Hey fellow travelers! I’m absolutely fascinated by this Bosphorus Cruise & Turkish Night Show in Istanbul. The idea of gliding along the water while taking in those gorgeous views of ancient minarets and modern skyscrapers sounds like a dream. Has anyone here experienced this? I’m particularly curious about the Turkish Night Show – did you feel it gave you a real taste of the local culture, or was it more of a touristy thing? And don’t even get me started on the food! I’m a sucker for trying local cuisine, so I’d love to hear if the onboard dinner lived up to expectations. Anyone have any standout dishes or moments from their cruise? Spill the tea (or should I say Turkish coffee?) – I’m all ears!
