Two Continents, Too Many Marvels Tour

Istanbul Daily Tours

This full day tour includes visits to a historical Spice Market, a contemporary promenade, a pleasant cruise over the Bosphorus and a master piece of Medieval Christian Art.

After our introduction to the Old World’s spice and trading traditions at the Egyptian Spice Market, we will board a public vintage ferry for our cruise over the Bosphorus; first North, following the European shore and then South, following the Asian shore, we will see the city, its planning, architecture, different districts and its faces from the water. At the end of this cruise, we board yet another ferry, this time for a 20-minute commute across the Bosphorus to land in the continent of Asia, in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul. Here we leave tourist crowds behind and see the people of the city in their daily walks of life. Kadikoy Market is a fascinating (and mouthwatering) neighborhood with fish mongers, pastry shops, delis, pickle shops, and restaurants where you can try the same cuisine what the Turks eat. After this experience, we ferry back to Old Town for a detailed visit of Chora. Chora is the house to some of the very best mosaics of Medieval Christian, dating back to the peak of the Byzantine Empire.

This tour is available on any day.
