15 Evening Experiences in Turkey, Compared and Priced

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 14,430 reviews · 2 hours · from $8Our pick

Two hours on a Bosphorus mega yacht with an audio guide, unlimited drinks, and optional dinner, ideal for classic sunset views.

“The overall cruise experience was awesome, travelled about an hour each way, got to see a different view of the major buildings, voice over (english) would speak a little about each building as we got close to it. Free tea and coffee on the boat, food was offered too but I didnt eat anything. I saw other people have drinks too. There was seating inside and outside, 3 levels for the outside and 2 for the inside with good views wherever you were seated. It was a good experience, if you are in Istanbul for a short time or want to get your bearings.”
