Today we did a cruise up the Bosporus Strait to the Black Sea to see Istanbul's Minarets, Mansions, Mosques and Palaces from the water.
We were provided with a lovely lunch
Top of the hill is the Yoros Castle. This is a ruined castle dating back to Byzantine times that stand above confluence of the Bosphorus. We sailed into a small Fishing Village and were supposed to have time to hike up to the Castle, but time did not permit. So, we walked around the village and then headed back to the harbor where we started
