Muzeum Morskie w Stambule

The Istanbul Maritime Museum is the oldest and largest maritime museum in Turkey, founded in 1897. The impressive collection includes more than 20,000 exhibits, including ship models, maps, navigational instruments and weapons.

Among the most valuable exhibits are the Sultan's galleys, which once carried the rulers of the Ottoman Empire, and elegant Ottoman-style yachts used by the elite.

For just 60 Turkish Liras (about 8 zlotys), you can be taken on a fascinating journey through the history of naval warfare, trade and the strategic importance of the seas over the centuries.
