After our boat tour, which we will enjoy accompanied by the unique views of the Bosphorus, historic waterfront mansions, and the city’s enchanting silhouette, we head out for our islands tour.

HEYBELİADA

One of the pearls of the Sea of Marmara, Heybeliada is one of Istanbul’s most special spots with its natural beauty, historic structures, and peaceful atmosphere. With its lush pine forests, historic mansions, and nostalgic streets, it offers visitors a delightful experience that spans from past to present.

During our tour of Heybeliada, we see one of the island’s most important historic buildings, the Aya Triada Greek Orthodox Theological School. Founded in 1844 and considered one of the important educational centers of the Orthodox world, this historic building is one of the island’s remarkable symbols with its architecture and unique location.

Throughout our island tour, guests who wish may walk along the historic streets, explore the beautiful mansions, spend pleasant time along the coastline, or take a coffee break overlooking the sea.

 

BÜYÜKADA

The next stop of our tour is Büyükada, the largest of the Istanbul Islands.

With its historic mansions, roads adorned with colorful flowers, quiet streets, and distinctive atmosphere, Büyükada is one of Istanbul’s most beloved escape destinations. Thanks to the absence of motor vehicles, it offers a peaceful island experience, and on Büyükada we have the opportunity to discover architectural structures and natural beauty that have survived from past to present.

During our island tour, we see one of Büyükada’s most important symbols, the Aya Yorgi Church and Monastery. Located on Yücetepe, one of the highest points of the island, Aya Yorgi offers visitors an unforgettable atmosphere with its historical texture and magnificent view of Istanbul. This special point, where faith, history, and nature come together, is one of Büyükada’s most visited stops.

Guests who wish may discover Büyükada’s natural beauty and historic spots by touring the island with electric vehicles, take a walk along the coast, or enjoy a pleasant break overlooking the sea.

After our island tours, we return to Eminönü by boat.

 

 EMİNÖNÜ – SPICE BAZAAR

We give about 1 hour 30 minutes of free time at the Spice Bazaar, one of Istanbul’s oldest and most colorful shopping spots.

Within its historic atmosphere, we have the opportunity to discover spices, Turkish delight, local products, souvenirs, and traditional flavors. After a pleasant shopping and discovery break in the heart of Istanbul, we make our return preparations.

After meeting at the designated time, we begin our return journey to Çorlu.

With the Çorlu Travel privilege, a delightful day awaits you where you will experience the unique views of the Bosphorus, the tranquility of the Istanbul Islands, and the historic atmosphere of Eminönü together.
