Overview

Bosphorus, waters that connect two continents, is one of the main reasons you visit Istanbul. This experience will change the way you think of Istanbul, as it brought a sense of familiarity and makes you feel at home.

Having a local breakfast is a great opportunity to start a day in Besiktas. We'll head to Ortakoy by walking through one of the best walking ways in Istanbul. At Ortakoy, one of the most iconic landscapes of the city will be watched by the view of the Bosphorus Bridge, Ortakoy Mosque, Asian Side.

Then we get a local bus to the Arnavutkoy, which is pointed as one of the coolest 40 neighborhoods in the world by Time Out magazine. Walking through the colorful and modern houses by taking Instagrammable photos, feel the atmosphere that you can't find out visiting the tourist sites of Istanbul.

At the end of the tour, we take a ferry from Arnavutkoy pier to Besiktas or a taxi. Transportation and breakfast are not included in the tour price.
