Modern structures jostled with heritage buildings on the banks of the Bosphorus as the yacht headed South towards the islet housing the Maiden’s Tower. The Galata Tower rose in the distance, and soon the majestic Dolmabahce Mosque and palace came into view. More riveting sights loomed before the ride ended at the Ciragan Palace. Have a watch.
