[2024 Istanbul Attraction] Travel Guide for Bosphorus (Updated Dec)

I fell in love with the charming city of Türkiye. 🇹🇷

#TravelEurope I've fallen in love with Turkey, the city of charm. 🇹🇷 A city of architecture that combines two poles of culture. A city with many beautiful photo spots, kind people, and fat cats that cat lovers must love. Take a boat trip to see the magnificent view of the Bosphorus Strait. Go up in a balloon to see the cool view in Cappadocia. Experience the amazing hot springs in Pamukkale. See the ruins of ancient civilizations in the ancient city of Ephesus. Finally, try the steak of the famous salt-sprinkled legend Saltbae in Istanbul. As for traveling between cities in Turkey, we recommend taking a domestic flight. You may spend a little more money, but you don't have to sit in the car for many hours. Because each city that is a main tourist attraction is quite far from each other! Overall, Turkey is another country that we have fallen in love with. With many beautiful tourist attractions, kind and friendly people, cool weather, and fat cats in every city, all of these make Turkey another country that is charming and we want everyone to come and experience it. #100WaysToTravel #Turkey #Istanbul #Cappadocia #Pamukkale

Turkey - Istanbul (1) (Kaymak, Galata Tower, Galata Bridge)

Turkey is definitely one of the best travel destinations. Istanbul Part 1~~! You must have Kaymak as your first meal in the morning. Menemen as a side dish, haha. There are many hills, so walking can be inconvenient, but you have to walk to see Istanbul properly, so I highly recommend wearing sneakers. You can take pictures at Galata Tower and see many people fishing at Galata Bridge, haha. The color of the Bosphorus Strait is really deep blue, haha.

Napoleon once said, "If the world were a single country, its capital would have to be Istanbul

" Napoleon once said, "If the world were a single country, its capital would have to be Istanbul." Istanbul is bordered by the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It is the largest city in Turkey. If you want to see the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, coming directly to Istanbul is definitely the right choice. The sunset over the Bosphorus Strait will surely captivate you. This place is filled with passionate romance. You definitely won't miss it.

Europe to Asia-Crossing the Bosphorus ⛴️

#wecreate One of the must do when visiting the heart of Türkiye. I have never felt like I’m in a movie when taking any ferry ride in other places. But taking the ferry ride crossing from the European to Asian side of Istanbul is a memorable experience for me. The ferry just cost within 6 lira (one way) for around 15 minutes if you’re taking the ferry from Eminonu (European side) to Uskudar (Asian side). I went around 4pm and visited Maiden’s Tower which about 15 minutes walk. After visited Maiden’s tower I head back to the ferry port. Before heading back to Eminonu I decided to enjoy some dessert and hot chocolate in a cafe nearby the ferry station and it’s so worth it. I head back around 6pm. There’s also busker onboard the ferry playing local Turkish songs with flute and guitar while I enjoy the sunset sky overviewing both sides of Istanbul. First timer tips to Istanbul: Stay in the European side of Istanbul so that you will be near to any attractions / if you join any join in tour the pickup is available. Plus most local that is in Europe side able to speak/understand English so its convenient for you in case you need help to go around or buy something from the shop.

The narrow channel of the Bosphorus allocates two cities of Turkey and two continents, both Asia and Europe. We took a night voyage to rejoice in this unforgettable geographical strait.

Roaming the Kingdom of Stars and Moon｜Istanbul｜The Strait Across Europe and Asia⠀

🇹🇷Roaming the Kingdom of Stars and Moon｜Istanbul｜The Strait Across Europe and Asia⠀ ⠀ What makes Türkiye so charming, in addition to its mosques, is also the Bosphorus. ⠀ ·⠀ The Bosporus Strait divides Turkey into Europe and Asia. The best way to experience Blue Turkey is by taking a river cruise! There are three types of Strait Tours: short-term, long-term and sunset. At that time, I chose the short-term cruise. Although it was a short-term cruise, the whole trip lasted up to 2 hours, but the price was only $20TL per person (approximately HK$26), which once again proved that prices in Turkey are indeed quite affordable. ⠀ ·⠀ I still remember that I was very excited when I first got on the boat. When I looked at the surrounding scenery at sea, it was completely different from what I had seen on land before. Turkey is such a charming and changeable country. ⠀ ·⠀ On the third day in Istanbul, the itinerary was quite rich. After running around for a whole day, being able to enjoy the sea breeze and look at the sea in the evening is one of the moments that I come back to again and again. ⠀ ✁………………………………………………………………⠀ #angeljourni #小小Point Crusoe⠀ #Turkish #AttractionsPhotographyGuide #ThemostTravelExperience⠀ 20190516 | Istanbul | Day3

Near the old city of Grand Bazaar, on both sides of the Bosphorus, corn chestnuts can be seen everywhere. Trams and buses criss-cross, all black-wrapped Muslims and trendy Turkish girls come and go, many people are rushing to the bus, and many people are running along the pier to reach the other side of the strait.  There are many people fishing on the shore, for sustenance and as a pastime. They throw bait towards the raging currents, and wait for the fish to hook. Whenever we walk past them, the anglers are willing to show us the fish they caught.

A fantastic Cruise experience

The bosphorus is the lifeline of everything in Istanbul. It is practically part of most tourist sights and you are never away from it. You experience it from different corners of the city and it is one of the elements that add to a serene vibe. I have come to become fond of it over my stays in Istanbul. One of the best ways of exploring the beauty of the Bosphorous is via one of the cruises. While you will not be short of options when it comes to these tours. You want to be careful with what you pick. This is an experience that can accentuate with the right cruise. I have done both day time and night time cruises. The night ones include music, performances and dinner. It can be noisy for some but very lively. While the day time cruises are more quiet and serene. They allow you to observe the city of Istanbul. Around the eminonu pier you will find many options. But you are also likely to fall into a tourist trap, overpay for poor quality cruises. Put some research in and seek a quality experience with limited people and good ratings. #myhiddengems #bosphorus #summerdestinations #bosphoruscruise #istanbul #100waysoftravel
