Sailing Between Two Worlds on a Bosphorus Cruise

#holidayitinerary Taking a Bosphorus cruise was such a chill and scenic way to see Istanbul from a whole new angle. The boat ride was super smooth and relaxing, and the views were absolutely amazing the entire way. On one side you’ve got Europe, on the other side Asia, and it’s just so cool cruising right between them. The coastline is full of beautiful spots like palaces, old wooden houses, fancy mansions, and mosques, all passing by slowly while you just sit back and enjoy.

I did the regular daytime cruise and it was perfect with the breeze and the sun, but I’ve heard the sunset cruises are also stunning. There’s usually tea or snacks available on board too which adds to the chill vibe. It didn’t feel too crowded and was really affordable for what you get. Whether you’re into photos, relaxing, or just seeing more of the city in a unique way, the Bosphorus cruise is definitely a must do.
