Rejuvenation in the island air
Arriving on the island by ferry in the morning was a delightful experience. After a warm welcome, we went on a walking tour with our guide. Lunch was simple but delicious. It was a peaceful getaway with fresh air.

I had an amazing Island tour and truly enjoyed every moment of it. The scenery was beautiful, the organization was excellent, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. A special thanks to Mahsun for his kindness, professionalism, and helpful attitude throughout the trip. He made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!

The perfect escape from the crowded streets of Istanbul! The boat ride to the Princes' Islands was beautiful, and the islands themselves are peaceful and charming with stunning historic mansions. Walking around and enjoying the nature was incredibly relaxing.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Princes Island Full Day Tour - Kinaliada & Buyukada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Princes Island Full Day Tour - Kinaliada & Buyukada cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Princes Island Full Day Tour - Kinaliada & Buyukada take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Princes Island Full Day Tour - Kinaliada & Buyukada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Princes Island Full Day Tour - Kinaliada & Buyukada?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Princes Island Full Day Tour - Kinaliada & Buyukada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Princes Island Full Day Tour - Kinaliada & Buyukada?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Princes Island Full Day Tour - Kinaliada & Buyukada start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
