Ortaköy – Arnavutköy Tour

Our tour starts in front of your flat. We grab a taxi to Besiktas. Having breakfast is a great opportunity to start a day in Besiktas, we start our tour with a local breakfast.

We will head to our second spot named Ortakoy by walking through one of the best walking ways in Istanbul. On the way to Ortakoy, Ciragan Palace will be shown from outside by telling traditional wedding rituals and learning late Ottoman architecture.

At the end of 20 minutes walk, one of the most iconic landscapes of the city will be watched by the view of Bosphorus Bridge, Ortakoy Mosque and Asian Side.

Then we get a local bus to the Arnavutkoy neighborhood which is pointed as one of the coolest 40 neighborhoods in the world by Time Out magazine. Walking through the colorful and modern houses by taking Instagrammable photos, feel the atmosphere that you can’t find out visiting the tourist sites of Istanbul.

This experience will change the way you viewed Istanbul, as it brought a sense of familiarity and makes you feel like at home.

At the end of the tour, we take a ferry from Arnavutkoy pier to Besiktas or a taxi. Transportation type can change according to the ending time of the tour.
