Princes' Islands, Buyukada (Big Island), which
served as a place of exile for disgraced princes
in days gone by. Today it is a quiet sea front
town and summer holiday escape from the city. Leaving
the Golden Horn you will round Sarayburnu (Seraglio
Point), the headland on which the domes and minarets
of Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque
can be seen. Upon arrival to the island, you will
see the lavish Ottoman mansions and other beautiful
Victorian summer villas around the island by horse-drawn
carriage tour - one of the islands only means of
transport, for motor-vehicles are strictly prohibited.
There are colorful fruit trees, beautiful gardens, wooded areas
and exotic flowers to be seen everywhere. Afterwards, you can
enjoy a delicious lunch in a cozy sea-side fish restaurant
and relax looking back at the domes and minarets among skyscrapers
of modern Istanbul's skyline.
This a perfect day for relaxing and enjoying one of Istanbul's
residents' favorite summer retreats. Return by ferry and drop
off to hotel or port.
