Bosphorus

What people say

Batzaya Struble
"If you love a transient view of the ocean and the city that joins in, the Bosphorus Strait must be one of the best tourist places in Istanbul for you. With an inland canal filled with ferries and a Turkey flag hoisted on all of them, you instantly feel a vibrant charm that gets further catalyzed by the crystal-clear blue water, fueled further by the prominent billing Hollywood star feeling that you’ll have when you cross the place on a private boat tour."

"The Bosphorus Strait is the heart of Istanbul, offering scenic cruises that showcase the city's unique blend of European and Asian influences. It's a perfect way to take in the stunning waterfront sights."
