What to expect

  1. KIz Kulesi
    20m
    The Maiden's Tower is one of the iconic structures that comes to mind when you think of Istanbul. There are fascinating local legends surrounding this legendary structure. We'll stop on the Üsküdar coast to capture the tower's most iconic, postcard-perfect view. This is an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts. You'll enjoy a peaceful break while capturing this unforgettable silhouette of Istanbul.
  2. Beylerbeyi
    20m
    The second stop takes us to Beylerbeyi, a charming Bosphorus neighborhood that feels like a journey back in time. Located right beneath the monumental Bosphorus Bridge, Beylerbeyi Pier offers a stunning contrast between historic wooden mansions and modern architecture. We will take a short walk around the historic pier, enjoy the sea breeze, and see the magnificent 19th-century Beylerbeyi Palace from the outside—a grand summer residence of the Ottoman Sultans.
  3. Anadolu Hisari Fort
    30m
    Next, we ride to Anadolu Hisari, a medieval fortress built in 1395 by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I. It sits at the narrowest point of the Bosphorus, where the Göksu River meets the sea. We will cruise through its historic, narrow streets on the motorcycles, take a brief break to admire the ancient castle walls and the peaceful riverboats, and capture some of the most authentic photos of your Istanbul trip.
  4. Kanlica Meydani
    20m
    The final destination is Kanlica, a peaceful and historic coastal village famous worldwide for its traditional yogurt. We will park the motorcycles by the square and take a well-deserved break at the historic waterfront cafe. Here, you will taste the legendary Kanlica yogurt topped with powdered sugar while enjoying the panoramic Bosphorus views. It’s the perfect, delicious conclusion to a budget-friendly Asian side adventure!"
