per person

Bosphorus tours, which are most preferred by those who want to explore Istanbul, are like a fairy tale. You can be a part of a wonderful experience with your loved ones along the coastline with the Bosphorus tours that reveal the reflections of Istanbul’s history from the past to the present, and you can find the opportunity to watch Istanbul from the most beautiful points with the seagulls on the unique location of the Bosphorus, which has not been shared since ancient times. The Bosporus, which separates Asia and Europe like a sharp knife, was called Bosporos in the past by the Byzantines, one of its oldest guests. The reason why the throat, which means “ox gate” in Greek, takes this meaning comes from the love of Zeus in Greek mythology for Io, the daughter of Inahos, the god of the rivers. According to the rumor, Zeus, the king of the gods, started to be with Io by hiding it from his wife Hera. While Hera is going to catch the two of them one day, Zeus thinks that he will deceive Hera by turning himself into a cloud and Io into a cow, but Hera realizes everything and wants the cow as a gift. In order to drive Io away from Zeus, Argos leaves him in the custody of a terrifying monster named Panoptis. Zeus then commissions Hermes and has the Argos monster killed. In return, Hera inflicts flies on the head of the cow to disturb it all the time. She runs with all her might to get rid of the flies and leaves herself to the cool waters of the Bosphorus and swims across. When she reaches the opposite shore, she gives birth to a daughter. This girl grows up and marries Poseidon, the ruler of the seas, and gives birth to a son named Bizas. This child, on the other hand, gives his name to the land where he was born and establishes the city of Byzantium. Istanbul, which has acquired a very important place for civilizations throughout history, has managed to become one of the cities that make a difference in the world with its location, vegetation and experiences. Those who want to experience the artifacts from the Byzantine and Ottoman times and the deep silhouette of the city that expanded around these works in a comfortable and comfortable way can join the Bosphorus Tours and take a unique cruise on the Bosphorus and have the opportunity to watch all the richness of Istanbul, including the historical peninsula, from a boat.
