Live a unique experience when visiting Istanbul. Don't miss this full day tour (operates all year round) with an exlusive cruise in the Marmara Sea to the Princes' Islands by boat.

Stop at Büyükada (meaning “big island”), the popular summer resort with pinewood scenery and wooden mansions, once the pleasure island of Byzantine Princes.

Since motorized vehicles are fobidden you'll get the chance to tour the island by horse-drawn carriages before you enjoy a delicious lunch at a fish restaurant.

From the boat you'll also have the opportunity to take a picture of Topkapi Palace, Leander's Tower and Üsküdar.

In the evening you'll get back to your hotel.

Excellent tour made great by Yosemite our guide who was informative and friendly.

Unser Guide Ugur war sehr nett und freundlich, sprach allerdings kein Deutsch (gebucht hatten wir eine Tour auf Deutsch). Seit 7 Jahren existieren keine Pferdekutschen mehr - die Rundfahrt mit einem Elektrobus war mit 10 min viel zu schnell, um wirklich die Insel kennenzulernen. Das Essen war in Ordnung, allerdings nicht (wie angekündigt) in einem der zahlreichen Fischrestaurants am deutlich schöner gelegenen Hafen. Die Zwangsbesichtigung in einer Ledermanufaktur war sehr unangenehm. Schade ;-(
