RUMELISHISARI FORTRESS - (RUMELIHISARI CASTLE) At the narrowest point of the Bosphorus stands the Rumelihisarr Fortress, built by Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror on the European shore. The Sultan himself on the 26th day of March 1452 laid the foundation stone of the Fortress with a view to controlling the passage of the ships through the Bosphorus and using it as a base for his attack on the city.
The Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, also known as the Second Bosphorus Bridge, is a bridge in Istanbul, Turkey spanning the Bosphorus strait. When completed in 1988, it was the 5th-longest suspension bridge span in the world; today it is the 24th.
Kanlıca is a neighborhood on the Asian side of the Bosphorus strait, in the Beykoz district of Istanbul Province, Turkey. Kanlica is known for its popular specialty, yogurt topped with castor sugar, offered in local restaurants and cafés.
On the opposite bank stands the Anadoluhisari Fortress by the Göksu stream. This romantic castle which adorns the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus was built in 1395 by Sultan Bayazit, the Thunderbolt and named as "Güzelcehisar". Later it was extended by Mehmet, the Conqueror. Today, as the first possession of Turks on the Bosphorus, it serves as the landmark of Turkish rule.
The summer Palace of Kucuksu, sometimes called the Palace of Göksu, is situated between the villages of Anadoluhisan and Kandilli on the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus.
The palace was built by Sultan Abdulaziz in 1865. It is the most extravagant royal house on which millions were spent. It is a white vision of a fairy tale and is situated between Kuzguncuk and Cengelköy.
Maiden’s Tower is 180 meters away from shores of Üsküdar. The tower has two different names in that of Maiden’s and Leander’s Tower. The Europeans named it after wrongly thinking Leander drowned here while attempting to swim to Aphrodite.

We sailed on March 24th. We’re 3 couples and wanted to enjoy private dinner cruises so decided to use SU YAGHTS instead odd the traditional cruise company.. I musty day it was a disappointment. The meal was about $49 per person additional to the rental. The meal was served cold and the meat was hard. Mezzes were from container at a Local grocery. If we would had been in a restaurant we would have returned the food plate and not eaten but unfortunately we had no options after paying hundreds of dollars and no where to eat. I would not recommend taking the foods option unboard. I mentioned my concerns and True opinion to the company in a private text but also wanted to post here. I also mentioned it our Istanbul hotel manager so they know what the next client will encounter.
Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your private dinner cruise on March 24th. We are truly sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations, especially for a special evening planned by three couples. We would like to clarify one important point about the food service. Our menus are prepared fresh by our partner restaurants and, for hygiene and food safety reasons, they are delivered to the yacht in sealed containers. Once on board, our team plates and serves the dishes. This is why some items may have been seen in containers. It does not mean the food is “grocery store” quality, it is part of the safe delivery process. That said, food being served cold and the meat being tough is not acceptable and not the standard we aim for. On the Bosphorus, wind and weather conditions can cause plated dishes to cool down quickly if guests are not seated immediately after plating. However, if this is mentioned during the cruise, we can reheat the dishes or replace them with freshly served plates. We are sorry that we did not resolve this properly for you at the time, especially since you felt you had no alternatives after paying for the meal. We appreciate that you also shared your concerns with us privately. We are reviewing the service from that evening to prevent this from happening again. If you are comfortable sharing the booking name and cruise time by message, we can look into the details and follow up directly. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and thank you again for your honest feedback. Kind regards, SU Yachting
Would recommend to anyone. Great experience, food totally worth it and super friendly staff on board!
We had a fantastic experience on SU A yacht! The entire crew were amazing and went out of their way to satisfy any requests we had throughout our cruise!
Dear Grishko, We're thrilled to hear our yacht tour was the highlight of your Istanbul visit! Your kind words for our crew are greatly appreciated. Hope to welcome you aboard again.
Spectacular! It was the best day in Istanbul! Kemal helped us arrange a tour of the Bosphorus and the Prince Islands… spectacular!!!!!!!! I definitely recommend it!
The Bosphorus tour was wonderful and our guides English was fairly good. It was fun visiting Princes Islands. They were very accommodating for our children ages 7-13 who were with us as well. We stopped on an island for lunch at a restaurant they recommended. It was delicious! It was so nice to get out of the city for day on the water!
I had rented this yacht privately for 4 hours to explore the beauty of the Bosphorus with friends, 17 in number, in style. Everyone loved the sleek yacht and everything was tiptop clean. Attentive service. Captain Kemal Ertüzün and crew were top. Many thanks to Sarp Eski, through whom I had booked this yacht with Istanbul Tourist Information.
SU Luxury Yacht is extremely good in providing amazing yacht experience in the sea. Very courteous and knowledgeable staff and helped us to explore Bosphorus in the best way. We would like to recommend the everlasting experience of yacht riding!
We just jumped off the yacht and we couldn't wait to write a review after a lovely experience we just lived. We have been cruising all around the Bosphorus, discovering for 2 hours the gems that this characteristic place has, having a quite rich breakfast on board, served from very high professional but still friendly staff. Can't wait for the next year to repeat it and bring more people with us. Highly recommended!!! Massive Thank you to the very cool Captain Muzaffer and the two member of crew Batuhan and Mert for this amazing experience.
Very professional company. More than money, they care about customer satisfaction. We took a daily tour with 5 colleagues who came to Istanbul for the first time. The organization and the whole staff were just amazing. I would recommend to all my friends living in Germany, other countries and Turkey. I’m sure to take daily tours again whenever I get the time. Mr. Kemal, Mr. Muzaffer, Captain of Water, and Mr. Victory and Baran thank you very much for the unforgettable experience. Would recommend to everyone. 23.07.2022, Mustafa Demirkol
We booked a tour as a group of six people and are all delighted. Very nice, helpful and accommodating team. Clean and well maintained boat. Everything was right from front to back!
