• Sultanahmet District - There is no better way to escape the bustle of Istanbul for a day than with a visit to the idyllic Princes’ Islands. Enjoy cool breezes and charming sights along the way to Büyükada, the largest Island in the chain. Famous for their mild climates, lush vegetation, and ornate Ottoman Houses, all the islands are unspoiled by traffic. Instead of cars there are carriages, called phaetons, which we will use to tour the island and its beautiful scenery studded with elegant mansions draped with purple bougainvillea, reminiscent of a more leisured and graceful era. We will enjoy our lunch at the best of one of the many excellent fresh fish restaurants that line the waterfront, gazing across the Asian shore of Istanbul, so close - though it feels worlds away.

Take a day off from the hustle of Istanbul and unwind in the tranquil Princes’ Islands. Revel in the cool winds and appealing sights en route to Büyükada, the chain’s biggest Island. Known for their temperate climates, rich flora, and intricate Ottoman Houses, all the islands remain untouched by vehicular pollution. We ditch the cars for quaint horse-drawn carriages known as phaetons, touring the island’s picturesque vistas replete with grand residences adorned by radiant purple bougainvillea, encapsulating the elegance of a bygone epoch. Our lunch will be served at one of the top-notch fresh seafood restaurants dotting the seaside, as we gaze at Istanbul’s Asian side, so near, yet so wonderfully distant.
