After breakfast, our driver will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to the Eminonu Pier, where we will board a Bosphorus ferry for a 1.5-hour breathtaking cruise along the Bosphorus strait, which runs through Istanbul and connects the Asia and Europe continents.
Our knowledgeable local guide informs us about various Ottoman mansions, historic fortifications, suspension continental bridges, and affluent beach communities with traditional Ottoman architecture that we see along the coast.
Then have a guided tour of the colorful Spice Market from the 17th century, where we can smell and taste numerous herbs and Turkish treats. If time allows, we will make a brief stop at an Istanbul leather wholesaler company.
Then, return to your hotel. Overnight in Istanbul.
Meals: Breakfast and lunch.
