Meet you at your place in Istanbul and then head for the district of Eminonu, where we will set out for the Bosphorus Cruise, departing at 11.00am with Turyol Ferry Lines, a public ferry line, one of the best for a round-trip, non-stop cruise in 1.5 hours. Turyol boats depart more frequently than other traditional Bosphorus Tour ferries. The 1.5-hour Turyol tour costs TL10 in 2010, and brings you right back to the Galata Bridge. (The traditional ferry lines make several dock stops along its route, and takes 6 hours for the round-trip voyage). Before the Bosphorus Cruise, we will have a cultural insight to the Spice Bazaar, an oriental dream box for the spices and sun dried nuts, and then Rustem Pasha Mosque, a small grandeur Ottoman architecture. Back to the meeting place
