PRINCESS' ISLANDS CRUISE
Duration: Full day (08:30 to 17:30)
Price: 70 Euro (per person)
Run: Everyday
After pick up from hotel or Istanbul port, we will drive to
the Emionu Harbor to embark Istanbul City Boat for the Princess’ Islands
tour.
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 Buyukkada,
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.
After the tour, you will be transferred back to the hotel or
Istanbul cruise port.
