Description
One of the unique things about Istanbul is the fact the city spans two Continents and this is an opportunity to explore both sides, which is separated by the Bosphorous River. On the first day you will be taken to the more famous historical landmarks on the European side including the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. After lunch this will be followed by the St Sophia Church and the Grand Bazaar. On your second day we you will sail along part of the Bosphorous where you can admire many of the old palaces which are sitting alongside some of Istanbul’s more modern residences. The highlight of the day will be the two minute crossing from Europe to Asia and finishing up on the Camlica Hill, which offers the best views of Istanbul and the Bosphorous.
