This was a very good dinner, with very good service. I recommend the fish dinner, which was excellent, rather than the mixed grill. The appetizer plate was also very good with a very fresh vegetable salad. They provided transfer from our hotel to the boat, but it was still quite a walk with our canes. The cruise was very smooth and seeing Istanbul at night, with all the lights was magnificent.
The dancers were great, performing traditional folk dances from different regions of Turkey. We would have liked some narratives , though, as to these regions, as well as what each different dance and movement represented. For example, we had read about the Whirling Dervishes, so we knew that it is a very old tradition with much religious significance, along with meaningful hand positions. But, none of this was explained or narrated about any of the dances, which explanations would raise this activity to a must do, 5 star rating. Be that as it me we highly recommend this activity, especially with its very reasonable price!!
