Description
Set off from Istanbul for a full-day exploration of the enchanting Princes Islands, a peaceful escape just off the Turkish coast. Begin your journey with a comfortable hotel pickup, then relax on a scenic boat ride across the sparkling Sea of Marmara, guided by a knowledgeable local expert sharing the islands' fascinating history.
Arrive at Buyukada, the largest and most famous of the Princes Islands, where car-free streets invite you to stroll past elegant Ottoman-era mansions. Enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and, in summer, perhaps unwind on one of the island's inviting beaches. Feed seagulls with simits as you take in the picturesque seaside views.
Savor a delicious lunch, served on the boat during summer or at a cozy island restaurant in winter. After your meal, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace, discovering hidden corners, charming shops, or simply soaking in the laid-back island ambiance before heading to the next destination.
Continue your adventure to a second, smaller island, where you'll have about an hour to experience its unique character. Shop for souvenirs or relax by the sea before meeting your guide for the return trip. End your day with a smooth coach ride back to your Istanbul hotel, filled with lasting memories.
This tour is available in English and Russian, and includes hotel transfers, a guided boat trip, and lunch if selected. Please note that beach entrance fees and electric car rentals are not included. Book now to secure your spot on this unforgettable island getaway from Istanbul!
