Itinerary

After being picked up from your hotels for your tour and meeting your guide at the departure point, we will head to the port for your boat trip. The Nine Princes’ Islands are located in the Marmara Sea. During the Byzantine era, these islands were used as places of exile for princes, hence their name, Princes' Islands. The islands are renowned for their beautiful beaches, incredible houses, charming small villas, and peaceful surroundings, especially the pine trees.

We will embark on a boat trip and enjoy the stunning views of Istanbul from the sea for over an hour. Büyükada, the largest of the islands, is famous for its clean air due to the absence of motor vehicles. Instead, we will ride electric phaetons from the bottom to the top of the island, passing by all the beautiful views and natural forests, with a ten-minute break at the top to take in the scenery.
