Highlights of the Princes Island Tour
Our staff will come to your hotel to pick you up and transfer you to the meeting point. After meeting with other tour participants and tour guide, drive to the port to take the ferry to Princes Island. Princes Islands are famous for the Byzantian Princes, and beautiful pine woods and beaches. There are several islands close to each other. We will disembark in Big Island (Also, It is called Buyuk Ada). Buyuk Ada is the largest and most enjoyable of the islands. You will have free time to take pictures and self-exploration. Take the ferry back to Istanbul.
At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.

Brief Info about the sites :
Buyukada, it is called in English Big Island is the largest island among the Princes’ Islands in the Marmara Sea. It covers an area of 5.4 km², and the distance of the island to the nearest Maltepe shore is 2.3 km.
Big Island was used as an exile destination and as a monastery region during the Byzantine Christian period. The island was also used to exile the close relatives of kings and statesmen who might have threatened their political power. Furthermore, the island was also used as a prison for those who opposed the ones in power. One of the oldest structures on the island was a convent used for the exile of the Byzantine empress and for clergymen who lived in seclusion; however, this structure has not made it to the present day. Undoubtedly, one of the most interesting exiles to the convent, named Kadınlar Manastırı, was the Byzantine empresses, Irene, who had the monastery built.

The regular Princes Island tour has morning pick up from your hotel in Istanbul and transfer to a ferry boat for pass-through to the island. During your visit there you will have a chance for a ride in an electrically driven vehicle among the pine trees, lunch at the restaurant there and free time to explore the beautiful part of the island with the Turkish local tour guide, This is one of the most entertaining cruises in the Marmara Sea (Especially in summer).

“ İf you are planning to going for a holiday i can highly recommended you Turkish country that i have been visited couple of months ago.While i was there i had a chance to join some daily regular basis tours.But the one that i have joined called Princess island tour was impressed me so much.Because the island is one of the oldest settlement of Istanbul because of this reason is seems very pretty and its giving you chances to fallowing the footprints of the history.Highly recommended.”

“ Unbedingt empfehlenswert wenn man in İstanbul ist.Ein ganz anderes İstanbul.Ganz anders als man sich İstanbul vorstellt.Mit Schwimmmöglichkeiten,an all den İnseln die wir angefahren haben.Mit Kutschenfahrt wie die Sultane es früher genossen haben.War wunderschön.....”

Die Prinzenn Inseln waren genau das richtige.Ein Tag richtig zum abstressen. Hat unseren Kindern sehr gut gepasst. Auch das offene Buffet war super und hat für alle gereicht. Unbedingt zu empfehlen!!”

“ Wir waren mit der ganzen Familie in Istanbul und haben die Bootsfahrt zwischen zwei Kontinenten gemacht. Einmalig wundervoll..... Es hatte viele Leute aus der ganzen Welt mit denen wir zusammen gefeiert haben. Alle waren glücklich und zufrieden,weil der Service und alles hat gestimmt. Eines der Höhenpunkte in Istanbul was mann nicht verpassen sollte. Nur die Preise sind verschieden. Hier haben wir es am günstigsten gefunden und auch bevorzugt. Alles super organisiert und pünktlich. Danke nochmals an alle,vor allem an Herrn Yasin,der auch perfekt deutsch spricht und uns sehr behilflich war in allen Punkten.”

“ Nous ne savions pas que Istanbul a aussi un côté paisible. A été ideal pour enlevé de beaucoup de bruit et de la circulation. Nous sommes dans un village calme donc nous voulions aussi quelque chose de calme pour se détendre. Les îles des Princes ce sont unique chose que nous recommandons vraiment. Le buffet était excellent et très varié. Nous avons également été en mesure de nager nous avions manqué droite. Dans l'ensemble nous avons aimé très bien et nous y retournerons. Merci pour les bons conseils de Monsieur Yasin. Nous sommes pour la prochaine fois la Turquie certainement être de retour cette agence Contact.”
