A 6-hour escape from the city to two car-free islands — Büyükada and Kınalıada — with lunch and hotel transfer included, and nothing but bicycles and horse-drawn carriages for traffic.
Just off the coast of Istanbul, in the Sea of Marmara, sits a small cluster of islands where cars have been banned for over a century. The Princes' Islands tour — known locally as Adalar — takes you to two of them: Büyükada, the largest, with its pastel Victorian-era mansions and quiet, tree-lined lanes, and Kınalıada, smaller and closer to the mainland. It's the same day trip regulars call an Adalar tour and first-time visitors call the Princes' Islands day trip — a full 6 hours away from the city's traffic, with lunch included and hotel pickup and drop-off handled for you.
