Istanbul: Princes' Islands Cruise with Lunch & Transfer Tour with Lunch at the Meeting Point

Set sail on a cruise to the Princes' Islands from Istanbul. Enjoy a delicious lunch on board, explore the islands of Kınalıada and Büyükada, and take in the views of the Historic Peninsula.
Leave the busy streets of Istanbul behind as you are whisked away from your hotel directly to the departure port or meet at the port directly.

Step aboard a spacious cruise vessel and set sail across the sparkling waters of the Sea of Marmara. As the city fades into the distance, be treated to spectacular, unobstructed views of the iconic Historic Peninsula.

Your first island getaway is Kınalıada. Though smaller than its neighbors, it offers a beautifully calm atmosphere and a pristine coastline, making it the perfect spot for a short, scenic stroll to stretch your legs.

Next, cruise onward to Büyükada, the crown jewel of the Princes' Islands archipelago. Famous for its grand Ottoman-era wooden mansions and complete lack of motorized traffic, Büyükada feels like stepping back in time. Have generous free time to roam the pine-shaded paths, sip Turkish coffee by the shore, or rent a bicycle to explore at your own pace.

When hunger strikes, return to the boat for a lunch prepared fresh by the crew. Dine on grilled chicken, traditional pilaf, seasonal salad, and a sweet local dessert while floating peacefully on the water. Conclude your island-hopping adventure with a breezy return voyage, finishing with a convenient transfer back to your Istanbul accommodation, if opted.
