Kabataş Cruise Terminal

In addition to the large ferry terminal of regular transport lines, to the right of it is the pier of small private companies operating high-speed and sightseeing flights. Officially, it is called Dentur Avrasya Kabataş Iskelesi, after the name of the largest private company, but ships of other owners also dock here. From here, there are regular direct flights to the Princes' Islands on high-speed vessels, classic Bosphorus cruises, including a visit to the Maiden Tower, as well as the most interesting of all Istanbul's water routes, the Full Bosphorus Tour, which includes a three-hour visit to a fishing village located at the Black Sea mouth of the Bosphorus. I would like to note that this particular tour is available only from March to November, while the rest of the routes operate all year round, excluding, of course, stormy weather. Cruise tickets are sold at the ticket offices located in the small wooden building of the old ferry terminal, but the owners of single vessels sell and accept payment right at the ramp. Even if you don't have a goal to go on a cruise, be sure to check out the pier. This is one of the few places on the European coast where there is a free passage to the water with stunning views. You will see the Dolmabachhe Mosque, the coastal part of the Dolmabachhe Palace and the First Bosphorus Bridge..
