En route, we’ll pass four charming islands, adorned with quaint Ottoman houses, before reaching our destination, Buyukada, the largest of the islands.
Princes’ Island (Buyuk Ada): Once on the island, you’ll be greeted by the sight of opulent Ottoman mansions and Victorian summer villas dotting the landscape. Our walking tour will guide you past these elegant old wooden residences amidst stunning natural scenery. Savour a delectable lunch at a quaint sea-side fish restaurant while taking in views of Istanbul’s distinctive skyline, a mix of modern skyscrapers and historic domes and minarets.
