Good to know

The minimum participant of this product is 1 person.
Cultural Etiquette Istanbul is a welcoming city, and locals appreciate friendliness and respect. A simple "Merhaba" (Hello) or "Teshekkurler" (Thank you) can go a long way in connecting with people you meet during the tour.
Punctuality for Smooth Transitions To make the most of the day's itinerary, try to stay punctual, especially when transitioning between land and yacht activities.
Tasting the Famous Kanlica Yogurt Kanlica's yogurt is a local specialty often served with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Be sure to try it, as it's a highlight of the village stopover.
Photography-Friendly Tour This itinerary includes many scenic and historic spots perfect for photography. Charge your camera or phone fully and consider bringing a portable charger if you plan to capture the day extensively.
Local Currency (Turkish Lira) Small purchases, like snacks or drinks in Kanlica, may require Turkish Lira. While some places accept cards, having a few coins or notes is useful for small vendors.
Hydration and Snacks While the tour includes meal stops, it's a good idea to bring a water bottle and a small snack for comfort, especially during walking portions.
Weather Considerations Istanbul's weather can change quickly, especially by the Bosphorus. Bring a light jacket or scarf for cooler breezes on the yacht, particularly during spring or fall. Sunscreen and sunglasses are recommended for sunnier days.
Modest Dress for Religious Sites In the Fener and Balat areas, you'll be visiting historic churches and possibly other religious sites. Dressing modestly is recommended to respect local customs.
