Ideas for Istanbul
Boating in Istanbul
In Istanbul you cruise the Bosphorus, the strait between Europe and Asia, lined with palaces, fortresses and wooden waterside mansions. Most trips run up the strait and back, often at sunset, while a longer day can head out to the Princes’ Islands in the Sea of Marmara.
Where to go by boat
Dolmabahçe Palace
Ornate Ottoman palace with a long marble façade on the European shore.
Rumeli Hisarı
15th-century fortress climbing the hillside at the strait’s narrowest point.
Maiden’s Tower
Small tower on an islet off Üsküdar, on the Asian side.
Princes’ Islands
Car-free islands in the Sea of Marmara, with Büyükada the largest.
Tip: The Bosphorus has a strong southward surface current and very heavy traffic, from tankers to ferries crossing constantly, so stay out of the shipping lanes and leave the navigation to an experienced skipper.
