A little history of the sights:
City Walls & Golden Horn (from the bus): The arm of the Bosphorus and a natural harbour of the historical peninsula separating the old and the new parts of İstanbul where the first colonies settled during the Byzantine. The residential area for Byzantine Jews, Italian traders and other non-muslim minorities. Drive along the traces of history at Balat viewing Metal Church of St. Stephen the Bulgarian, 21 kms. long City Walls, the strongest fortification of the middle age.

    Me and My wife ,we both wanted to share with you to our amazing Bosphorus boat trip in Istanbul Turkey. The travel company picked us from our hotel approximately 13:30 and after 20 minutes transportation we pass through the golden horn and arrive Piyer Loti hill .We directly get on the included Cable car.It wasnt take lomg time but we like it much.After that our bus took us to beginning point of Boat cruise than boat leaves from the port and our journey start on the journey our guide gave us all the neccesary information about almost each important buildings and the known spots.On the way back we were lucky because coincidentaly we have seen a small group of dolphin.They were so cute and friendly. it takes total 2 hours to arrive our beginning point.It was absolutely speecless and breathtaking journey .After we get off from the boat our transportation was waiting for bring us back to our Hotels.ın the final i ve got a amazing day with this Trip.

    İf you are making to holiday plans in a different country my suggestion is add to Bosphorus Cruise in Istanbul to your tour itinerary.Because you might not miss this experience .Because almost all tour companies are organising this trip and its cost very reasonable price too.The tour has two types.One of them is starting in the morning , the other one is in the afternoon.when i visit to istanbul last time, ı have join to Afternoon tour as usual.Because it is my favorite which i have great fun always.its giving you chance to see the Golden Horn area at the beginning and the City walls, than you are joining to delightfull Cable car experience and in the final you are joining to Bosphorus boat cruise almost 2 non stop. Which is the best way to see some of the most important part of the beautifull city of Istanbul.
