The Bosphorus Cruise Tour

One of Istanbul’s Most Memorable and Popular Attractions

The Bosphorus Cruise Tour is one of Istanbul’s most unforgettable and appealing tourist experiences, especially popular among Iranians.

The cruises vary in size and style, with larger, more spacious boats offering the widest range of entertainment and activities.
