From Kadıköy İskelesi, we’ll board a public ferry for a scenic 40-minute ride to one of the Princes’ Islands. During the journey, your local guide will point out Istanbul’s iconic landmarks along the coastline and share fascinating insights into the city's rich history and incredible size — stretching across two continents.

As we glide across the Bosphorus and into the Marmara Sea, you'll enjoy panoramic views of Istanbul’s skyline, seagulls flying beside the ferry, and the peaceful transition from urban life to island calm. It's the perfect way to begin your island escape.

On Burgazada, one of the lesser-known but most charming of the Princes' Islands, travelers will experience a peaceful break from the city's fast pace. With no cars allowed on the island, you’ll enjoy tranquil streets lined with pine trees, colorful historic mansions, and stunning sea views.

Your local guide will lead you on a relaxed walk through the island’s picturesque neighborhoods, sharing stories of its multicultural past, including Greek and Armenian influences. You'll visit scenic viewpoints, stop for local snacks or ice cream, and have free time to explore, swim, or simply enjoy the calm atmosphere.
