Need a reliable ride from Kadıköy to Adalar (Princes' Islands)? A private transfer gives you a fixed price agreed before you travel, a driver to your door, and no meter surprises. No private cars run on the islands, so your transfer takes you to the Kadıköy or Bostancı ferry pier and the sea crossing does the rest — booking ahead saves juggling luggage on a crowded quay.

A car-free archipelago of nine islands in the Sea of Marmara, famous for wooden mansions, pine forests and a relaxed, time-frozen atmosphere.
From Kadıköy the Princes' Islands are barely a short hop away — a quick transfer to the Bostancı or Kadıköy pier, then a ferry of roughly 30 to 50 minutes across the Marmara. Büyükada, the largest island, is beloved for its Belle Époque wooden villas, horse-and-bike lanes and total absence of cars. It draws day-trippers, couples and families looking to swap Istanbul's noise for sea air and pine shade.
Travelers we drive to Adalar (Princes' Islands) are usually heading for Büyükada mansions, Aya Yorgi Church and the phaeton & bike routes. We'll drop you right at the Kadıköy or Bostancı ferry terminals for the island boats.

Usually 30–60 min depending on traffic and the exact addresses. Adalar (Princes' Islands) is on the asian side of Istanbul, reached without crossing a bridge from Kadıköy.
No. Istanbul abolished the taxi night tariff in 2009 — a single tariff applies 24 hours a day, so a 03:00 meter reads the same per kilometre as a midday one. If a driver tells you there is a “gece tarifesi”, that is a scam. Our fixed Kadıköy → Adalar (Princes' Islands) price is also the same around the clock.
Anywhere you need — typically the Kadıköy or Bostancı ferry terminals for the island boats. Just give us the exact address or landmark when you book and the driver takes you door to door.
