Istanbul port is one of the most popular ports for cruise ships.
The routes of cruise ships are usually located in Turkey and Istanbul. The most important reason for this is Istanbul. Since Istanbul is among the cities that have no other example in the world, those who travel by cruise ship want to see this city, the cradle of civilizations. This city, the cradle of civilization of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires, is also famous for the Bosphorus, which separates the continents of Asia and Europe. Many historical iconic structures such as Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom Church), Chora Church, Galata Tower and Maiden's Tower are located in Istanbul. For these reasons, Istanbul is one of the most exciting cities to visit for Istanbul Shore Excursion.
So, how can you tour Istanbul while traveling with a cruise ship?
If someone prepares the entire itinerary, the best Istanbul tour routes and all the entrance tickets for you while you are cruiseing on the ship, and picks you up when you arrive at the Istanbul port and makes your tour, and drop you back to the port, sounds good, doesn't it?
In fact, this is the normal procedure for customers traveling by cruise ship. Since the arrival and departure times of the ship moored in the port are determined in advance, all you have to do is inform the tour agency and they will organize the rest for you. You will only have to enjoy the tour.
You may ask what can I do when the cruise ship anchors in Istanbul port. There are so many things you can do in Istanbul that it's uncountable. However, since the cruise ship is in the port for a limited time, we recommend you to buy a full-day (7-8 hours) private tour of Istanbul with a local guide. Full-day Istanbul tour package includes Sultanahmet historical tour, Grand Bazaar shopping tour and Spice Bazaar tours. If your time is limited, you can choose a half-day (4-hour) Istanbul Sultanahmet historical tour and Grand Bazaar shopping tour.
