If you are looking for a different, luxurious and memorable day in Istanbul, the Princes’ Islands tour is an outstanding choice. It combines a private boat, a live DJ, dancing and a picnic, and visits to the islands’ beautiful natural scenery — with lunch served on board and a Persian-speaking guide, so you can spend an unforgettable day on the calm waters of the Sea of Marmara.
The Princes’ Islands are a small archipelago south of Istanbul where motor traffic is restricted. Instead of cars there are bicycles and electric carts, cobbled lanes, old wooden mansions and pine woods. The tour calls at three of them: Kınalıada, the closest to the city; Burgazada, quiet and uncrowded; and Büyükada, the largest and best known, with its historic houses and shoreline paths.
The boat is reserved for tour guests only: a cheerful, family-friendly atmosphere, the best Persian and international music, and a good-quality lunch served on board. At every stop you have free time for photographs, shopping and wandering.
The programme runs from 09:00 to 17:00 and departs every day of the week. Return transfers are included.
