Sail from Istanbul to the Princes’ Islands and explore Heybeliada and Büyükada on this full-day guided tour.
Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pickup. You’ll meet your guide at the pier for a short briefing, after which you’ll board the boat and set out across the Marmara Sea for the Princes’ Islands.
The Princes’ Islands are an archipelago of nine islands in the Sea of Marmara, known for their car-free streets, historic mansions, and tranquil atmosphere. In Ottoman times, the islands served as a place of exile before becoming a relaxing retreat for Istanbul’s aristocratic and wealthy families. On Heybeliada, you can soak in the peace amidst the island’s lush pine forests and historic buildings.
On Büyükada, the largest of the nine islands, explore the Ottoman-era mansions, rent an electric bike or a scooter to wind through the streets at your own pace, take a peaceful stroll on its pristine beaches, or go for an energizing swim. With historic villas, monasteries, museums, and landmarks like Leon Trotsky’s home in exile, there’s plenty to discover on this island retreat.
Throughout the tour, your expert guide will share stories about the islands’ history, architecture, and cultural significance. Based on the ticket option you choose, you can enjoy a sumptuous lunch of local Turkish delicacies. You’ll end your tour with a scenic boat trip back to Istanbul and a comfortable drop back to your hotel.
