Description

Join us for a peaceful escape from Istanbul with a full-day Princess Islands Tour to Büyükada and Kınalıada. The Princess Islands are a group of nine charming islands, five of which are inhabited. During this relaxing journey, you’ll visit two of them and admire three others from the comfort of our boat. Your day begins with a convenient hotel pickup or meeting at a designated point. Upon arrival at the pier, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our professional guide before boarding the boat. As we set sail between 9:15 and 9:30 AM, enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and the panoramic views of Istanbul’s skyline. Throughout the cruise, your guide will share fascinating facts about the islands and the city’s landmarks. After about an hour of pleasant sailing, we’ll reach Büyükada, the largest and most famous of the islands. Here, you’ll have two hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Rent a bicycle, take a peaceful walk through tree-lined streets, or swim in the crystal-clear waters during summer. Next, enjoy a delicious lunch served onboard as we cruise toward our second destination, Kınalıada — a smaller yet equally beautiful island. Spend an hour soaking in its authentic island charm and laid-back atmosphere before we begin our return to Istanbul. On the way back, we’ll stop briefly at a leather fashion house, where you can watch a short, 10-minute fashion show and browse local products. Afterward, relax during your transfer back to your hotel, bringing your unforgettable day on the Princess Islands to a perfect close.

Lunch is served on the boat, but drinks and other extras are at your own expense. At the end of the tour, a short stop will be made at a leather fashion store with an optional 10-minute show. Participation in shopping is completely voluntary.
