Precious gifts from Istanbul to all of you!
All of the islands are famous for their mild climate, lush vegetation and ornate Ottoman houses. Cars are strictly prohibited, that’s why transportation can only be provided by horse-drawn carriages which are known as phaetons and bikes. But this restriction is that makes the islands even more unique!
Our destination is Buyukada (Pringipos in Greek), which is the largest of the isles. A 1,5 hour journey until you get there, through beautiful landscapes! The moment we arrive on the last island, horse-drawn carriages will be waiting for us at the park so we can start an enjoyable ride through the pine trees and the narrow roads. You can even ask for some spare time to visit Aya Yorgi -a monastery on the top of the hill- which is an impressive place.
Of course you will have free time for wandering around the island. Don’t miss the famous water pipe/hookah, which is the Turkish nargile while drinking a very tasteful Turkish coffee…
