This Princes' Islands tour takes you from Istanbul to the enchanting car-free archipelago in the Sea of Marmara — one of the most popular day trips from Istanbul. This comprehensive 8-hour princess island tour begins with a scenic ferry ride from the meeting point, offering sweeping views of the Istanbul skyline. Your first stop is Büyükada, the largest island, where elegant Victorian-era wooden mansions line pine-shaded streets. Hop on for a guided tour around the island, discovering hidden monasteries, panoramic hilltop viewpoints, and quiet beaches. After a traditional Turkish lunch at a seaside restaurant, enjoy free time for relaxation and photography. The Istanbul prince islands ferry ride itself is a highlight — a scenic 90-minute journey past the Asian shoreline.
