Book a tour that includes a Bosphorus cruise. Cruising the infamous east/west strait did not disappoint, showcasing an array of Istanbul’s attractions from palaces, mosques, forts, bridges and towers; these cruises have it all!

Go to one of Istanbul's famous meyhane restaurants. Directly translated to 'the innkeeper', these are traditional Turkish restaurants that welcome everyone, regardless of whether you're a local or tourist. Expect a night filled with delicious mezze washed down with bountiful supplies of raki!
