Sea & Land Bosphorus Cruise 🇹🇷

I booked my ticket online on Trip.com two days before the cruise. On the day of the trip, I arrived about 30 minutes early and checked in at their office. From there, our group was taken to the yacht parking area, where we boarded a two-level boat for a 2-hour cruise along the Bosphorus.

The weather turned cloudy and gloomy just as we set off, and the wind made it feel a little chilly. The boat had an audio guide available in several languages (English, Spanish, French, Russian), which made it easy to follow along with the history of the landmarks.

Although the cruise was beautiful, I did find myself getting a bit cold and even a little bored at times since 2 hours is quite long if you’re not used to boat rides. Thankfully, on the way back, the sun came out, the views looked brighter, and the ride felt more enjoyable.

Overall, it was a pleasant and affordable experience a great way to see the famous Bosphorus from the water and admire the city from a different perspective.
