The easiest and fastest way,
Meet the princess system
Take a cruise to the Princess Islands from Eminonu Ferry Terminal in central Istanbul. You can use it right away by showing the voucher you reserved at WAUG at the ticket booth. The cruise departs 4 times a day and returns in the evening, so you can conveniently use it at any time. Princess Islands have some of the best views in Istanbul. In particular, Merkez Eczanesi, a pharmacy established in the 1870s, is a must-see. You can also rent a bicycle to travel.
What about the princess system?
The Princess Islands are made up of four large islands and five small islands in the Marmara Sea. It was originally used as a place of exile during the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, but it began to develop into a resort after ferries began operating regularly in 1846.
Among the Princess Islands, the four largest islands, excluding private islands and uninhabited islands, are still loved as resorts, and ferries run relatively frequently, making them easy for travelers to visit.
3 hours is enough
The three islands, Heybeliada Island, Burgaz'ada Island, and Knall'ada Island, are very small islands with a straight line distance of only 1-2 kilometers from one end to the other. So, you can easily see everything in 2-3 hours.
