This journey will take us through the strait that connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, dividing Istanbul between its European and Asian sides. We’ll enjoy the lively activity of the Strait with its many boats. We’ll pass under the two bridges that link Europe and Asia and admire the Sultan’s Palaces, traditional wooden houses, and Ottoman architecture.
