Best Istanbul Marinas

best istanbul marinas1
A city like Istanbul that lies over different water bodies and has many beautiful coasts and beaches. Not to forget the fact that the Bosphorus runs through Istanbul and divides it into two parts on two different continents, which drives many people to use the water public transportation to travel from one side to another. At the same time, others who are fond of water sports and the sea lovers who own boats for their own leisure time.
These facts made Istanbul the city of marinas and Yacht ports. It has many ports and Marinas; some have earned global recognition and awards with special services.
Here, we will give brief information about a few of what we consider the best marinas in Istanbul.
