Istanbul: Princes Islands Tour with Hotel Transfer & Lunch

Hotel Pickup & Transfer to the Boat Guests who select the transfer option will be picked up from their hotels or specified addresses between 08:00 and 09:15 and comfortably transferred to the departure port. Guests who book the tour without transfer service must arrive at the designated meeting point on their own before the departure time.

Boat Journey & Kınalıada Visit After meeting the guide at the port, board the boat and enjoy an approximately 1 hour and 20 minute cruise across the Sea of Marmara. During the journey, admire the beautiful views of Istanbul from the water. The first stop is Kınalıada (or occasionally another island depending on operational conditions), where guests will have free time to walk around and enjoy the peaceful island atmosphere.

Büyükada Visit & Free Time The tour then continues to Büyükada, the largest and most popular of the Princes’ Islands. Lunch will be served on the boat during the tour. After the guide provides important information about the island, guests will have approximately 2.5 to 3 hours of free time to explore the island, discover its historic streets and beautiful mansions, rent a bicycle or electric vehicle, relax at cafés, or swim during the summer season.

Return to Istanbul, Shopping Stop & Hotel Drop-Off After the free time on Büyükada, guests will meet the guide at the designated meeting point and board the boat back to Istanbul. Before the tour ends, there will be a short shopping stop. Guests with transfer service will then be dropped off at their hotels, while guests without transfer service may leave the tour at the port area independently.
