Amazing Bosphorus in Istanbul
📍The start point is Kabatas Pier.
📍You can buy the ticket next to the ticket office to Prince Islands. There are lots of options of boat trips for everyone: one way, round trip, with stops on a route, evening tours, private tours etc. Choose one that you like! I bought round trip. It took at around 45 minutes.
Boats leave the pier every hour.
✅Find the best place on a boat and enjoy the view! You will see absolutely different panorama of the city from the sea side. European and Asian parts of the city will be in front of you. It’s a good opportunity to take stunning photos. Seagulls will follow the boat , so you will be able even to feed them :)
Boat trip around Bosphorus is a perfect way to have a rest after a long walk all around the city.

Prince Island: Escape to Serenity
#getgoing2025
Prince Island felt like a breath of fresh air after the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. No cars, just horse-drawn carriages and bicycles, which makes the whole place feel peaceful and timeless. I rented a bike and explored the island’s winding streets, stopping at quaint cafes and taking in the views of the sea. The Victorian-style houses and pine forests make it feel like a world of its own. It’s the perfect day trip to relax and recharge.

Highlights - Cycling! There are many places to rent a bicycle. You can rent one hour or while day. For one hour ride, you will most likely ride to the center of the island and then back to the starting point, which is good enough for causal rider.

Princes’s Islands
Beach vacation in Istanbul? It’s possible!!! You can run away from the busy city and organize a short vacation on the Prince’s Islands.
It’s a great tourist destination, especially in summer! Usually, it’s a one day trip for tourists and locals, but it’s possible to stay there longer, to rent a hotel and explore the islands better. There are lots of things to see there and lots of places to visit.
You can take a ferry from European or Asian part of the city. Road will take at around 1 hour. Beaches there are rocky, so there are pontoons all around to make “diving” process easier.
If it’s possible and you have enough days plan your journey during the weekdays. On the weekend islands are full of locals.
It’s a great place! Come and enjoy the nature and the sea!

When I fir
When I first heard about Prince Island, I was deeply attracted by this name. The prince and the island, no matter which word they use, are full of infinite imagination, and the brain fills up a beautiful love story. Which girl does not have a dream about the prince? Moreover, this is still a deported prince who has been exiled on the isolated island of the sea, away from home, alone, romantic and sad. It makes people feel like a man, and only wants to hold a sword, wading through the mountains, smashing the thorns, and removing the dragons and dragons, saving the prince in the water and fire, even if the body is broken.
Prince Island is not an island, but an island of nine islands. About 20 kilometers southeast of Istanbul, these islands are like a grain of pearls scattered in the Marmara Sea, the world's smallest sea. The locals call it Adalar, which means the island. Four of the main major islands are Knalada, Burgazada, Heybeliada and Bykada, which are closest to Istanbul. The most suitable for tourism is also the largest Bykada island

The Prince
The Princes Islands are the back gardens of Istanbul. An hours boat ride will take you to four different islands. Walking here, there is a feeling of chaos into the European town. Not many people have come to Istanbul to understand this route, so enjoy these quiet islands! ##
