15 Best Bosphorus Cruises

The Bosphorus cruises I would book again, from quick loops to full-length strait runs. A standard circuit leaves Eminönü and takes about ninety minutes, passing Dolmabahçe Palace and the Rumeli fortress. Sunset departures sell out first in summer, so book a day or two ahead.
