What to Expect

When participating in our Princess Island Tour, you can expect to feel the great atmosphere of a boat trip, and witness the beauty of Princess Islands. In the morning, a modern vehicle is about to pick you up from your hotel in Istanbul, and transfer you to the port. With an old-school and charming sailing boat, you will set sail in Marmara Sea. The boat trip lasts for, almost, one hour and 30 minutes. In fact, what makes it special is that it provides some cool views over important sites. Make yourself comfortable on the decks, and observe Topkapi Palace and Leander’s Tower. As the boat sails towards Büyükada, don’t forget to capture the moments with your camera!

Büyükada is the largest of the Princess Islands, and one of the most charming locations to visit when in Istanbul. In fact, it looks like time has stopped, as there are no cars on the streets, but horse-driven carriages. The island has some stunning, sandy bays where you can swim and unwind, as well as a serene pine forest. Once you arrive there, you will have the opportunity to experience a horse-carriage ride. The tour of the island with a carriage takes almost 45 minutes, and once done expect to feel an incredible blend of positive emotions. Accompanied by the tour guide, you will have the chance to enjoy a mouth-watering lunch, at a charming fish restaurant on the island. After lunch, feel free to explore the island as you wish, and to take full advantage of your visit to empty your mind. As you are away from the vibrant atmosphere of the city, this tour is an excellent opportunity to spend some quality time with your loved ones. In the afternoon, you will sail back to the port, where a bus is waiting to transfer you back at your hotel.
