This shore excursion is one of our Culture Combination Shore Excursions where we combine the dominent culture of Turkey with another less dominent culture present in the city, in this case Arabic.
These shore excursions are hugely popular as our guests experience two cultures at the same time.
We have produced the following unique experiences to delight our guests and live like a local for a few hours.
- Enjoy a traditional Turkish breakfast with cimit (sesame bread) and cay (local tea) plus enjoy a performance from a local entertainer. We then a local market such as the Grand Bazarre
- Enjoy a stroll around the Nisantasi neighbourhood viewing local boutiques for gifts.
- We visit some of the secret attractions that only the locals know about and away from the main tourist areas.
- Enjoy a truly delicious traditional Arabian restaurant with all its local dishes. Amazing. The best food in Istanbul.
- NEW! Photo Ops! We provide you with the very best opportunities for photos along the shore excursion.
