A Collection of royal boats.
An intriguing glimpse into the lives of Ottoman sultans along the Bosphorus, where exquisite design and masterful craftsmanship evoke a dreamlike world.
It is a very interesting museum if you are traveling with children. The entire history of the Turkish navy is presented in chronological order, with many different artifacts: documents, equipment, costumes, weapons, etc. Tickets are inexpensive compared to other museums, children under 9 years old are generally free, and students get a 50% discount.
The hysterical galleys are presented entirely in a huge hall, followed by several more floors with an exhibition.
We really enjoyed it here!
There is a cafe with very beautiful desserts at the exit, I recommend it!
A very, very cool museum for those who understand the maritime business. For others, the main halls will be interesting, where a real 16th-century galley and a huge collection of Sultan pleasure boats from the 17th and 20th centuries are kept. All originals, which is important. Plus, there are many different decorative elements of famous ships.
The collection of items related to famous Ottoman navigators is also impressive.
