About this activity
Princes' Islands Boat Tour with Lunch
A string of car-free islands floats in the Sea of Marmara just off Istanbul. This daily cruise runs from 10:30 to 17:30 and combines music on deck a lunch served on board and free time on two very different islands.
Saluting the Maiden's Tower
The boat begins with a loop around the Maiden's Tower giving you a close look at one of the most recognisable silhouettes in the city.
Beats on the Marmara Breeze
A DJ sets the mood as the skyline fades behind you and the islands appear on the horizon.
Burgazada at a Slower Tempo
The first stop is Burgazada where you have about an hour to wander quiet lanes lined with old wooden houses and seaside cafés.
A Plate Served Between Islands
Back on board lunch is offered before the boat continues to Büyükada.
Two Free Hours on Büyükada
The largest island gives you two hours to explore as you please. Rent a bicycle visit historic sites settle into a café or take a swim in the warm months.
