Enjoy the convenience of hotel pickup in Istanbul before heading to the port for a smooth boarding experience. Step aboard your boat and cruise across the sparkling waters of the Sea of Marmara. Find a comfortable spot on deck, relax, and soak in panoramic views of Istanbul’s iconic skyline. Along the way, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating stories and historical insights about the islands.
Your first stop will be Kınalıada, where you’ll have about one hour to wander its peaceful streets, admire the picturesque coastline, and experience the island’s authentic local charm at your own pace.
Next, enjoy a delightful lunch on board as you sail toward Büyükada, the largest of the Princes’ Islands. You’ll have around two hours to explore — stroll along streets lined with historic mansions, villas, and quaint local homes. With motor vehicles prohibited, you can discover the island on foot, rent a bicycle or scooter, or opt for an electric car tour.
Later, meet your guide at the designated point on Büyükada for the return cruise to Istanbul. On the way back, you may choose to visit a local leather shop or, if you prefer, skip the stop and part ways with the group at the port, making your own way back to your hotel. Otherwise, enjoy a convenient transfer back to your accommodation.
