Princess Islands Tour

Prince Islands Tour – A Peaceful Escape from Istanbul

The Prince Islands are a captivating cluster of nine islands in the Sea of Marmara, five of which are inhabited. On today’s tour, you’ll visit two of the most beautiful islands and enjoy scenic views of three others from the boat. Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or a designated meeting point.

Our friendly guide will welcome you aboard as we set sail across the glittering waters of Istanbul. Along the way, take in the magnificent views of the city’s iconic skyline while your guide shares captivating stories about the islands and landmarks you’ll pass. After approximately one hour of sailing, we’ll arrive at Büyükada, the largest and most popular of the Prince Islands.

With no motorized vehicles allowed, the island offers a serene atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era. You’ll have two hours of free time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Stroll through pine-scented paths, rent a bicycle to explore the island at your own pace, or take a refreshing swim during the summer. Don’t forget to indulge in a scoop of locally famous ice cream from the marketplace!

Following your time on Büyükada, a delicious lunch will be served onboard as we cruise to our second destination: Kınalıada. This smaller yet equally charming island has a character all its own. You’ll have one hour to wander its quaint streets, relax, and soak up the authentic island ambiance.

Be sure to try the freshly baked bread with butter and tulum cheese from the local bakery—a true local favorite. Before returning to Istanbul, we’ll make a final stop for a delightful surprise. Visit a leather boutique, where you’ll enjoy a short fashion show featuring quality handmade leather goods.

There’s absolutely no pressure to buy—just sit back and enjoy the experience. We’ll then return you to your hotel, bringing a perfect close to a day filled with natural beauty, cultural insight, and leisurely charm.

We hope this journey to the Prince Islands has added a special memory to your time in Istanbul, and we look forward to welcoming you on another unforgettable experience soon.
