Detailed Itinerary

Princes Islands Day Trip from Istanbul
First you’ll be picked up from your hotel or ship and transferred to pier to board the beautiful Zoe Yacht.

Once aboard you’ll enjoy a cruise from Istanbul to one of the Princes’ Islands, sailing by private yacht. Admire views of Istanbul from the water, explore the island, and swim or relax in a secluded bay.

Take a leisurely sail from Istanbul to one of the idyllic Princes’ Islands, a summer retreat located in the Marmara Sea. This 6-hour activity is the perfect way to cool down during the heat of summer!

After boarding the Zoe yacht, you’ll set off on a 90-minute cruise, crossing the southern end of the Bosporus. Take in the views of Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque, and of the Asian side of the city as you sail along the Marmara Sea.

When you arrive at the islands, you’ll have around 3 hours of free time to relax, explore, or enjoy a typical island lunch at one of the waterfront fish restaurants (at your own expense). Optionally you could choose from the light lunch menu on board that features a mix of Turkish mezze appetizers (reservation required; additional charge).

While there, why not enjoy a stroll through the village or take a horse carriage tour of the island (cost of carriage ride not included). Or if you’d like to spend some time swimming, you can cut short your time on shore by an hour and then later stop in a secluded bay to enjoy a swim.

Time flies and soon you’ll be on the 90-minute sail back to Istanbul. Lounge in the sun or enjoy a peaceful siesta en route. Disembark the yacht and we’ll transfer you back to your hotel or ship.

Optional Light Lunch Menu:

Light Lunch is an optional extra or you can go ashore on the islands to dine where you wish. See a choice of menus here from 25 Euro per person.
