Itinerary
:
If you feel the need to escape
from the bustle of Istanbul for
a day, nothing could be easier.
You simply join us aboard a
ferry bound for the charming
Princes’
Islands.
Our destination is
Buyukada,
the largest of the island chain,
but we will pass by four other
islands on the way. All are
famous for their mild climates,
lush vegetation and ornate
Ottoman houses, and on all of
them cars are banned. The
preferred means of
transportation is the charming
horse-drawn
carriage
known as the phaeton, which we
will use on our circular tour of
Buyukada,
passing
elegant
mansions
draped in
brilliant purple
bougainvillea.
You will feel as though you have
stepped back into a more
leisured and gracious age,
almost expecting grand 19th
century ladies and gentlemen to
come strolling down to the
waterfront on an afternoon
promenade.
Lunch
will be at one of the many
excellent traditional
fish-restaurants
on the
waterfront, gazing across the
water at the Asian shore of
Istanbul, so close though it
feels worlds
