Boğaz'da güzel bir akşam
Traveled June 2026
Arkadaş grubuyla katıldık, çok keyifliydi. Otelden alımda Hüseyin Bey tam vaktinde geldi, gayet ilgiliydi. Tekne kalktıktan sonra Boğaz’ın gece manzarası bambaşkaydı, köprülerin altından geçerken yalıları, sarayları seyrettik. Yemek beklediğimizden iyiydi, porsiyonlar yeterliydi. Müzik vardı, biraz dans ettik, kahkahalarla geçti. 23:30 gibi tekrar otele bıraktılar. İstanbul’da bir akşamınızı değerlendirmek isterseniz bence güzel bir seçim. Biz memnun kaldık.
We had a great time on the Bosphorus Dinner Cruise! The Turkish food was delicious and the drinks were great. The belly dancing was a lot of fun and we even got to dance a little ourselves. We would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a great evening out in Istanbul.
