Best of the Asian Side
Take a look at the Asian side of Istanbul on this unique sightseeing tour. During this Istanbul tour, you'll enjoy a scenic drive through major spots like Fenerbahçe, Beylerbeyi Palace, and more. Get ready for a side of Istanbul you've never seen.
Throughout this Istanbul tour, enjoy panoramic views galore; make sure to have your camera handy. Expect to pass by Dolmabahce, where you'll come across the eponymous palace. This structure once served as the Ottoman Empire's main administrative center. It's the largest palace in Turkey with close to 300 rooms in the palace. The building is not open to the general public, so one of the only ways to get inside is through this Turkey tour.
Once you're done admiring the building, your Istanbul scenic tour takes a more natural turn. At the famous hills Camlica and Küçük you'll have a chance to take some gorgeous pictures. During your visit to Camlica, you can stop for Turkish tea or coffee at one of the cafeterias if you desire.
Among the last highlights of this Istanbul drive is Beylerbeyi Palace, which served as Sultan Abdulaziz's summer dwelling. Although it's not as big as Dolmabahce Palace, it's just as fascinating, particularly its interior. The floor, for instance, is covered in specially-bought Egyptian straw. Your tour finally comes to an end with a scenic drive back to the European side of Istanbul. Book today for an incredible Turkey experience.
