A short break in the city with a Bosphorus cruise from Istanbul.

"Istanbul Arası," a project initiated by İBB Kültür A.Ş., aims to provide a unique cultural and artistic experience by enhancing the familiar Bosphorus ferry ride with music, theater, and guided narratives. The first event took place on August 14th, offering participants a delightful experience in the unique atmosphere of the Bosphorus.

"Istanbul Arası," one of the new initiatives brought to Istanbul by İBB Kültür A.Ş., held its first event on August 14th with Ayhan Sicimoğlu & Harikalar Bandosu. The evening also featured theatrical performances by Monologlar Müzesi accompanying the journey, and a guided narration titled "Hidden Stories of the Bosphorus."

Offering a brief respite from the city's hectic pace, "Istanbul Arası" brings together music, theater, literature, and city stories on the ferry route. The program features a different artist at each event, providing a unique experience for those spending an evening on the Bosphorus.

Following the first event, the program will continue on August 28th with Jakuzi on Piano, September 11th with Dilek Türkan, and September 25th with Büyük Ev Ablukada. "Istanbul Arası," which combines diverse musical experiences with Istanbul's familiar ferry route, will continue to welcome those who want to spend an evening immersed in art on the Bosphorus throughout the summer.

Tickets for this event, which has limited capacity, are available on Passo and Biletix!
