Private Princes’ Islands Day Trip from Istanbul
Your private guide meets you at your hotel and takes you to the pier for a scenic ferry ride across the Sea of Marmara to the Princes' Islands. On the way your guide introduces the islands: their history, multicultural past, traditional way of life and long role as Istanbul's summer escape.
On arrival in Buyukada, the largest of the islands, you take a guided walk around its lively centre and pass by Dilburnu Nature Park, one of the greenest and most scenic parts of the island.
You continue to Aya Yorgi Church, one of Buyukada's most famous landmarks. From its hilltop there are beautiful views over the island, the Sea of Marmara and the other Princes' Islands. On the way you also see the Buyukada Greek Orphanage, one of the island's most remarkable historic buildings, from outside.
The tour also includes the Adalar Museum, where photographs, documents and local stories tell you more about the history, culture, architecture and daily life of the islands.
After the museum you return to the pier, take the ferry back with your guide and end the day at your hotel in Istanbul.
This is the end of our service. Thank you for travelling with us; we look forward to welcoming you again.
