Full description

Cruise across the deep-blue waters of the Marmara Sea on a boat tour departing from Istanbul. Experience two of the nearby Princes's Islands, Büyükada and Kınalıada, with free time to explore each. Enjoy a hotel transfer and a delicious lunch on board.

Get picked up from your hotel in Istanbul, then head to the port to board your boat. Set sail into the mesmerizing ocean surrounding the city and navigate to Kınalıada. Take a short walking tour with your guide and learn about the island along the way.

Hop back on the boat and eat a lunch to recharge your energy before traveling to your next destination. Make a stop at Büyükada, the largest of the nine islands, and have plenty of free time to discover at your own pace. Relax on the quiet beaches and go for a refreshing swim.

Alternatively, rent an electric bike or scooter, as cars aren't allowed on the island. Ride conveniently among the glorious mansions with their characteristic balconies. Finally, get back on the boa for your return trip to Istanbul, then sit back on the ride to your hotel.

Was a good day trip. for the price it's worth it. it's all very Basic setup, nothing extravagant, but food was ok, and overall well organized. this is a cheap way to get to the islands and explore on your own. this is what I prefer, so it worked out for me. I left early hoping to grab breakfast before boarding the boat, but there are no restaurants open in the area on the pickup point. kinda screwed myself there and had to have a bag of popcorn and a bottle of water for breakfast from the limited options on the boat. so make sure you eat before you get to the meeting point. other than that, good value for price paid.

Loved the whole experience. We were picked up at 8 as we were farthest. The boat had nice seating and food was alright too. The islands were beautiful and a good break from the bustle of the city. The leather shop at the end was superfluous but timepass.
