Overview

Escape the city for a relaxing private day trip to the Princess Islands, where history, nature, and delicious local flavors come together.

We’ll meet at Kabataş Ferry Station and enjoy a scenic one-hour ferry ride across the Marmara Sea, complete with tea and simit and beautiful views.

Our main stop is Burgazada — the most peaceful and authentic of the islands. Wander its quiet streets, try local foods and drinks, and if you're up for it, enjoy a traditional Turkish coffee fortune reading.

We'll also take you to a hidden stone bay — perfect for relaxing or going for a swim. Just don’t forget to bring swimming shoes if you'd like to get in the water. And for a little thrill, we can even arrange a quick speed boat ride — on us!

Want something more exclusive? We offer private pickup, drop-off, and sea transportation for added comfort.

  • Kadikoy Iskelesi
    We will meet in front of the Kadıköy–Beşiktaş Ferry Station to take our ferry to the islands. The ferry ride takes around one hour. If another port is closer to you, we’re happy to arrange to meet there—just ask! We can also organize a private transfer from your accommodation or private sea transportation. Just let us know.
  • Burgazada
    We’ll arrive at Burgazada, the most peaceful and authentic of the four Princess Islands. To settle into the island’s calm vibe, we’ll start with a delicious coffee or tea, enjoyed with a beautiful sea view.
  • After our coffee, we’ll begin our walk — and our first stop is the former home of one of the most important authors in Turkish literature. Yes, this is the very house he once lived in. (pass by)
  • We will visit one of the most important churches on the island, Aya Yani Kilisesi. It's up to you whether you'd like to go inside, but even from the outside, you can admire its unique Greek Orthodox church architecture.
  • Next, we’ll head to a hidden beach named after the island’s most famous woman of the time. Here, you’ll find a beautiful stone bay with all the unique essentials for a peaceful escape by the sea. If you’d like to swim and relax, please bring your swimsuit and swimming shoes, as it’s a rocky bay. It’s definitely one of the most unique places to swim in Istanbul.
  • After a short hike from the beach, we’ll pass by a mosque that features island-style architecture and offers stunning views of the islands from inside. We can visit the mosque, or if you'd prefer, you can simply enjoy the views — it’s all up to you! Afterwards, we can enjoy an island-style lunch or take a fun speed boat ride to say goodbye to the islands. If you'd prefer not to have lunch on the island, you’re welcome to head back with the next available ferry with your guide — totally up to you!
