Overview

Our island tour includes visits to two beautiful destinations: Kınaliada Or Heybeliada and Büyükada.

We begin by boarding our private boat at 09:00 for a delightful one-hour sea journey accompanied by our guide’s explanations. Our first stop is Kinaliada or Heybeliada, where you will enjoy one hour of free time to explore the island’s charming, unique architecture and atmosphere.

Afterwards, we continue our trip towards Büyükada. During this journey, you will savor a delicious onboard lunch while also enjoying the scenic views of the other islands along the way.

Upon arrival at Büyükada, the largest and most comprehensive of the Princes’ Islands, you will have 2.5 hours of free time. Here, you can rent a bicycle, explore the island, or simply relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.

On our return to Istanbul, we will make a special stop at a local leather factory, where you will experience a short fashion show. Finally, we will drop you back at your hotels.
