Bosphorus River cruise

Bosphorus River cruise

As you leave the Istanbul harbour, there are great views of Topkapi, the old fortifications around Istanbul, the numerous mosques throughout the city and Dolmabahce Palace. You'll make a quick stop at the little town of Kanlica where vendors come on to sell their famous rich & creamy yogurt. They'll sweeten it with powdered sugar if you want, and it comes in individual-sized containers (they'll provide you with a plastic spoon). At Anadolu Kavagi, you stop for a few hours and there are lots of restaurants and cafes in which to enjoy a meal. If you don't want to hike up to the fortress, get a taxi to take you to the top to enjoy the view. Our boat trip lasted 6 hours. There are also shorter trips that stay closer to Istanbul.
