Description

Join an unforgettable journey through Istanbul’s vibrant contrasts. Your adventure begins with a scenic walk to the ferry station, where your guide will take care of your ticket for the ride across the Bosphorus. As you sail to Kadıköy, soak in breathtaking panoramic views of the city's historic skyline. Snap incredible photos of iconic landmarks like the Galata Tower, Golden Horn, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Maiden’s Tower, all framed by the shimmering waters of the Bosphorus. Upon arrival, step into the heart of local life in Kadıköy, a district rich with history, culture, and hidden gems.

Stroll along charming backstreets, from antique-filled alleys to buzzing bar-lined avenues, a nostalgic tramway, and the enchanting umbrella street. Discover Istanbul beyond the tourist trails—visit tucked-away teahouses, explore lesser-known art streets, and experience the city’s unique blend of European and Asian influences. Your guide, a true local, will introduce you to the best street food spots, cozy cafés, and vibrant markets.
