In this post I’m going to show some photographs of Istanbul related to the Bosporus: a Bosporus cruise and sights along the Bosporus. And next comes Ukraine! We just added a few days in Istanbul before our Ukraine Viking cruise.

Our hotel, the Conrad, is in Besiktas, and an interesting area itself, and a short bus ride from downtown Istanbul. Restaurants, old buildings, fishing on the Bosporus.

The photo at left below was taken from the Conrad Hotel. You can see the Blue Mosque in the distance across the water. At right below, a view in a different direction of the Bosporus (note a submarine in the photo).

There were lots of cruise ships docked at Istanbul, including the Queen Elizabeth, and other ships, and ferries.
