Our tour starts around 9.00 in the morning in TAKSIM SQUARE. ISTIKLAL(Indipendence) AVENUE is surrounded by late Ottoman era buildings. Historical consulate buidings (former embassies before 1923) of several nations including France, Greece, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom are lined alongside the street. 

Galata Tower will give us a panoramic view of the Old City, Golden Horn and Bosphorus. Here you can take photos and if you fell like you can enjoy a Turkish coffee or tea.

We can have our lunch in a Restaurant offering Turkish Cuisine but better than this to have HISTORIC FISH-BREAD in Eminönü (At the stall the fish (mackerel) is directly grilled on the boat and then put in a half-bread together with some salad and onions.) Great fast food, just sit on a stool and enjoy the taste.

At 2.30 pm. we will get on the CRUISE from Eminönü and sail along side the shores of the Bosphorus. After Mid 19th century Ottoman Empire has been ruled from the İmperial Palaces built along side the shores of this water way. DOLMABAHCE PALACE and CIRAGAN PALACE located on the European shore while summer palace BEYLERBEYI on Asia. Architecture of 18th and19th century YALI's (waterside wodden Ottoman Houses) will attract our attention. Having tea on the cruise is a pleasure.
