After lunch, we drive across the first Bosphorus bridge and head for the summit of Camlica Hill, which affords an amazing panoramic view of Istanbul. From here a short drive brings us to the Palace of Beylerbeyi on the shore of the Bosphorus for a short visit. After the tour you will be returned to your hotel and stay overnight.
