Having been in Istanbul, it is worth taking a boat ride along the Bosphorus. Take a look at the city from a different angle and see places accessible to the view from the water. Swim under the bridges over the strait. Be sure to flip a coin while swimming under the bridge. The wife was worried that she would be sick, but everything was OK, it went smoothly. We landed on the pier near the spice market.

The Bosphorus is what makes Istanbul Istanbul. Huge, powerful, exciting. Wherever you find yourself, at first you come closer to the water and look spellbound. You can look at the Bosphorus for a long time. The best panoramic view of the Bosphorus, in my opinion, is from the park on the Ç amlı ca Hill, on the Asian side of Istanbul. And definitely at sunset!

One of the most pleasant tourist "attractions" is a boat trip along the Bosphorus. On the advice of local residents, we boarded a capacious boat of the company "TURYOL", which departs from the Eminonu pier. This is on the left side of the Galata Bridge, if you enter it from the side of the Spice Bazaar. The boats depart every half an hour, the duration of the tour is one and a half hours, the cost is about $4. A wonderful, relaxing trip that allows you to appreciate the impressive size of the metropolis, as well as take a closer look at the magnificent Istanbul bridges and charming fishing boats of various colors and sizes.
