About this activity

The journey begins on the Asian side of Istanbul. A scenic 40-minute ferry ride takes guests to a charming island, offering beautiful sea views along the way and insights into local island life.

Each island has its own distinct style, atmosphere, and cuisine. This experience offers a deeper look into local life and how people live beyond the city’s main tourist hotspots.

While walking through the island’s charming streets, guests explore the diverse flavors of Turkish cuisine and discover local food spots that reflect everyday island culture.

Beyond tasting local food, the experience provides cultural context and a local perspective on Istanbul’s history and modern life through the unique setting of the Princes’ Islands.
