Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Experience the timeless beauty of Istanbul as twilight paints the city in golden and rose hues during this panoramic evening excursion that combines a Bosphorus cruise with a visit to the Çamlica Radio Tower.
Bosphorus Cruise
Depart the pier and enjoy a gentle walk to the nearby pier where your Bosphorus boat awaits. Step aboard and settle into the comfortable, covered deck for a scenic cruise along the legendary strait that separates Europe and Asia. As you glide past ornate Ottoman palaces, graceful wooden mansions, and grand bridges, sip a glass of wine or a refreshing soft drink, complemented by light snacks served on board. Capture the city’s most iconic landmarks bathed in the soft light of sunset — a serene moment framed by the meeting of two continents.
Çamlica Radio Tower
After disembarking, continue by midibus to the Çamlica Radio Tower, a striking modern structure rising above Istanbul’s historic skyline. Take the panoramic elevator to the observation deck and marvel at breathtaking 360-degree views stretching from the Golden Horn to the Princes’ Islands. As evening descends, the glow of the city’s mosques, bridges, and waterfronts creates an unforgettable spectacle of light and reflection.
At the end of your experience, relax and enjoy a comfortable drive back to the pier.
