Although the islands are within Istanbul, it's an excellent choice to have a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city at least for one day. You will easily leave yourself to the passion of your tour guide to discover the opposite face of Istanbul on the island. All of the islands are known for their delicate climates, lush vegetation and ornate Ottoman mansions. Cars are forbidden on each of them. That’s why, transportation are supplied by carts that are called as phaetons, and by bicycles.
1,5-hour journey by ferry will fetch you to a paradise that contains harmony of the natural colors. Our destination is Buyukada that is the largest one of the islands. Phaetons will meet us at the park and we will begin a lovely ride through the trees that makes us revive.
You will have free time as well to wander around the island. You can climb to the hill on which Aya Yorgi Monastery takes place or you can try hookah which is Nargile in Turkish while sipping your Turkish coffee in your free time. Another option is renting a bike to discover the island while you are free. One of the most popular city tours istanbul.
