Explore the Golden Horn on the water
Capture memories
Enjoy complimentary rowing sessions guided by experts as the morning glow touches the shimmering waters of the Golden Horn. Tuesday–Sunday, 9–11 am, row along the quiet shoreline at your own pace and feel the city awaken around you. Glide past the storied silhouettes of the Historic Peninsula, Galata Tower, and Süleymaniye, with traces of the old city walls along shores lined with colorful wooden houses and lively quays. Set your own rhythm and savor the view from the boat.
Capture memories
Bring a waterproof pouch for your phone or camera and record short clips between strokes. Save a few still moments too. The reflections are part of the magic.
What you’ll see from the water
As you keep to the boat, you’ll pass Fener and Balat’s colorful facades, neighborhood piers, and gentle parkland near Eyüp, with hilltop viewpoints rising beyond the inlet. Its not just a row, but a journey to the history of İstanbul’s grand foundations.
