Istanbul Shore Excursion: Small-Group Bosphorus Cruise and Istanbul Egyptian Bazaar

Highlights

Leistungen

Ablauf

1. Choose from a morning or afternoon tour, and then start your shore excursion with a pickup from the Port of Istanbul. As you travel through the city, sit back and relax as your onboard guide talks about Istanbul’s Spice Bazaar — your first destination of the tour. One of the city’s most colorful and bustling attractions, the market has operated since the 17th century and remains as popular with locals as it is with visitors. Hop out of your coach and head inside the market while breathing in its heady aromas of fragrant spices and herbs. Hear tips for interesting stalls to visit from your guide, and then enjoy roughly 45 minutes of free time to explore and shop at leisure. After shopping and sightseeing around the famous souk, travel by coach to the banks of the Bosphorus Strait for your cruise. Learn about the famous stretch of water that straddles both the Asian and European continents as you travel, and then board your sightseeing boat for the cruise. Take a seat out on deck or inside the cabin, and cruise past an impressive selection of Istanbul’s showpiece sights. Look out for Dolmabahçe Palace with its decadent façade, 15th-century Rumeli Hisarı Fortress and Beylerbeyi Palace where Ottoman-era sultans spent their summer vacations. Your route takes in sights on both the European and Asian shores and, in addition to Istanbul’s big-name attractions, the cruise also passes some the city’s lesser-known gems: mosques, fortresses, palaces and more. After admiring the sights of the Bosphorus Strait from the water, return to land and finally finish your experience with a port drop-off. Worry-Free Shore Excursion: We will ensure your timely return to the Port of Istanbul for this activity. In the rare event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call. If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded.

About Istanbul

Istanbul liegt am Bosporus in Europa und Asien: byzantinische und osmanische Bauten, lebhafte Basare und Fähren zwischen zwei Kontinenten.

Auf der historischen Halbinsel stehen die größten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Hagia Sophia, Blaue Moschee und Hippodrom liegen sich in Sultanahmet gegenüber, die Basilikazisterne erstreckt sich unter den Straßen, und der Topkapı-Palast breitet sich auf dem Hügel über dem Goldenen Horn aus. Wenige Schritte entfernt sind der Große Basar und der Gewürzbasar seit Jahrhunderten Handelsplätze, und die Süleymaniye-Moschee des großen osmanischen Baumeisters Sinan krönt einen der sieben Hügel der Stadt.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
