Sailing Bosphorus Istanbul

We were looking forward to sail on The Bosphorus, the 30 km long strait connecting the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, surrounded by the city of Istanbul (15 mln inhabitants!). More than 100,000 vessels pass through each year, so very busy area, we planned our trip with care and checked all the rules about sailing on this water and the strong currents. In this video you will see the Asian side and the European side, filmed from our catamaran, with hightlights like: - the Blue Mosque - Maiden’s Tower - Yalıs: Ottoman wooden waterfront villas - 15 July Martyrs Bridge - Rumeli Hisarı Fortress - Ortaköy Mosque - Galata Tower and Galata Bridge - Hagia Sophia
