| Cruise in Style on the Bosphorus The gorgeous Bosphorus Strait is remarkable because it straddles the European and Asian continents, but it’s known even more as a delightful waterway for stylish cruises. Istanbul Tours offers private chartered cruises on their luxury yachts for both small and large groups—complete with an English-speaking guide. Your party can sip a glass of wine on the deck while traveling sedately past ornate sultan’s palaces and centuries-old masterpieces and then enjoy a sumptuous dinner while watching the sun set over the sparkling water.

| Discover a Whole New Cuisine Together Food lovers in your group will adore the opportunity to learn how to prepare Turkish cuisine. Cooking Alaturka creates a fun, relaxing atmosphere for groups to get their hands dirty preparing a five-course meal made up of classic Ottoman fare, as well as regional and home-cooking favourites. And the best part, of course, is eating the decadent creations over a glass or two of local wine. Your party will tackle delicious dishes like eggplants braised in olive oil with onions, garlic, and herbs; Circassian chicken with walnuts; and syrupy sponge cakes with hazelnuts. You can also completely customize your own menu—and class times—based on your group’s preferences. Visit the Cooking Alaturka website for more details on cooking courses available » |
