This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Buyukada Tabiat Parki, 06510 Turkey

Buyukada, literally “Big Island” in Turkish,

is the original Princes' Island, and the largest

and most populated of the Princes’ Islands.

Buyukada was used as an exile destination

and as a monastery region during the

Byzantine Christian period. During the

Byzantium history the island was also used

as a prison for those who were opposing the

Emperor. It was Buyukada where the

Byzantine empresses Irene and Zoe and Anna Dalassena were sent on exile. After his deportation from the

Soviet Union in February 1929, Leon Trotsky also stayed for four years on Buyukada. We see mansions,

palaces, churches, convents and much more... We meet the guide at the pier and take the regular cruise boat

to the island.

Duration: 8 hours
