Overview

Unlike standard island transfers, this experience combines transportation, lunch, guiding service, and visits to two different islands in one relaxing day.
Travelers enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the Princes’ Islands, where cars are limited and island life moves at a slower pace. With an English-speaking guide, guests learn about island history, Ottoman summer residences, and local culture while cruising across the Sea of Marmara.
The tour includes generous free time on both Büyükada and Kınalıada, allowing visitors to explore charming streets, waterfront cafés, and scenic viewpoints.
With round-trip hotel transfers and lunch included, it is an easy and enjoyable escape from the busy city center.

  • Full-day cruise to the Princes’ Islands
