About this tour

Trade the noise of the city for a day of peace, nature, and nostalgia on a Princess Islands Tour — one of Istanbul’s most beloved full-day getaways. This relaxing cruise takes you across the Sea of Marmara to Büyükada, the largest of the nine Princes’ Islands, where cars are banned and time seems to slow down.
