Upon arriving in Istanbul, you will be transferred from the airport to your hotel for check-in. After settling in, get ready for an enchanting experience as you head to the port for your Bosphorus dinner cruise. Set sail along the iconic Bosphorus Strait, admiring illuminated landmarks like Dolmabahçe Palace and Rumeli Fortress shimmering against the night sky. Enjoy a delightful dinner onboard accompanied by live entertainment, including the mesmerizing Whirling Dervish performance, a traditional Sufi art form. After the cruise, you will be comfortably driven back to your hotel for the night.
Embark on a full-day guided tour of Istanbul, beginning at the magnificent Hagia Sophia, celebrated for its breathtaking mosaics and architectural legacy. Continue to the iconic Blue Mosque, famed for its beautiful blue Iznik tiles, before stepping into history at the Hippodrome, once the grand arena for chariot races and imperial ceremonies. Wander through the vibrant Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s largest and oldest covered markets, filled with colorful stalls and traditional crafts. Conclude your journey at Topkapi Palace, the opulent residence of the Ottoman sultans for nearly four centuries, before returning to your hotel for the day.
Today, you will be transferred to the Yenikapi ferry terminal to board a ferry to Yalova Port. Upon reaching Bursa, begin exploring its heritage highlights, including the Grand Mosque, the Green Mosque, and the beautifully crafted Green Mausoleum—each reflecting the city’s deep historical and cultural significance. After lunch, enjoy a scenic cable car ride up Uludag Mountain, taking in sweeping views of Bursa and the stunning surrounding landscapes. Later, you will be driven back to your hotel for the day.
Begin your day trip to the Princes' Islands with a transfer to Kabataş Port, where a scenic ferry ride awaits. Cruise across the Sea of Marmara to Kınalıada, the first stop of the journey, and stroll through its charming streets lined with picturesque Victorian-style homes. Continue by ferry to Büyükada, the largest of the island group, where you can visit the hilltop Aya Yorgi Church for sweeping views of Istanbul and the Marmara Sea or enjoy a leisurely horse-drawn carriage ride around the island. After lunch, return by ferry and get transferred back to your hotel.
Bid farewell to Istanbul as you check out from your hotel and proceed to the airport transfer. Upon reaching Istanbul Airport, complete your formalities and board your flight back home, carrying wonderful memories of your journey.
