Istanbul's Bosphorus Scenic Island Route: Coastal and Sea Discovery
September is the perfect time for Istanbul's coastal and island route, as the weather is cool and the sea is calm. Begin with historic baths and hamams on both sides of the Bosphorus; these places will accompany you on a journey where ships pass by and silhouettes appear in the sky. After visiting the historic baths in Sarıyer and Bebek, board the ferry and head towards Kınalıada, one of the Bosphorus' famous islands; here, discover a historic cemetery and a few ancient churches surrounded by a coastal road located on the grounds of an old monastery, offering magnificent panoramic views. During the ferry ride, discover the historic baths in Kandilli Korusu, an old summer house surrounded by historic cemeteries overlooking the Bosphorus. The ferry will finally dock at Bebek, a historic coastal town on the European side; here, a coastal road stretching along the Bosphorus' winding shores, adorned with a historic bath, and a few boutique restaurants await. By completing this route, you can experience the natural beauty and historical richness offered by Istanbul's coastal and sea views; this provides a perfect combination for both locals and visitors in September, offering a unique experience in the city.
