Immerse yourself in the history of Istanbul and feel like part of the Ottoman dynasty on a full-day cruise to two of the Princes’ Islands: Heybeliada and Buyukada. The tour also includes a delicious Turkish food tasting and a ride on a golf buggy!
Princes' Islands Full-Day Tour
At the appointed time we'll pick you up from your hotel in downtown 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. Before we set sail, we'll set the tone of the day and enjoy some warm-up music and entertainment!
As we sail away from the harbour, you'll be able to feel the sea breeze and enjoy unique views of Istanbul from the high seas. Our first stop will be Heybeliada. On this island, we'll learn all about the Ottoman kings in the area thanks to the guide.
We'll then return to the ship to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch on board, as we sail to our next destination.
Next, we'll continue the crossing until we reach Buyukada, where we'll discover the colourful charm of the largest island of the archipelago. In Buyukada you'll have about 2 hours of free time to explore the island at your leisure and enjoy its beaches or take a swim. You can even rent a bike or golf cart to explore the island further!
Before returning to Istanbul, we'll make another stop at a bazaar. Here, we'll dive into the bustling market full of stalls with handmade crafts and 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 9 hours of exploration.
