This bus ride along the European (western) shore of the Bosphorustakes just over two hours (127 minutes average time) from Sarıyer, near the northern end of the Bosphorus, and Eminönü by the Galata Bridge over the Golden Horn. Here's what to see along the way.
Boldface departures are probably the ones you want if you've come to Sarıyer by traditional Bosphorus ferry cruise.
NOTE: the departures underlined and in RED go south from Sariyeralong the Bosphorus shore through Büyükdere, Tarabya and Yeniköy, as far as İstinye, then head inland, up into the hills away from the shore, coming down to the shore again at Beşiktaş (north of Dolmabahçe Palace), so if you plan to stop at Rumeli Hisari fortressand/or Ortaköy, do not take one of the underlined REDdepartures.
