Many travel agencies in Istanbul offer island tours, but we are truly different! Most tours claim to visit 2 islands just to make the itinerary look attractive, but in reality, these extra stops are a waste of time.

But with our tour, you’ll experience the island in a whole new way!The best answer to the question of why we are the best is that most of the people who go there claim that there is nothing to do on the island and that it is just a boat tour for nothing. However, the guests who go with us will understand that the island tour is a really remarkable tour when they experience the electric vehicle on the island tour.
