Pick up from the hotel in the morning and transfer to the port. Board the boat and start for the relaxing trip to the Princes’ Islands. This trip takes you to Heybeliada and Buyukada.
Our first destination is Heybeliada. Take a stroll through the streets with your guide and breathe the fresh atmosphere of the island. Spend around one hour in Heybeliada and board the boat again to proceed to Buyukada.
Buyukada is the largest of the Princes Islands. Explore the beauties of the island with your guide, learn more about the history of the island. Your guide will tell you how Princes Islands once was used as a place of exile for banished statesmen and royalty, and how life as a monastic settlement was during the Byzantine-Christian period.
In Buyukada, walk past the lovely wooden mansions which are fascinating examples of the island’s late Ottoman-era architecture. Feed the seagulls that you can find everywhere in Buyukada. It will be a nice experience for you.
