    The pick up was very late and did not answer our messages or calls. The Islands were nothing special. The boat trip was nice but a bit disorganized.

    Instead of returning at 15.00, we returned at 18.00, because we were taken to a leather clothing factory and given a "fashion show" in order to shop, which was NOT EVER MENTIONED IN THE TICKETS. The result was that we had to change our plans. Tragic!

    Well organized pickup, enough time to make walks when we were on the islands. Affordable with lunch included. We didn't like so much the promotion of leather clothes at the end of the tour.
  • Visit two of the Princes' islands, Kınalıada and Büyükada, and enjoy a buffet lunch on board.

    Sail to Kınalıada

    Enjoy a hotel transfer to Istanbul port, from where you will take a boat to Kınalıada. Learn about the island as you take a short walking tour with your guide. Hop back on board to satisfy your hunger with a hearty lunch buffet.

    Büyükada, the largest of the nine islands

    At Büyükada, the largest of the nine islands, explore the old-style mansions with their characteristic balconies at your own pace. The island has two hills: İsa Tepesi (Hristos) in the north and Yüce Tepe (Aya Yorgi) in the south. The Maden district has stately buildings, whereas the Nizam area is home to the most exquisite mansions. You can also take an energizing swim or spend some quiet time on the pristine beach.

    Rent an electric bike or scooter

    Rent an electric bike or scooter at Büyükada to explore the mansions. Admire the enchanting red pine trees native to Turkey. You have plenty of free time to discover the monasteries, mansions, museums, and other charming structures on the island at your own pace.

    The Greek Orthodox monastery of Hagios Georgios Koudonas (St George of the Bells) on Yüce Tepe is the most-visited tourist spot at Büyükada, followed by the Greek Orthodox monastery dedicated to Sotiros Christou (Christ the Saviour), which stands atop İsa Tepesi. You'll also find a huge Greek Orthodox Orphanage (Rum Yetimhanesi in Turkish) at İsa Tepesi. It is believed to be the largest wooden construction in Europe and the second-largest in the world.
