Istanbul Evening Sunset Cruise on Regular Boat
Admire Istanbul’s amazing waterfront landmarks while witnessing the enchantment on this sunset cruise along the beautiful Bosphorus.
There are few places in the world as mesmerizing as Istanbul in the setting sun, and a visit to the city is incomplete without this experience! When dusk sets in, a soothing breeze arrives from the Sea of Marmara and the sky over the city puts on a colorful show, tinted with shades of orange and rose.
From on board you will pass Dolmabahce Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, the Bosphorus Bridg, Cıragan Palace, as well as palaces and villas and much more.
We hope you have a wonderful experience with unforgettable memories and photographs that you will keep for a lifetime.
The pier is located across Kabatas tram station, close by Dolmbahce Palace. Look for the boat behind the red petrol station. We recommend using public transport to get to the pier.
