Cruise of the Sultans on the Golden Horn
Istanbul
This cruise takes in the Golden Horn using caïques ( long-boats) decorated and gilded in imperial Ottoman style. One end of the long-boat supports the throne of the Sultan in a covered zone which has six seats. The oarsmen of the caïques dress in traditional costumes of the Ottoman period.
The only difference from boats of the original period is that today our caïques can also use motors.
Thanks to these silent motors our guest on this trip are able listen to Ottoman classical music.
(The maximum capacity of each caïque is 32 persons)
