Turkey Travel: a Rewarding Journey on the Bosporus Strait Cruise

Ferry terminal near Galata Bridge

The Bosphorus is a scenic and historic waterway. It forms a natural border between Europe and Asia, offering a unique perspective on the city's rich history and vibrant culture.

A typical itinerary for a two-hour Bosporus Strait Cruise ⭐⭐will offer views of the European and Asian shorelines, passing by the waterfront Dolmabahçe Palace, Çiragan Palace, Rumeli Fortress, the Bosphorus Bridge, Anadolu Fortress and Beylerbeyi Palace.[1]
In addition to its natural beauty, the strait is acclaimed for its concentration of Byzantine and Ottoman historic sites, as well as the breathtaking views of the city of Istanbul.

There are now three enormous bridges spanning the Bosphorus strait connecting the continents of Europe and Asia – the 15 July Martyrs Bridge (1973), Fatih Sultan Mehmet (1988), and Yavuz Sultan Selim (2016).
