Princes' Islands Day Trip
Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll pick you up from the meeting point or your hotel in Istanbul and escort you to the port of Kabatas. Here, we'll hop on board our boat that will take us on a tour of the Turkish Princes' Islands. Let's go!
As we sail away from the harbor, you'll be able to feel the sea breeze and enjoy unique views of Istanbul from the high seas. Our first stop will be Kınalıada, called Henna Island. On this island, you'll have 1 hour of free time to explore its past as a refuge during the Byzantine period. Don't miss visiting the only Armenian church on the island, Surp Krikor Lusavoric, or walking along the promenade with views of the Sea of Marmara.
We'll then return to the ship to enjoy a delicious lunch of typical Turkish dishes on board, as we sail to our next destination.
We'll continue our trip toward Büyükada, where we'll discover the colourful charm of the largest island of the archipelago. In Büyükada, you'll have about 2.5 hours of free time to explore the island at your leisure, enjoy its beaches, or take a swim. You can even rent a bike or an electric car to explore the island further!
Before returning to Istanbul, we'll make an optional stop at a bazaar. You'll have the chance to disembark the boat and explore the stalls filled with traditional Turkish products. The perfect place to snag a souvenir!
After a day of discovering the Principe Islands, we'll return by boat to the starting point following approximately 8 hours of exploration.
