Istanbul Bosphorus Sunset Cruise with Wine on a Luxury Yacht
Overview
The Bosphorus Sunset Cruise is a 2-hour guided experience aboard a luxury yacht along the Bosphorus. Accompanied by a professional guide, you will discover the history and stories of Istanbul’s iconic landmarks on both the European and Asian sides of the city. With a bit of luck, you may even spot dolphins along the way.
