Constructed on an area of 7,000 square metres (1.7 acres), the fortress is situated at the narrowmost point of the Bosporus, where the strait is a mere 660 meters (2,170 ft) wide.

The Arabic word estuary, which is the geomorphological name of the structure formed by the invasion of a part of the river bed reaching it by the sea, has become a special name since the Ottoman period, due to the importance of the Istanbul estuary for the city, and has become the name of a city region covering many districts.

very pleasant expereince. - highly appreciated that they use whataspp 2 days ago to confirm with me the booking, and teach me how to go to the meeting point, as a tourist, it's very useful and user-friendly. giving me all the information and show pictures to me on how to get to the meeting point. It's high appreciated and very thoughful. When I am abroad the ship, it's comfortable and provided me with Turkish snacks and drink, the Turkish tea is offered as well which is interesting to me. Of course, the sunset on Bosphorus is magnificent. The guide is "navigating" us all the way, telling us and filling us with information about all the architecture on both bank, that's make the whole cruise much more fun. All the staff on board the ship is courteous, hard working and friendly.

Every peace of ıstanbul - We saw every peace of ıstanbul and the guide explained us every detail about the peaces. The sad thing was that the maidens tower was under construction at the time and we couldnt see it. At the last: about 19.50-20.10 you can see the sunset and it was amazing. I am only for 5 days here with my kids and wife. I would definetly visit acetes travel again.

Best Experience of Istanbul Cruise For Our Family - The Istanbul semi private sunset cruise turned out to be one of the best experiences for our family. 🤗❤️👌👍👏🛥️ Friendly staff served snacks and soft drinks while the experienced and well spoken tour guide explained history as he pointed out various buildings, mosques, and other significant places providing information on cultural, historical and contemporary heritage to us making this educational and entertaining. Then the staff took many amazing sunset photos from their phones and sent them all to us on WhatsApp for free. From the pickup from our hotel to the drop off, everything was just a wonderful experience. Thank you to Aziz, Erdal & the friendly staff in making this one of the most pleasant evenings for our family.
