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.
