Istanbul Princess Island
Tour - Full Day Tour
Take a leisurely 28-kilometer
cruise through the Sea of Marmara to the unspoiled charms of
Buyukada. The largest of the Prince's Islands, Buyukada boasts lush
foliage, pine forests, turn of the century wooden mansions and
incomparable views of Istanbul. Best of all, cars are banned, so you
travel by horse-drawn carriage.
A little history of the sights
If you feel the need to escape from the bustle of Istanbul for a day,
nothing could be easier. You simply join us aboard a ferry bound for
the charming Princes' Islands.
Our destination is Buyukada, the largest of the island chain,
but we will pass by four other islands on the way.
All are famous for their mild climates, lush vegetation and ornate
Ottoman houses, and on all of them cars are banned.
The preferred means of transportation is the charming horse- drawn
carriage known as the phaeton, which we will use on our circular
tour of Buyukada, passing elegant mansions draped in brilliant
purple bougainvillea.
You will feel as though you have stepped back into a more leisured
and gracious age, almost expecting grand 19th century ladies and
gentlemen to come strolling down to the waterfront on an afternoon
promenade.
Lunch will be at one of the many excellent traditional fish-
restaurants on the waterfront, gazing across the water at the Asian
shore of Istanbul, so close though it feels worlds away.
Evening return to Istanbul and transfer to your hotel.
Also visioned during the tour: Topkapi Palace, Leander's Tower,
Uskudar from the sea.
