Reviews
Experience was good! Set sail off at 945 and took about 40 mins went to the first island - nothing much walking around local grocers and produce, gelato shops went to boat for lunch - rice, chicken and meatball plus veggies - pretty decent they had vegetarian options too. Then it was sailing for about another 40 mins and then to the next island - same as the first i couldnt tell any difference. Personally found it pretty boring as theres nothing much to do there other than walk around but its a good option for the older gen i guess? the boat ride back was about 1.5hrs. Overall not so bad of an experience can try only if you have a free day to kill in Istanbul
Ferry and food was good. Guide was able to provide a very detailed update about the location and also shared additional information about Istanbul and famous Baklava shops. There was a bird available in the Ferry which was so cute.
The boat trip was fine and the lunch on board was OK. If you just want to see what Princes Islands is, you can go. But there was nothing on the island except for restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops. Everyone wore wreaths on their heads and rode bicycles. There are many more places to visit in Istanbul
Hidden gem of Istanbul. The island stole my heart. Best escape from the city’s chaos. Must visit 5/5
Amazing experience on the cruise with a lot of nice scene at both islands: peaceful, quiet and clean. Pets are playing and sleepinv in the street, worth to give a try.
nice break from the city! renting a bicycle around town is better- around 100-150lira. pack an umbrella!
This package is worth it, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins! It's a pity that we didn't have time to take pictures! The whole journey was relaxing! The tour guide was very professional. When we arrived at the big island (2 hours), there was no mandatory requirement for us to take bicycles! We were given free time!
Tour guide was very helpful but personally I think we should stop by the first island a bit longer and maybe spend less time at the second/main island.
Great tour to the 2 Islands. slightly disappointed with the start timings as we waited for almost 1 hour for few other guests. food can be avoided as the restaurants at the island serve amazing food. also recommend to take tour with transfers else it gets difficult to find transport on your return.
Escape the hustle and bustle of Istanbul with a boat trip to the islands. Step ashore and immerse yourself in the slow-paced island life, strolling leisurely through the charming streets. Both island stops offer free time for independent exploration. Spend half a day walking around, or rent a bicycle and explore the island at your own pace for a truly unique experience.
