Enjoy this special Bosphorus Tour on the bus and on a private boat. Discover the magic of Istanbul and its hidden treasures between Europe and Asia.
The tour starts at the Golden Horn (from the bus), the arm of the Bosphorus and natural harbour of the historical peninsula separating the old and the new parts of ?stanbul where the first colonies settled during the Byzantines. The residential area for Byzantine Jews, Italian traders and other non-muslim minorities. Afterwards you'll drive along the traces of history at Balat viewing Metal Church of St. Stephen the Bulgarian, Jewish Hospital (Or-Ahayim), Fener Orthodox Patriarchate and 22 km long
Byzantine City Walls, strongest fortification of the middle age. Enrich your senses at the Spice Bazaar (Egyptian Bazaar), where mystical smells of different aromas of various spices will caress your senses. Take a lot at the many shops selling fruits, vegetables, fish, flowers and a lot more.
The second part of the tour will bring you on a Bosphorus Cruise on a private boat. You'll ride through the waterway separating the two continents, Europe and Asia, with a possibility to take photographs of marble palaces, ancient wooden villas of Ottoman architecture besides modern residentials and luxurious apartments.
You'll also enjoy a view of Rumeli Fortress from the boat, historical armament built by the Conqueror to control and protect the Bosphorus. A unique example of military architecture. If there's enough time the tour will bring you to a visit a leather showroom.
