Princes’ Islands Yacht Cruise
Another Istanbul — green, quiet, with no cars and no traffic. Eight hours on a private yacht, from the city’s waterfront across the Sea of Marmara to the Princes’ Islands, with their pine groves, old villas and quiet coves. Depending on the program, you’ll pass Kınalıada, Burgazada, Heybeliada and Büyükada, sunbathe on deck and, if the weather and the captain allow, stop for a swim. If going ashore is part of the plan, you can walk around an island or have lunch at a restaurant. You decide what the day is about: rest, the sea, photos or exploring the islands.
