This tour is ideal for travelers who want to escape the busy pace of Istanbul and experience the peaceful atmosphere of the Princes’ Islands in the Sea of Marmara. The journey begins with scenic Bosphorus views and continues with a mix of natural landscapes, island life, and historical landmarks.
The tour departs in the morning from Eminönü Pier and begins with a boat journey across the Bosphorus, accompanied by commentary about the surrounding landmarks and history. The first stop is Heybeliada, a quieter and greener island where you have time to explore at your own pace, walk along the seaside, and visit key local sights.
The tour then continues to Büyükada, the largest of the Princes’ Islands, where you have approximately three hours of free time to explore independently. Options include cycling, coastal walks, visiting historic mansions, beaches, or heading up to Aya Yorgi Hill for panoramic views. The return journey offers final Bosphorus views as the boat heads back to Istanbul.
