They more or less go between the first two bridges across the Bosphorus, and are a great way to get a sense of the grandeur of the Bosphorus without taking all day to do it.
Night Tours
Especially in the summer, night tours go from major ports and are often full of music, fun and merriment.
You will see some of the most iconic structures on your tour such as Maiden's Tower, the bridges of Istanbul, Ottoman palaces, and homes along the Bosphorus.
Maiden's Tower
This lovely little tower is set on an islet right in the middle of the Bosphorus. It can be seen from quite a lot of vantage points and is the scene of many different legends.
The Bridges of Istanbul
There are 3 cross-continental bridges in Istanbul, typically referred to as the first, second and third bridges (as you go from the Marmara Sea to the Black Sea). The three bridges are all large suspension bridges that light up at night and are truly marvels of architecture each and every one of them.
