Istanbul Island Escape
Overview
Most visitors to Istanbul never make it to the islands—but they’re missing out on one of the city’s most peaceful and culturally rich escapes. This full-day guided experience takes you beyond the tourist zones to explore a quieter, more authentic side of Istanbul.
Once you arrive at the island, begin your day like a local—with a traditional Turkish tea or coffee at a cozy neighborhood café. If you’re curious, take part in a lighthearted fortune reading, a playful and beloved local tradition.
Continue your stroll through charming island streets lined with pine trees, colorful wooden houses, and quiet corners far from the crowds.
To round out the experience, enjoy a leisurely lunch of authentic island cuisine at a favorite local spot, where you can relax, chat, and take in the laid-back island vibe.
Designed to feel like a mini vacation within your trip, this tour offers a scenic, cultural, and personal side of Istanbul that few get to experience.
