Know before you book

  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
  • Public transport options are available nearby
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Comfortable Walking Shoes Parts of the tour, especially in the Old City, Fener, and Balat districts, involve walking on cobbled and uneven streets. Wear comfortable, supportive shoes to enjoy the exploration.
  • Modest Dress for Religious Sites In the Fener and Balat areas, you'll be visiting historic churches and possibly other religious sites. Dressing modestly is recommended to respect local customs.
  • Weather Considerations Istanbul's weather can change quickly, especially by the Bosphorus. Bring a light jacket or scarf for cooler breezes on the yacht, particularly during spring or fall. Sun cream and sunglasses are recommended for sunnier days.
  • Hydration and Snacks While the tour includes meal stops, it's a good idea to bring a water bottle and a small snack for comfort, especially during walking portions.
  • Local Currency (Turkish Lira) Small purchases, like snacks or drinks in Kanlica, may require Turkish Lira. While some places accept cards, having a few coins or notes is useful for small vendors.
  • Photography-Friendly Tour This itinerary includes many scenic and historic spots perfect for photography. Charge your camera or phone fully and consider bringing a portable charger if you plan to capture the day extensively.
  • Tasting the Famous Kanlica Yoghurt Kanlica's yoghurt is a local speciality often served with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Be sure to try it, as it's a highlight of the village stopover.
  • Punctuality for Smooth Transitions To make the most of the day's itinerary, try to stay punctual, especially when transitioning between land and yacht activities.
  • Cultural Etiquette Istanbul is a welcoming city, and locals appreciate friendliness and respect. A simple "Merhaba" (Hello) or "Teshekkurler" (Thank you) can go a long way in connecting with people you meet during the tour.
