Tour Pictures from Travelers
This was by far one of the best days we had in Istanbul! We booked the Princes Islands yacht tour with a group of close friends, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The private yacht was luxurious and spotless, with enough space for us to relax and enjoy the open air.
We cruised peacefully toward the islands, leaving the noise of the city behind. Swimming in the crystal-clear water, away from the crowded beaches, was the highlight of my day.
In the afternoon, we visited Büyükada where we explored on foot and stopped for Turkish tea at a seaside café. Every moment was well-paced, and the crew gave us the freedom to shape the day as we wished. Whether relaxing on deck, swimming, exploring the islands, or enjoying snacks, it felt like the day belonged to us.
The whole journey was peaceful and refreshing, perfect for those who want to experience the Princes Islands at their own pace. If you’re visiting Istanbul, I highly recommend taking a day for this trip — it gives you a whole new perspective on the city and its surroundings. Finally, special thanks to Serayaz team.
The peaceful sailing between the islands gave us the perfect chance to recharge and enjoy the moment.
