Customer Reviews
Бюйюкада — остров-мечта! Велосипеды, сосны, море и ни одной машины. Идеальный день для отдыха от мегаполиса. Паром — отдельное удовольствие.
Принцевы острова — настоящий рай! Никаких машин, только тишина и красивая природа. Кошки острова стали главными фотомоделями!
What a wonderful escape from the busy city! The ferry ride was beautiful, the islands are charming with their wooden villas and friendly cats everywhere.
Очень понравилась прогулка! Монастырь Святого Георгия с видами на море — это что-то особенное. Хотелось бы немного больше свободного времени.
Острова влюбили в себя! Деревянные виллы, уютные кафе, котики повсюду. Обед с видом на море — чудесно. Спасибо за прекрасную организацию!
Absolutely lovely day trip! The islands feel like stepping back in time. No cars, just bicycles and horse carriages. So peaceful and beautiful.
Such a peaceful day away from the city buzz! The ferry ride offers beautiful views of Istanbul. Loved every minute on the island.
