About This Tour
Get away from the turmoil of Istanbul and spend a peaceful day on the Full Day Princess Island Tour. Start with a scenic ferry boat trip to Büyükada, the largest of the Princes' Islands. The absence of motor vehicles makes the island peaceful, where only the pine trees, electric buggies, and bicycles are heard making any noise.
On the island, take a walking tour or electric carriage ride down charming streets filled with Ottoman-era mansions and multihued gardens. Your guide will retell the history of the island as a former exile for Byzantine princes and current refuge for locals and visitors.
Enjoy lunch at a seafront restaurant with an ocean view. Afterwards, have free time to swim, hire a bike, visit the island, or sit back and relax with a Turkish coffee by the harbour.
This trip is a combination of island relaxation and culture, perfect for those who want to relax but still see history and landscapes.
