Itinerary
Escape the busy streets of Istanbul and enjoy an unforgettable 6-hour swimming boat tour on the beautiful Marmara Sea. Depart from the Haliç (Golden Horn) docks and cruise along Istanbul’s coastline, admiring panoramic views of the city skyline before heading toward the peaceful waters surrounding the Princes’ Islands.
As we head towards the swimming area, you can admire the view of the other islands we pass.
Located in the Marmara Sea, the islands are famous for their natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, charming landscapes, and tranquil atmosphere away from the crowds of the city. During the tour, the boat will make several swimming stops in carefully selected bays and secluded areas known for their calm waters. Take a refreshing swim, sunbathe on the spacious deck, or simply relax while enjoying the sea breeze and spectacular views of Istanbul and the islands.
At the end of the tour, the boat will return to Istanbul and you will be dropped off at the pier where you were picked up.
