explore the most magnificent palaces that carry the traces of the Ottomans, take a journey through time in the captivating atmosphere of the underground, and enjoy a pleasant boat tour in the unique panorama of the Bosporus.
Our first stop is the Basilica Cistern, which has survived from Byzantium to the present day. In this mesmerizing structure with its silence and grandeur, we witness the mysterious story of the Medusa heads.
Next, we visit Topkapi Palace, the heart of the Ottoman Empire. We will embark on a journey through history while exploring the living quarters of the sultans, the sacred relics, and the palace gardens.
Afterward, we proceed to Dolmabahçe Palace, where we admire the splendor of this magnificent structure, blended with Western architecture, and the rooms where Atatürk spent his final days.
After a short break by the Bosporus, we embark on our Bosporus tour with our boat. Witness Istanbul's silhouette from the sea, accompanied by the bridges connecting the European and Asian sides, historical mansions, and the Maiden's Tower.
Following the Bosporus tour, we turn our course to the Asian Side and visit Beylerbeyi Palace. This elegant structure, used as the Ottoman summer palace, stands as one of the pearls of the Bosporus.
At the end of this special day filled with history and sea breezes, we begin our return journey.
NOTE: Depending on road congestion, traffic, fog, and weather conditions, our arrival time in Erdek may be later than planned. A specific time for the return cannot be given; an approximate time will be provided based on the program flow.
