[2025 Istanbul ] Travel Guide for Bosphorus Lines (Updated May)

#wecreate We opted to use the Sehir Hatlari boats which do have 2 routes that can appeal to tourists. One is the Golden Horn route which leaves from Eyup and you can get off either at the end or we suggest Karakoy. For us this worked great as we just came back from visiting Chora Church and the pier was 15 min. walking distance. The other one (which is what we did also) is if you want to have a Bosphorus cruise per se, we suggest you take the following route: Eminönü-Sarıyer/Rumeli Kavağı. The boat will only make stops on the European side and you can see all the major landmarks of Istanbul. #TravelIstanbul #MustVisit #BreathtakingViews #CulturalExperience #CityofWonders

Beautiful sunset 🌅 on Bosphorus Sea looking at Istanbul from Anatolia.

Come aboard an elegant luxury yacht for a beautiful cruise along the Bosphorus Strait where you can enjoy sightseeing at the most beautiful time of day-sunset in Istanbul. Coast along as you spot out Ortakoy, Bebek, Rumeli Fortress, Maiden's Tower and Bosphorus Bridges.
