Day Six Revisit Part 5 - Friday June 11 - Bosphorus Cruise
Next we got back on the bus and headed to the waterfront where some of us took an hour-long Bosphorus Cruise from the Golden Horn north along the European side of Istanbul into the narrows of the Bosphorus Straits, and back south along the Asian side of Istanbul. A nice relaxing time.
The Bosphorus is a strait that forms part of the boundary between Europe and Asia. It connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara - which is connected by the Dardanelles to the Aegean Sea, and thereby to the Mediterranean Sea. The shores of the Bosphorus strait are heavily populated as the city of Istanbul, with a metropolitan area in excess of 11 million) straddles it.
After the cruise, we went back to the Feronya Hotel for dinner and packing.
