Discover the charm of Istanbul’s Asian side on this scenic half-day tour through the serene neighborhood of Kuzguncuk and the elegant Beylerbeyi Palace. Nestled along the Bosphorus, Kuzguncuk is known for its narrow lanes lined with colorful wooden houses and a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by greenery. Continuing to Beylerbeyi Palace, built by Sultan Abdulaziz as a summer residence, guests explore the lavish halls once frequented by Ottoman sultans and royal visitors from Topkapi Palace. Take a short panoramic drive to Çamlica Hill, one of Istanbul’s highest viewpoints. From here, sweeping views of the city’s skyline reveal a striking blend of minarets, domes, and modern architecture, while the Bosphorus Bridge below serves as a striking symbol of where Europe meets Asia.
