Experience a scenic and peaceful journey away from the busy streets of Istanbul with this full-day Princess Islands tour. The day starts at 10:00 AM, when your boat departs from the pier and begins cruising across the Marmara Sea. As you relax on board, your professional English and Russian-speaking guide will share interesting facts and stories about historical landmarks, continents, and monuments you pass by, giving you a deeper understanding of the city’s rich history and geographical charm. Don’t forget your camera—there are many great spots for photos and videos along the way.

Your first stop is Büyükada, the largest and most famous of the Prince Islands. Upon arrival, your guide will provide a short briefing about the best places to visit, such as bicycle rental points, swimming areas, or local attractions worth seeing. You’ll then have around three hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Whether you prefer to ride a bike, dine at a seaside café, shop for souvenirs, or just enjoy the calm island atmosphere, Büyükada offers the perfect setting for all of it.

After returning to the boat, your next destination will be Heybeliada, known for its natural beauty and historical sites. This island is also home to the former summer residence of Turkey’s 2nd president, which is now a small museum. Before disembarking, your guide will give another short orientation to help you make the most of your time. You’ll have about one hour of free time to walk around, take in the serene surroundings, or visit notable spots.

Following your island adventures, you’ll return to the boat for a relaxing journey back to Golden Horn (Haliç). Reflect on the memories you’ve made during this unique island escape from Istanbul. Please note that tour duration and route may vary depending on weather conditions and ferry schedules. In rare cases, the tour program might be adapted into a Bosphorus cruise instead.
