This exceptional tour not only allows you to enjoy the flavors of Turkish cuisine but also provides stunning views of famous landmarks along the Bosphorus. Noon is the perfect time to appreciate the Bosphorus's beauty while savoring a delicious Turkish meal.

Your adventure begins as you step onto the cruise. The enticing aroma of a freshly prepared lunch greets you, featuring a delightful spread of seasonal salads, tasty hors d’oeuvres, succulent chicken shish kebabs, and fragrant rice.
