You'll be picked up from your hotel or chosen location between 08:00 and 09:15. You then meet your guide at the port and board the boat for the Prince's Islands tour. After a pleasant 1-hour boat ride, you'll reach Heybeliada, the greenest and second-largest of the islands, though destinations may vary.
With your guide, you'll have free time to explore Heybeliada. Next, you'll head to Büyükada. After your guide provides key information, you'll break for lunch to enjoy delicious Turkish dishes. Post-lunch, you'll have free time to explore further or taste local flavors.
In summer, you might get the chance to swim on the island. After your free time, you'll meet up with your guide at the agreed point and return to Istanbul.
