Riva excursions and nearby things to do
Tours linked directly to Riva appear first, followed by current options from its wider region. Check each tour page for the exact departure and hotel-pickup details.
Half Day (4h)Regional option
Bosphorus Cruise & Two Continents
Cruise between Europe and Asia, see Ottoman palaces, fortresses, and the magnificent Istanbul skyline. Pick-up from your Istanbul hotel and the return transfer are arranged for you, so there's no need to find the pier alone. Late-afternoon sailings catch the best light on the waterfront mansions and the strait's two bridges, while mornings are calmer for photos. Bring a windproof layer — the open deck stays breezy even in summer — and keep your camera charged for the palace facades.

The day starts before dawn with a transfer from your Antalya hotel to the airport and ends with a late-night drop-off, so keep the following morning light. Bring photo ID for the domestic flight, comfortable walking shoes, and a scarf plus shoulder cover for the mosque visits. The pace is demanding and suits adults and older children who are happy to keep moving between sights.
