Full Day Exploration of Büyükada: Horse-drawn Carriage & Bicycle

Discover Istanbul's largest and most popular island, Büyükada, on a full-day adventure. With a ban on motor vehicles, you'll spend a leisurely day exploring the island by horse-drawn carriage and bicycle. After taking the ferry to the island in the morning, we will ascend to the Aya Yorgi Church at the top of the island in an electric carriage. From here, enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the Sea of Marmara. Lunch will be at a famous restaurant on the island (including a fish menu). Afterward, we will cycle along the coastal path of the island — through pine forests, sea-scented trails, and hidden coves. Our final stop will be a walk among the island's historic wooden mansions. These stunning villas from the Ottoman era are some of the most photogenic spots on the island. Return by ferry in the evening — the silhouette of Istanbul at sunset is breathtaking.
