Princes' Islands Day Trip from Istanbul

About This Tour

Take a refreshing break from Istanbul's vibrant energy with a day trip to the Princes' Islands (Adalar), a group of nine islands in the Sea of Marmara. These peaceful islands offer a glimpse into a slower pace of life, with no cars allowed (except service vehicles), making them perfect for walking, cycling, or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride. The main destination is Büyükada (Big Island), the largest and most popular of the islands. Here you'll find charming Victorian-era wooden mansions, pine forests, beautiful beaches, and stunning views of the sea. Explore the island on foot or by bicycle, visit the historic Greek Orthodox monastery, enjoy fresh seafood at a waterfront restaurant, or simply relax on the beach. The ferry ride itself is part of the experience, offering beautiful views of Istanbul's skyline and the Bosphorus. This is the perfect escape for those seeking tranquility, natural beauty, and a taste of old-world charm just a short ferry ride from the city.
