Young people from 75 countries were mesmerised by the beauty of Istanbul on Bosphorus tour

1200 culture and art ambassadors from 75 countries participating in the 25th International Istanbul Büyükçekmece Culture and Art Festival, organised in cooperation with Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and Büyükçekmece Municipality, took a Bosphorus tour from Asia to Europe.

The Bosphorus tour, which is traditionally organised every year within the scope of the festival, started from Eminönü Pier and ended at Anadolu Kavağı this year.

They sang and danced along the way
While 1200 culture and art ambassadors from 75 countries participating in the festival witnessed all the beauties of Istanbul, they were fascinated by the magnificent Bosphorus view. Büyükçekmece Mayor and FIDAF Honorary President Dr. Hasan Akgün, who did not leave the culture and art ambassadors alone on the Bosphorus trip, took care of the guests one by one throughout the trip and accompanied the young people singing and dancing along the way.
They are getting to know our country in the best way

After the Bosphorus tour, the guests were served fish bread at Anadolu Kavağı. Büyükçekmece Mayor Dr. Hasan Akgün stated that thanks to the traditional Bosphorus cruise, young people from all over the world have the opportunity to see and get to know our country and Istanbul better; ‘This tour between two continents excites our foreign guests’, he said. Mayor Akgün thanked the captain and crew of the ship after the Bosphorus tour.
