Détails du forfait
A poet once described the Bosphorus as “God’s beautiful calligraphy written by an ink made of sapphires.”. This strait, separating (and connecting) two continents that form the city, takes its name from a mythological legend. Ever since those ancient times, it has been marveling at people with its beauty. The cruise of the Bosphorus will start at the pier, and while cruising along the Asian and European shores, you will be surprised to see the harmony of Ottoman and modern architecture, as well as having an opportunity to see the major highlights of the city’s fairytale-like skyline from the sea. In addition, a short visit to the Spice Bazaar is the surprise of the tour. In this oriental bazaar, where you experience the vibrant pulse of Istanbul at its best, rare spices, herbs, vegetables, fruits, flowers, and more are available.
