The water does the sightseeing

  1. Kabataş pierEvery departure starts here, on the European side.
  2. Dolmabahçe PalaceThe sultans' waterfront palace, best seen from the sea.
  3. Ortaköy & the bridgeThe mosque under the Bosphorus Bridge — Istanbul's most photographed corner.
  4. Rumeli HisarıWhere the boat holds position while the sun goes down.
  5. Maiden's TowerThe return leg, with the city lit behind it.

Typical route for Bosphorus cruises. Private charters sail wherever you like, and the captain adjusts for weather.
