About this trip

The Princes’ Islands are a short sail from Istanbul and feel like another country: no private cars, wooden mansions behind bougainvillea, and pine woods running down to the water.

The boat calls at two islands. Büyükada is the largest, known for its grand old houses and long seafront. Kınalıada is the closest to the city and the smallest of the main islands, good for a walk and a swim stop in season.

Lunch is served as part of the day, and the crew keeps the deck lively with songs and games on the way out and back.
