Take in unobstructed views of the Golden Horn, the Topkapı Palace, the Dolma Bahce Palace, the Hagia Sophia Mosque, the Maiden’s Tower, the Galata Tower, the Blue Mosque, and the Ortakoy mosque from the boat. Gaze out at the two bridges that connect Europe & Asia. Visit Eyup Sultan Mosque where the Ottoman Sultan ceremonies were done and Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (friend to the Islamic prophet Muhammad) is thought to have been laid to rest.
