Bosphorus Holidays

Linking the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, the mighty Bosphorus Strait swells with force – a legendary body of water that has seen centuries of nautical action. Today, it’s a thriving hub of commuters, tourists, fishermen and industrial goings-on, with Europe on one side and Asia on the other. Climb aboard a boat during your Bosphorus holidays for a showreel of its hectic pace. Tick off the minarets of the Blue Mosque, the former St. Sophia, the Topkapi silhouette and elegant palaces built by the super-rich and sultans of Istanbul. You’ll also spot crowds of bobbing fishermen, ferries connecting the two banks, and huge cargo ships traversing the two seas.
